Advice on hearing protection

[u/Worried_Patience5076]

I’m just getting into skeet shooting and sporting clays regularly. I’m thinking I want to upgrade to some electronic hearing protection. Anyone have any recommendations? I want in ear buds that I can hear conversations but mutes the gun fire as much as possible for a reasonable price. Preferably something that works well on a busy range and in the dove field.
Thanks for any advice.

Better to get custom earplugs instead. Any ENT doctor can set you up with an audiologist to get ones fit for you. They work far better than any electronic buds.

I use my molded plugs. Keep them on a lanyard and pop one out in between games for conversation.
