[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 333394, member: 3373"] Pretty much in the same boat as everyone above. Finally gave in to my wife a few years ago and went to an audiologist. yes he recommend hearing aids so I relented and bought a pair. Expensive? yes. Would I do it again? In a minute. Don't find them difficult to wear. They do help in loud areas where I used to have a terrible time understanding the conversation. Do I hear every word? Nope, but I can carry on a conversation and can easily adjust the volume if needed. Some complain about wind noise but my aids don't give me that problem at all. The only thing I don't like is the price and don't understand why insurance doesn't pay for aids as it does seem to be a medical issue to me. I do wear muffs when shooting targets but not hunting and don't notice any difference. I have thought about looking at the hunting type muffs to see how they work but for the younger people, don't take your hearing for granted. Wish I had used more protection when younger and maybe today I wouldn't be a part of this discussion. [/QUOTE]
