Hearing is no doubt my weakness in the woods. Does anyone use any hearing devices and how well do the work? Mine too. I have some hearing loss from childhood ear infections and shooting trap without hearing protection (not smart). For archery hunting I just wear my regular hearing aids. They help a lot. For gun hunting I wear a pair of Radian electronic muffs. They help a lot too. The problem is they are two years old and don't seem to be working very well this season. I had the left one fail to shut off while sighting in my shot gun and it really hurt my left ear. Now they are making a "clicking" noise. I went back to my E.A.R. EarScopes. They are similar to hearing aids only they shut off at 85 decibels. They do not amplify very much at all so I am doing a lot of hunting with my eyes instead of my ears. I'll be looking for some other amplifying electronic muffs before turkey season. Good luck..and protect that hearing. |

My hearing is ok, but how do I keep my ears warm and hear?

My hearing is ok, but iam still young at 47, but i did get a cheap hearing device at wal-mart, that seem to amplify real well, the only thing is i would'nt want them in my ear,during shot gun, I really didnt use them all that much,i never could get use to have something in my ear,so i guess it would take some time to get use too, plus i cant stand something over my ear(like a sockcap),or a scent loc-hood.
