Cheap Gel Pad Upgrade for Earmuffs and Hearing Protection

Last updated on December 10th, 2018

I wear earmuffs for hearing protection pretty often. Around a year ago I found myself not too happy with the stock ear pads on my earmuffs. It’s not that my hearing protection sucked, it’s just that after a few hours it can get tiresome.
