Hearing protection that don't squeeze my head lol

Let me ask you this then, where's the best place to get the custom earplugs? Because even though I shill for Costco I'm aware that mine don't fit me that well, too loose.
 
I had my current set made for me while I waited, at the Grand.
Most of the larger hearing aid specialists don't mind making up a set for you - that's where I got a couple of previous sets.
The Yellow Pages or your Doctor may be of help.

If you are going to use foam ear plugs use howard leight MAX plugs they have the highest NRR rating of any foam earplug available, they are also the most comfortable in my opinion.

We use both the MAX and the LaserLite, always have a big box of each. The MAX have a one db advantage, and are almost as comfortable as the Lites. The MAX we have are the corded ones, and the cords stay in them quite well.

The uncorded Lites are easier to remove than the uncorded MAX.

Use these and the lites at work and at the range when I forget my muffs. Muffs are Brownings with one of the highest NRR's I could find on the shelf at the local shops. As a plus they fit my oversized noggin exceptionally well.
 
I use Browning electronic ear-muffs. They don't press very hard on the head, but do insulate the sound. One important point for me is that, when walking in the woods on our Sporting course, I can hear the birds singing and the wind rustling in the trees... all part of the experience for me! And you can hear people talk, too. Before that I used custom molded ear-plugs - they work well, but no sounds of nature!
Cheers,
Roger
PS. I've shot for nearly 40 years with regular earplugs and ear-muffs - not deaf yet! I've only used the electronic earmuffs for the last two years.
