Ive just had hearing aids fitted at 68yrs old
.On my audiologists advice i dont wear aids when shooting and will use both muffs and ear plugs in future .Once your hearing gone its gone and too valuable and too late to spend the rest of your days moaning what if.Im pretty pedantic on this - i hate daughter mowing lawns with no hearing protection ,similsrly clowns using chainsaw s etc .once youre hearings gone thats it.no go to mitre 10 pick up new lot of hearing .youre deaf till death!
