So, you advocate hunting with electronic hearing protection in your ears? Which ones in particular?
For me, “hearing protection” has always meant ear plugs or simple headphones. Neither of which are at all viable for still hunting in hardwood forests. If I was sitting on top of a mountain sniping at unsuspecting animals hundreds of yards away, then wearing ear plugs and/or headphones wouldn’t be an issue.
The decreased muzzle blast also makes a noticeable difference between firing unsuppressed and suppressed. It is far more pleasant shooting suppressed.
