Used the walker game ears for many years. I started wearing only one and a plug on the other side. Then went to both. Much better with both for direction of sounds. Need to keep them turned down in wind and I do like the old foam tubes better than the new ones, they held better in my ears. Also have to watch you don't lose them with hats and glasses going off and on. I'll keep using them but there may be some better ones out there since I have these a long time.
