Walker game ear razor

Was looking at a pair of the Walker game ear Razor silencer earbuds at the gun store yesterday. Just wondering if anyone has tried these and how well they work as they are a bit pricey. Maybe their is something similar out there that works better ?
 
With a NRR of 25db, (if it fully seals your canal) you should put your money into something more substantial.

I use both muffs and plugs when shooting. You will like them better than getting saddled with a $6,000.00 pair of hearing aids!
Just my .02€

I have a set of the $26 ones that I've been using the last six months. If you follow the instructions carefully they form and fit very well. They have a section of silicone that molds to the ear and can be washed, and a section that is foam that can be replaced when it gets dirty. I have shot with them using rifles with and without brakes. They work well with rifles without brakes, but I recommend doubling up with the brake. They would be great for suppressed rigs. They are a good product for the money and made in the USA.
 
I shaped them to my ear today and tried them out running a chainsaw and sitting on the tractor for about 3 hours. They were comfortable and stayed in place. Regular ear plugs seem to shift around and get loose over time. Regular cheap foam ear plugs get wet with perspiration and expand out of my ear over time. I have not shot with them yet, but I am sure they will be fine. Even though they were the cheaper pair, I could listen to the radio in the tractor cab.

I purchased as pair and per the specification were rated at 30Db and I really was not impressed with the sound suppression. Compared to a equally rated pair of earmuffs there is an obvious difference in sound that leads me to think them not as effective, this was with the foam inserts which should grant the most effect.
 
I have a pair of the Walkers game ear razors. They come with different size outer casing and also different foam inserts so you can customize to your ear. They seem to work good at muffling sound. When the adjustable volume is turned up they amplify sounds like voices of other shooters at the range. While you can here these sounds it’s hard to judge which direction they are coming from. The batteries are hearing aid batteries and drain down even when not in use and turned off. I had mine sitting for about a month and had to change batteries out the next time I used them. The batteries are cheap but a pain to swap out.
 
This is advice from an audiologist :
When around loud noise and in particular shooting,
ALWAYS wear both plugs and muffs. Damaging noise
can travel through the outer portion of the ear and also the mouth if you happen to not completely close it.
It only takes ONE shot to do unrepairable damage. Been there and have got 5K hearing aids that wont correct my loss.
Its your choice before it happens to you. LDS
