Great for whispering to each other or whatever, it amplifies the quiter sounds. Then/if Greg pops one off with his bloody canon, you're ears all all lovely jubley as the muffs kick in and block the loud noise.

They are a nice comfy fit too and keep the listeners warm

I have substantial loss of hearing in both ears with my left ear being the worst. Dougie - you mention your right ear? The specialists I have been to (3 of) have all identified my left ear loss due to shooting and in particular from being a right handed shooter. Apparently if you shoot right handed you expose your left ear to damage more than the right and vicky vica. The rest of my total hearing loss was due to being treated for 12 weeks with a powerful anti-biotic to cure a spinal infection. ACC would not come to the party with this one. They used the good old de-generative/aging knock back. I contested my case and took it a independent review and still lost. The whole process took 2 years. Everything you read about ACC shit is absolutely true. Biggest issue for me was I had no recent historical data. Last hearing test was 20 years ago. So, use your muffs (I have high quality electronic muffs). Have your hearing tested and keep the results then if you have some rapid loss for non aging reasons you can fight ACC. Re the ringing which a lot of us have - there is nothing that can be done for that. The main thing is to ignore it - not always that easy - because if you start to listen to it, it will drive you mad. The use of suppressors must be one of the greatest things to come along in recent times.

Got a pic Dougie? I was just curious on the brand and how much. I have a set of electronic muffs but they are bulky and shit to be frank. Does Greg sell them? I am keen on a better set.

Only one problem here Dougie, those helmets are only for the flashy types/them that don't know as they are pieces of shit.
