I have been looking at them for mainly noise cancelation during shooting, but can enhance normal hearing. I do have some hearing loss in my left ear, not to bad, but right ear is more severe loss. Looking at their website, they have so many models with vague comparisons, It gets quite confusing. Any suggestions appreciated.

Using them to enhance sounds in different conditions is pretty surprising. Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

They work great, and I like them better than the expensive ($200) Pro Ears I bought years ago. I know electronics become outdated quickly, but using cheap AA batteries is a big benefit to the Walkers. When shooting, I wear foam ear plugs and the Walkers. With the volume turned up, I hear conversations just fine and get better hearing protection from the firing line noise. Thoroughly enjoying Alaska since 2001.

I have had excellent results from the hearing enhancement, resulting in a buck we had been hunting several years with one horn. He walked in behind my stand and I could hear him in the pine needles with the electronic muffs but not when I took them off. Without them I wouldn’t have known he was anywhere around. I almost fell out of the stand that morning because the duck hunters on the other end of the property opened up at daylight and it sounded VERY close.

I love guns and spend a considerable part of my time and income hunting. Heck I’ve even bought a few guns right of the classified ads on these forums. Last edited by AKPENDUDE; 07/16/21.

The men who wrote the Second Amendment didn't just finish a hunting trip, they just finished liberating a nation.
