I bought a set of Clark earmuffs back in 1986 that set me back over $40, which was a lot back then. Clark makes headsets for pilots, so I figured they would be good - and they were - until I bought a set of Howard Leicht 29dB Thunder earmufs from CDNN Sports (www.cdnnsports.com) for $9.99. They are just as good as the Clarks, more comfortable, and they fold up! I've lost much of my hearing also due to gunfire, so I am trying to preserve what little is left....what?
