ehunter,

I use on in my left ear to block the blast from the muzzle.
I've lost about 25-40% of the hearing in my left ear ... due to shooting live fire.

Now there is a tad (small amount) of delay added to the sounds making it into my left ear so when I hear a sound it's normally about 30 degrees off from where I thought it was (for close sounds). For far off sounds I can crank the unit up if I want and then I can pick up turkeys purring in between the leaves they are stirring up. I normally keep it just at normal so it corrects my hearing loss.
