Default RE: Question about hearing enhancement aids

I have lost hearing and wear hearing aids! So bad that my right ear is completley gone. I am directionaly disfunctional.....

Now I have worn Walker Game Muffs for the past 4 spring seasons. Why? Well scouting with my partner I coud not hear those distant gobbles. And I wear them right over my hearing too! It was a small investment to be able to hear what I once did.

The Game Ear gave me that back. It is a grea tool.

Pro -
Allows me to hear in good distanca almost as well as my partner
Keeps your ears warm in cold climates (I also use them deer hunting)
You will over come the bulk while shooting
Batteries last a long time - Small expense to replace -
Fits over any ole hat
Does not impede my face mask
During the shot it reducesthe loud bangto a mear soft pop!

Cons
Without them I am deaf and still directionaly disfunctional
Windy days can be bothersome (but you can adjust bass and treble to reduce it)
Does pinch my ears while wearing glasses over a long time - (Just readjust or take a break)

But they have never cost me the shot -
And I won't hit the turkey woods without them.
