Title: Protect what you have left help...
Post by: STP22 on April 13, 2015, 06:59:14 PM
Hello, all! I hope all is well.
Well, being 45, I am starting to pay for the sins of my youth and bravado with some low grade tinnitus.
I am in the market for hearing protection that will still allow you to hear the delicate sounds of approaching game.
One constant complaint I see is the limited ability to determine the direction of the sound.
In your experience, is there a model that is moderately priced that is a good option?
A quick web search sees models priced up to $2K. While you can't put a price on hearing, that's a little steep for me and would just use simple $50 passive earmuffs at the risk of not hearing game as well. Is there a good option that won't break the bank?
Are Walker's products good?
Thank you.
Steve

I have some Walkers with hearing enhancement that I believe we're about $200. Don't know if that's too much but they are really great.

I recently listened to a Ray Eye podcast and they had the owner of Starkey hearing protection on. I'm not exactly sure on the price, but it may be another option for you to check out.

I have a pair of these and they are well worth the $50.00 I've spent.
There is a thread on here from about a week or 2 ago, where I give a review of them.
