I am familiar with both the Walkers Game Ear and conventional hearing aids. Comparing these two are like comparing apples and kangaroos. They are simply not the same thing. Walker's Game Ear is designed to enhance normal hearing. It is a hunting device that will assist by amplifying ambient sound while supressing loud noise in order to protect your hearing. A hearing aid is programed specifically to the loss of the patient. It is not designed to protect and should not be worn during any kind of shooting or high decible noise activity. The Walker Game Ear is a great product when used correctly.
Walker does make a hearing aid. It is not the Walker's Game Ear. They sell them in Cabela's. I called the local store and there are 5 locations that sell hearing aids. (Hamburg, PA., Dundee, MI., Kansas City, KS., Fort Worth, TX., and Glendale, AZ.)They also offer a free hearing test.
