I had a set of Howard Leight electronic muffs that seemed to work well, now everyone tells me they were too low on BD protection. The head band fabric started to flake off and i gave them to my wife or daughter to repair, now neither says they have them so its time to replace them. I have no idea what to get and at my other forum the suggestions went from $300 up. I even thought to use the silencio magnums I bought years ago but they have had the ear pads replaced 3 times and they have gone flat again. I seems that silencio is out of business. What is a good set of muffs, that doesn't break the bank? i would like a suggestion in electronic and non-electronic if possible. my hearing is poor from my doctor neglecting my ear infections when i was a child so i need good DB rating. thanks for your help!
