You're welcome. I have the Razor model neckband unit and have not used either the rope band or Raptor neckband models. I try to only give opinions on models I've used since another model might work differently for me or you. I have some degree of hearing loss and tinnitus that comes and goes. I find that I am often able to ignore tinnitus but not always. I use the Game Ears to protect the hearing I have left and also to hear the critters better. Your particular hearing situation might be different so your results might also be different.
