Hey guys. If your hearing impaired, you' ll try anything. For some people, like me, its not even the fact that you cant hear, but the fact that you cant tell what direction sound is coming from that drives you bonkers. Last Turkey season, my father was 10 yds behind me working the box call and it sounded like the call was coming from in front of me to the right. Imagine trying to figure out which direction a deer is coming from through the leaves given that statement. Thats if you can hear it at all.

I' ve lost almost 50% of the hearing in my left ear and have ringing in both ears. Shotgun ear the old timers call it. When I started hunting, no one I knew ever even thought about ear protection. Now its pretty much common place to see people with some kind of protection while hunting.

Walker makes a a good product in my opinion and I' m sure it can help alot of folks out. But everyone situation is different.

Be happy if you dont have to deal with hearing damage. Maybe one day, if an inconsiderate hunting partner decides to take a shot at some geese while the muzzle of his gun 2 inches from your head and you lose your hearing, give those paper cups a try and let me know how they work out. At this point, anythings worth a try.
