Battue,

After discussions with my Audiologist about expectations and times and places of wearing them, I went with the Customs. They are the molded devices which provide a nice, comfortable and secure fit in your ears. These will help block the gunfire sounds better than the other models. They have exceeded my expectations in the field and in social circles too. They are NOT hearing aids.

There is a NRA hearing benefit which knocks the price down some. The NRA directed me to the Sound Gear dealer. I will mention that I dropped one and it stopped working. It was within the one tear warranty period, it was sent in to Starkey and I had it back within the week. That is customer service.

I know quite a few hunting friends who should be wearing hunting hearing protection, but are not. Anyone can PM me with any specific questions.
