My question to you is... What do you think are the Pros and Cons of each type of hearing enhancer -- the over-the-ear muff or the behind-the-ear aid?
You need to consult a good independent audiologist. He will test your hearing and, depending on the problems identified, will most likely recommend the best digital hearing aid. If you turn to a specialist specifically in sports hearing aids, he will also select a device for you, but keep in mind that “sports” is a purely marketing prefix here, in terms of functionality it practically does not differ from non-sports, but at a price, ooh dude, for a prefix "sports" and external tuning you will overpay solidly!
