Instead of dreaming up a new gun I have got to get off of my seat and do something before I go 100% deaf.

Here are some links to products that can be worn in the field as thats what I am talking about. We all can get muffs for the range but I would not wear them all day in the field. I have to do something and I want to find out whats going on.

I just spoke with Ear inc. and they have models that can be programed to compensate for frequency loss. Just get a audiologist to send the report to them and they will custom program the protectors for you.

Here is the best one that they have.

It would be the Full Shell one if wind noise matters.

I really wish I had done something before. Even a year ago would have mattered.

Call EAR in Colorodo. Hollyn is the main lady. I have known her for a while. They make a good product. I think a set of digitals now is around 700-800. Maybe you can get an AR discount. I would ask her if there was enough interest. PM me if you want more information.

Go with the ESPs, better product and customer service. Jack Homa is a first class guy to deal with.

G'day, I have used the Walkers game ear (the basic version) for a few years now, no problems execpt for the wind noise at certain angles. If you shop around, you can pick them up for about $40 -$50 a set.

Cheers, Dave.

I also understand the Radiens are quite good for $60-$80per set from Cabelas. I personally use the Peltor tac6 muffs when hunting. Provides very good audio and keeps the ears warm as well.

I have used the Pro Ears for about four seasons and they work pretty good. Have to be very careful with the on/off switch or you will go thru a lot of batteries. I believe they have come out with a type that fits around the back on your head rather than across the top which should be a little better for those wearing hats, etc.
