I need hearing amplification for deer hunting where I hunt, what is the amplification of these?

Check the lin-technologies.com website. They have an "action Ear" that will work very well in your application. It has cut-off for any sound above 90dB.

There is a small amount of amplification when the volume is high, but it's not very much. In the woods, the natural sounds of bugs, frogs, birds, etc will likely drown out any benefit gained. These are really meant as hearing protection from loud noises, not as hearing enhancers for quiet ones.

Yes to a factor of ten. You can turn them up loud enough to hear yourself breathing, by when you fire a round - nothing. Best money I have ever spent on my hunting gear.

It says "electronic hearing amplification to 82dB". Not really sure what it means or if it answers your question, but I have read reviews of deer hunters that swear by these. I cannot confirm this since I have not used them in such a fashion. Hope this helps.

The 3M website only says - "Tactical Sport headset also amplifies the ambient sound up to a limited level to help the user to hear low-level sounds." From experience, I can say that it definitely amplifies sound and makes casual conversation at a noisy shooting range very easy without anyone having to raise their voice. As to hunting - I don't know, but would expect it to amplify ALL the typical noises one hears in the woods from all directions.

This headphone has a volume control and allows you to select from no amplification to quite a bit. I don't know the actual dB rise, but it can be more than a hearing aid that's for sure.

I've tried using these at the range during pistol shooting and this is not a good use for them.. not enough loud sound level ear protection...

I use these at the shooting range to suppress the sound at an indoor range. While shooting my instructor had to get right up next to me to say something for me to hear him. I can't remember if I heard the others shooting for I was concentration on my own shots. It is definitely going to deaden the sound for sure. Good luck studying!!!!

I was using them with a crossbow. They shot about 3 or 4 inches lower and 1 or 2 inches to the right of my target points. The hype sounds really good, but it is all hype. I lost 2 deer with them.The first I got pass thru and no blood trail. The second, did not get pass thru and found 2 small drops of blood in 150 yrds of tracking in the snow. Very disappointed, others may have had better luck, but I will never use them again

work great on the range but I normally use an electronic muff for shooting so I can hear others.

A hearing amplifier is just that. For people who hunt or just need to hear distant or subtle sounds that are hard to hear with just the naked ear. A hearing amplifier or aide is for people who just need a little boost in hearing. Probably someone who's hearing is diminishing. A hearing aide is for people who have significant hearing loss in one or both ears.

If you have a lawnmower that is loud enough to cause ear damage you should get a new one with a Honda engine:) The external input jack is standard phono jack type. If you turn up the volume full on these the roar of the crickets is incredible!!! They are really meant to clip sonic boom from gun fire while enabling you to still hear the range safety officer and score keeper.

I use them for singing onstage. They filter out the bad frequencies so it doesn't sound muffled. I'm not sure they would be recommended for shooting a gun.

Well I have picked up other sounds that have yet to be identified in the woods (cryptozoology research). But I strongly believe you may be able to pick up what you are looking for (just my opinion). The microphone is very sensitive and with the Microphone boost enabled, it allows me to put away the parabolic dish more often (Unless the sounds are very, very far away). I hope this helps.

Yes, they can be used for shooting or hunting, but please use the pair with the higher protection filter. LiveMus!c HearSafe offers very good protection against high impact sounds and noise, while retaining speech and conversations without having to take off your earplugs and not having the isolated feel of earmuffs or foam earplugs.

It limits the noise to 85 decibels max. It does amplify noises so you can hear conversations on the firing line at the range and you can adjust the volume. I have been shooting for over 30 years and these are the best set of headphones I have ever had.

The basic that I does not have deer sounds. But I understand they have many more to download on their website. Hope this helps.

Old question, but for NASCAR and other VERY loud events where sound quality isn't as important, like shooting, a plug with a higher NRR is mandated. Like the disposable 32 dB plugs. Get those to preserve your hearing. Get these for concerts.

I can't say that the exact 20 db but I use them for shooting and they seem to work

Not at all. Look into ear plugs for shooting ranges for something like that. Hope this helps!

The Howard Leights lower the decible of the noise. When I shoot at the range, sometimes I turn them off and sometimes not. I am very pleased with them. They allow you to talk to others with them on and you can hear everything. You'll enjoy em.

I have not done any shooting but I can say that these reduce noise although perhaps not enough for that kind of noise. If you are not looking for fidelity in the sound that goes into your ears, I would look for stronger protection if I were you.
