The only way to protect your ears is to wear hearing protection, period. Fortunately for us hunters, there are companies that manufacture quality ear protection that not only protect our ears from muzzle blast, but also enhance greatly our ability to hear. There are several types available at different price points, so, my strong advice is to search for the product suitable to your needs.
I have found they greatly enrichen my time in the woods no matter my quarry!
I don't hunt without mine.
