Lou,

I have a similar question, but was wondering what people do if they wear hearing aids.
If ear protectors are put on while wearing the aids, the aids squeal ferociously.
If the aids are taken out, the hearing loss is so bad that NOTHING can be heard.
How much amplification do those electronic protection actor’s provide?
I recall taking a handgun class and had to take my aids out in order to use the hearing protectors (not amplified).
With the protectors on, I could hear nothing at all.
The range instructor had to tap me on the shoulder to notify me of anything.
Your info will be greatly appreciated; I am taking my CHL class in a month.

What kind of hearing protectors are you using? Foam plugs that you insert into your ear canal? Or are your hearing aids such that you can’t wear protective muffs either? I have the Howard Leight Impact Sports and with the volume cranked up, I can hear much more than I could otherwise hear. Actually, normal noise levels were really loud.
