My late father suffered from tinnitus (most likely a combination of the Army and shooting skeet for years without hearing protection). It was maddening for him, and when he bought the latest and greatest hearing aids, it only frustrated him more. Eventually, for target shooting, he settled on the custom plugs (like a 29 or 30 NR) with a pull tab on one, so that he could quickly pop it out and talk to whomever he was shooting with when he needed to. That seemed to work very well.
