Passive earplugs from sordin pro x

[mayhemag88]

Hi guys, I'm a shooter from EU, I practice IPSC and IDPA. This is my first post here, so thanks for the possibility and sorry for my bad english.

Ok, I have a Sordin Pro X and without any doubt are one of the best hearing protection, but they are over-ear. Maybe the shape of my ears cannot accept the over-ear, I have too pain after 1-2 hours of training (I use the gel pads but is a little improvement, the pain remains).

I tried to bear the pain for some months (I thought that was a question of practice) but I'm at the limit.

So, could be has a sense to use a normal passive earplugs? I don't care about the ambient sounds, I want only to protect my ears totally from shooting damages.

Thx to everyone

Ciao!

Are your Sordin's resting on the top of your ears? I have to make sure that the strap is adjusted correctly so the weight of the headset is resting on the top of my head, not on my ears, or I have a similar problem.

Is a good observation. Yes, I am sure, are in a right position. I will retry to care, but in the meantime, are there the earplugs option to value?

Just a short note on hearing protection.
After a trip to the Audiologist Dr, and a trip to the hearing aid specialist, ( Both of them shooters, the hearing aid specialist ex military)

Both are in agreement Best hearing pro is properly installed foam, inside the ear plugs. Regular muffs over the ears will help.

Best I have found are the twist in type. They seem to seal better and install easier.

Hope this helps .

You will need to check the NRR number for the hearing protection you are considering. That's the best way to know how much protection you are getting.

This is a great response for me. I'm a biologist and now I'm studying to be a doctor, but I'm not still arrived at this point in my path university. So, I'm really interested to know this question.

Meantime I read in other forum the same thing: with a good and specific method installing the foam inside the ears is the right system.

But I'm located in EU and for now I found some custom ear plugs too expensive (but all electronics).

The only kind of ear plugs that are customizable and with maximum protection are these > https://www.ebay.it/itm/28499695827...rentrq:adfaaa9a1860a24197120dcbfffd3026|iid:1
