You have to chew it or you can't get a snug fit........I forget my ear protection about once a month. I use the headset style ear muffs - real nice. Always leaving them in the wrong bag. Now Istuffafew of the little marshmellow dohickies in each range bag for days I forget my headset. But........if I'm all out.....I always have my Nicorette Gum.

I think I am going to buy a couple extra pairs. One in each box and one in my truck
