Why would you use electronic hearing protector? why wouldn't?

I've used a set of electronic Peltor comtacs every game for some years now.  Pretty much always play indoors and my hearing is still kinda-somewhat intact, so a BFG going off right by me at the mall in some enclosed space is bloody unpleasant frankly; have hearing tests annually and I don't want to end up getting booted out because of airsoft (unlikely, but still).  Wearing ESS goggles with the strap under the standard headband on the Peltors is no problem at all, perfectly comfortable and I've got full seal against BBs and protection against noise; as well as a plastic mask attached to the goggles to look after my teeth.  Weighs very little, diminishes my peripheral vision and directional hearing but in a game I really don't give a ****, rather guarantee that I keep my hearing, eyes and teeth.

Had neurosensory hearing loss when I was 15. Lost almost all hearing in my right ear. Pretty shite situation for a musician.

Managed to fix it with aggressive steroids and hyperbaric oxygen treatment.
