 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!

I agree. I wear hearing aids all the time, including hunting and it helps with hearing the dogs (still don't hear them as well as my buddy who has normal hearing) but can't course the dogs very well and if two dogs are treed they often will sound split to me till I get right to the tree.
