[QUOTE="Andy S., post: 5321998, member: 131"] I want to hear more ([I]good, bad, ugly, etc[/I]) about your hearing aid(s). Five years ago I asked my ENT doctor and his audiologist if I needed hearing aids ([I]was pretty sure I did not for every day life, but sort of [U]wanted them[/U] if they would help me in the turkey woods[/I]) and he said "not right now, maybe in the future". He also advised there was legislation in Congress that may one day make hearing aids more affordable for the general public, thus he told me to wait and revisit my "high frequency hearing loss" situation at a later date, which I have not done. I can still hear limb gobbling 1,000 yards or so on a pristine morning with no wind ([I]verified with Google Earth[/I]), decipher gobbling direction for the most part, but once could hear drumming at 60-80 yards, and now he has to be in gun range (< 40 yards) for me to hear it. Losing the ability to consistently hear him drumming at 80 yards is a big deal to me for how I like to play the game in the hardwoods with terrain features. Being able to hear him and pinpoint his location ([I]walking in leaves, spitting and drumming, dragging wings[/I]) as he goes silent with minimal gobbling is a must for continued success in the hardwoods as he struts, periscopes and carefully looks for the hen (me). I would like to hear your thoughts on your hearing aid(s) and any insight you can provide. [/QUOTE]
