Problem hearing UPDATE

[SteelerFan]

Well my H L's came yesterday and hit the woods this AM.  Had rain and wind, that was wild.   Walking in wet grass sounded like ice and  scared myself when grabbed a ziploc sandwich bag in my pocket, sounded like dry leaves  LOL.    Some birds way off that I'm sure would have missed without them but I had  backup(21 year old son with me).   Long story short pulled them off when could hear them good and 20 min later a longbeard earned a truck ride home.   Thanks for all your help worked GREAT especially for $36 TYD!

WOO HOO!!

Congratulations Sir!!

I tried these several days this past week listening in the morning, and they too can generate white noise. 

They do enhance my ability to hear significantly, however I struggled triangulating the source of the sound with them in.  What sounded like a gobble hard off my left shoulder with the Walker buds in my ear was in fact a bird gobbling couple hundred yards straight in front of me when I took them out.  Even the tweety birds were hard for me to pinpoint with them in.  Any suggestions to help?

Congrats on a nice bird and good choice.

Not sure about that particular model but with Game Ear, I adjust volume in each ear and test by closing my eyes and snapping my fingers, left to right. When I get the volume right on each one, I can hear the sound going left to right. Directional hearing is essentially like a hearing abled person...

Thanks for the response sixbird - Unfortunately the Razor XV only have a single volume setting controlling both ears.  I can see how adjusting the volume in each could help with triangulation of the sound source.  I think my right ear is worse than my left which might explain why everything sounded like it originated over my left shoulder - it would be louder in that ear with the sound enhancement.

That said, I do like the Walker Razor for the gun range - I can hear the officer talking at the other end and the response time is fast enough to attenuate the muzzle blast.
