Dear THR Members:
I learned too late that my hearing in my left ear is severely damaged. You know the rest of the story in that regard. The only shooting I do now without hearing protection is hunting. I am not too worried about big game as I don't shoot many times, its the pheasant hunting. I shoot hundreds of shells per season (baby magnums no less) and I need to do something to protect what I have left.
Here is my question:
Has anyone tried out the in-ear electronic hearing aids that are available and are willing to provide me with recommendations for or against?
I believe there are three kinds: EAR, ESP, and SportEar. All are expensive, but I am going to spend the money on something. My other alternative is to see the doc and get a hearing aid which apparently has the same sound deadening abilities as the above models.
I am not interested in the muffs so please no recommendations for them.
Thanks
