You have to protect your hearing now after 40 yrs. of loud now this tinnitus is very fukin annoying. The high frequency pitch coming out of the vacuum system at a plastic Thermo plant red lined what was left. So your left with a high frequency hum, just something you learn to deal with.

Yeah. Same here. Working around screaming chillers and other large refrigeration equipment over the years has taken it's toll.

Exactly, multiple racks running 5-6 compressors has taken its toll. Along with duck hunting and loud music

Engines rooms for me.  And motorcycles.  And Rock N Roll!

The sound of horsepower is intoxicating 🍺🍺🇺🇸

Racing, shooting and 17 years at the factory. Sucks but can’t fix it now, just stop it from getting worse

[unforgiven]

I wouldn't wish it on anyone. To go to the woods and not be able to enjoy the silence sucks. Double plug if you have to.

Top Fuel drag racing is another one that has had it's effect on me.

For hunting, go cheap, brother.  Just run some SureFire EP3 Sonic Defenders earpro.  These guys:

@98Z5V those won’t work to well for hunting around Wisconsin. We usually hear deer long before we see them. It’s not like more open areas where you are glassing for animals.

Even in areas like mine where you can get some 300 yard shots sometimes, you will still hear the deer first because of the deciduous forests we have. The forest floor is noisy as hell. As a kid I was even taught to never even cover my ears with a hat in the cold for this very reason. It was always do nothing to impede your hearing. 

[98Z5V]

Have you tried those, though?  You can still hear through them, when you don't have them capped.  The only time I cap mine is when I'm shooting something CRAZY loud.  Otherwise, no caps needed, shooting - and you can still hear.  And it doesn't impede your cheek-to-stock weld.

You been smoking that back woods meth? I’ve never ever ever fucking ever heard a deer come in. One time I swore to god that fucker grew right outta the ground!

I need something for duck hunting where we talk in the blind but shit! Birds! No time for plugs. That’s where I get burned the most and for 13$ I’ll try them. I’m still ordering some muffs.

That's only because those motherfuckers are pure evil, and they're stalking you directly to your death.  For real.

Trust me on that.     FUK deer!

Between then and bear, I don’t understand how a 200-450 pound animal can be so stealthy

For the deer, I know their trick - God made those fuckers in FDE.  That's their secret.  Same shiit with squirrels and rabbits - FDE.

The bears, I can't explain - especially if they're black bears.  God didn't like them very much, making them black.  That is a color that does NOT occur in nature, in vegetation, and it sucks in the woods - that color stands OUT in the woods, and it's even crazier in night vision - it glows in night vision...

Deer, rabbits and squirrels?  FDE.  We're not meant to find them.  They find US.  Especially those fuckin' deer.
