    Best ear muffs for shooting and hunting

    Can anyone shed light on practical but good ear protection for NZ hunting conditions? My hearing is still good but I'm starting to get tinnitus so want to keep what I have left. Im pretty good at work with using PPE so I'm thinking maybe shooting has been the weak link with hearing protection.
    I was looking at electronic options to help with listening when not shooting and the MSA Sordins or Howard Leight Impact Sports was what I initially found through online reviews etc. Both have pretty low NRR though @ 18 & 22dB.
    Currently packing my 3M X4's I use for work. They are low profile, good NRR @ 27dB. plugs are better but they're also a pin in the ass.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
