RE: game ears
Don't expect full magic. If you watch the walker infommercial then one gets the idea they are bionic. I use one occasionally. If there is any wind, forget it. If its a quiet woods then they help. The biggest problem is learning to focus on certain sounds and filtering out the rest of it.

RE: game ears
Too me, unless you wear two of them, you simply can't tell where the sound is coming from. Our hearing works best in stereo, both ears hearing at the same level, so if you amplify one ear, you loose the ability to determine which direction the sound is coming from. And, yes, if there is any wind and you wear one, it sounds like you're in a tornado., and if it's calm, that squirrel in the distance, will drive ya nuts, 'cause you'll keep thinking that there is a deer coming. I've tryed them, and just didn't help me.
