Electronic muffs are great. I have a pair by Pelitor ($75+) and some no-name ones from Tractor Supply Store ($9.95). Both work about equally well.
The problem (at least for me) would be to remember to a) pick them up and b) put them on.
Did you ever do a drill of responding to a middle-of-the-night breakin? Being all stove in and handicapped I cannot move fast. My buddy, who is almost as slow and crippled as I am, took less than 10 seconds to get from the back door to my bedroom door. (Average time was 6.2 seconds!) Not much time to wake up, wonder what that noise was, decide I'm being invaded, and get my essential war gear. (Gunney Highway: People, let's have an equipment check-- weapon? Well, let's keep it simple. You got your boots on, you can walk into combat.) I'm hoping that flip-flops count.
stay safe.
