Hearing aid?

Anyone use a hearing aid to hear your hounds better and further?what brand,type?

hear better?

Have had hearing aids many years... yes you hear better BUT if they are not balanced you will not be able to tell direction, my hearing got so bad that the specialist couldn't improve them I now have a Cochlear Implant in the left ear and It surely does improve hearing BUT I have no directional hearing. the garmin Pro 550 plus will help there!

Thanks.Falling apart is no fun.Can you name a type or co brand of hearing aid you had success with?

I've had mine for 8 years so I don't remember what brand. Got mine thru an audiologist and were not cheap. Have experimented with a couple of the cheaper ones without much success. Was going to use the cheap ones for hunting so I wouldn't loose the others. Good thing about using an audiologist is that I go in every couple of months and they clean and check them out for no charge and they have lasted 8 years so that makes the cost not so bad.
