One large flaw in the design
I really like the Peltor hearing protectors and they work great. They fit better than some other brand that I have. However the one bad drawback to the design is that the batteries are very difficult to get into. One must pry off the ear pad then replace the batteries underneat. I cannot do it with my fingers alone because the flange nearly cuts into my skin. I must use a screw driver. Surely there is a better design. I hate this about them. If one has arthritis, you can't do it. I have lost some muscle strength after taking statins for cholesterol and I cannot do it with my fingers.
