Strongly suggest you look at electronic hearing protection (full shell in the ear). I am 61 yo, have significant high frequency hearing loss and can not turkey hunt without my "electric ears". They are not cheap but I would pay a huge amount to have normal hearing back and want to do anything possible to protect what I have left. My loss is due to operating farm equipment for years with no hearing protection in place. I did hunt until I was 45 without hearing protection but I feel like the constant noise of equipment is the larger source of my loss. Look into ESP, EAR or Starkey hearing protection. If you go with digital devices they can be tuned to your current hearing loss so that you get better hearing AND protection at the same time. Be prepared for sticker shock but keep in mind no amount of money will buy back lost hearing. PM me if you would like additional info. Starkey was the first manufacturer to offer electronic in the ear hearing protection and I bought them as soon as they were available (about 16 years ago) and have had a pair of ESP digitals for the last 4 years.
