I have had a set of E.A.R. electronic ear plugs for many years. I have even had to have new molds made when the originals wore out. I think they are about 12 - 15 years old now. Their service, when I finally wore out the original molds, was excellent and the new material is quite a bit more comfortable and should be more durable.

Mine are "old technology" and definitely not as good as the new digitals, but I have no plans to change. They work great for target shooting, letting me hear the traps release. They also let me hear things when hunting in the woods which I never knew existed and serve admirably as hearing aids when I get stuck in meetings where I am having trouble hearing (although I'm trying to quit that).

They are in my pocket as I typs and generally go everywhere I go.
