"Little foam earplugs on plastic headband thingy. Works for me. "

"I wouldnt wear earplugs although i can see why you would want to. That way incase somethings behind me, got in or something like that i might be ble to hear it. If im up on a roof shooting and one gets in downstairs and comes up to get me from behind unless i hear it im screwed."

"So have some friends watch your back rather than fighting alone. If you deafen yourself with constant gunfire, how will you hear zombies sneaking up anyway?"

"Have you ever worn earplugs? They don't mute out the entire world. They simply make it a little quieter, especially with regard to high volume things like gunshots. You would still hear someone yelling."

What about some hearing protection/enhancement? protects against impulse sounds (gunshots) but enhances smaller sounds (twigs breaking)"

"Exactly what I was thinking reading through the thread. I agree that you should wear ear protection but I remember in the Corps, I was having a hard time hearing the instructor during a live fire single envelopment exercise and I took out my ear plugs to hear because I was not going to get shot nor shoot someone.

Also, can you get one of these headphones with radio comm?"
