Hearing protection while hunting

[crunch68]

Does anyone use electronic muffs while hunting? Seems like a good idea. I've never owned a pair, so I'm looking for suggestions on reasonable quality, not too pricey pair.
I do wonder how well they work, battery life, comfort level.

I have some cheap ones that amplify sounds if I crank them up. Might be useful.

I would only consider them if I was using a short barreled gun that made a real load bark.

I honestly never wore hearing protection while hunting. Stickler for them while at the range however. I can see the value in them, especially in a duck blind.

I just wear ear plugs when hunting out of a canoe with someone.

I don't use hearing protection while hunting. I like to hear the beast coming! I could see it in a duck or goose blind, but even then you can sometimes hear them coming in from behind, or other out-of-sight instances.
Target shooting--always wear them. Same with lawnmowers, chainsaws, hedge trimmers...anything above a voice really.

Walkers can be turned up to the point of where you hear everything in the woods, but as soon as the shockwave hits them, they shut off.
Lee sonics have a valve in them that does the same ting.
