I have started using custom-molded ear plugs (Radians brand, $15 from Cabelas) for hunting involving frequent shooting. Works especially well for dove hunting, since you don't rely on your hearing to detect game. I don't use anything for deer or turkey hunting, as shots are so infrequent. I did quit using a ported, short barreled shotgun for turkeys because of the noise. I like to avoid muffs for wingshooting due to interference with getting your cheek on the stock. I can see that the electronic in-ear devices would have some advantages, but I have no experience with them. They sure are pricey.
