Long live the Game Ear
I bought this Game Ear (WGE-XGE4B) several months ago on a gamble that it would serve as a hearing aid. Having had an audiologist test my hearing and telling me what I already knew - that my old ears no longer pick up high frequency sounds like they did before age and high decibel motors and equipment dulled them. His nice behind the ear aids go for over $2100 and I seriously considered improving my lip reading skills. Then I found this device. It seems to have the circuitry of a real hearing aid. The graphic equalizer allows me to set the aid to bring in the higher frequencies that make speech clear rather than the muddy sounds that I had so much trouble hearing before. If you still hear voices but have trouble distinguishing words, it is likely not that the speaker is mumbling, but that your hearing, like mine cannot distinguish the subtler mix of frequencies that make speech and song intelligible. When my Game Ear arrived, I tried out the ear buds and settled on the small ones. My wife walked into the room and began to speak to my back. I heard every word and turned to her with a big grin to tell her the good news. (Perhaps one should not tell everything he knows. I now have less of an excuse not to hear requests) Next I went outside and set the ear for outside sounds of the sort hunters would want to hear. Immediately distant background noises became clear. The wind in my pine trees was more distinct. A trio of crows flew overhead and I heard the sound of their wings flapping. I could hear bird song that I did not remember existed. Do you know the vocal sound of a Ruby Throated Humming Bird? Well, I do now. Its song is in a very high pitched range that I have not experienced in years. I can hear a mosquito coming after me. I immediately turned and went back into my office to order another Game Ear to balance the first. The sound compression that Walkers says reduces the sound of firearm discharges also works to reduce the sound of two cycle engines on weed whackers and chain saws. I see that these devices are going to help me prevent further damage to my hearing. I have experimented with all four settings and mostly use the one beep category for inside activities --conversation and TV news. The others are helpful but I still have difficulty hearing speech in large rooms filled with voices, but then I had that trouble when I was young and able to hear better. I have been followed by a swamp-full of crickets for several years. Tinnitus. The crickets are still there but the Game Ear does not amplify them so they are further in the background than before. I have twiddled the graphic equalizer to give me the best results. I also trimmed the mushroom cap off a pair of middle size earbuds and find that treatment makes them more comfortable for inside living. When I find myself in company with other old codgers who are experiencing diminished hearing ability, I tell them my story. I think these hearing devices are the equal of good hearing aids that cost much more. I believe that the technology of higher priced custom fitted devices is the center of these and I am very impressed with the ease with which the four modes can be set when they are needed. When you consider the process of purchasing hearing aids, much of the cost comes from all the attention you get from the salesperson. He is making a living selling hearing aids. Mass production and mass marketing is brutal to such people but such is the market place. The ability of Game Ear to dampen two cycle engine noise and gunshots is wonderful. Before, I found hearing protectors to be inconvenient when working outside and now that I have these devices on as a matter of habit, I'm reaping a great benefit. A word of caution. In hot weather, these devices seem to hold in sweat and Doc. told me that ear infections are a possibility. The solution is to remove these and let the ear canal air out from time to time and to clean it out with hydrogen peroxide when there is a build-up of ear stuff. I do. I also dry it out afterwards with a few medicine bottle dropper drops of clear rum. I think rubbing alcohol would be a bad idea but the 80 proof (40%) rum seems to help dry the ear canals and I have had no ill effects. Rum in your ear does nothing to alter blood alcohol levels. I have on several occasions stepped into the shower without remembering that I was wearing these Game Ears. Once, I didn't remember until I had knocked one off with a soapy wash cloth. Immediately, I stepped out, opened the battery compartments and placed them on a dry cloth on a bathroom cabinet. No damage. I think getting water into the tube might end their usefulness but so far that has not happened. The battery life is much more than I expected and I found PowerOne hearing aid batteries at less than $20 for sixty plus a little plastic battery carrier that is of no use at all. The PowerOne batteries last a week or more and come in an ingenious dispenser that takes up little room in the pocket of shirt, vest, coat or pants when I leave home for a while. The Game ear beeps three times to let me know the battery is getting low. Change is easy but the beep comes some time before absolute failure. I'm keeping the used mercury containing batteries in a medicine bottle until I can find a way to recycle them. I have occasionally soaked the ear tubes overnight in alcohol (clear rum) to sterilize them and think that might be making the tubes less flexible. I have ordered as replacements?spares these: 2 x Universal Sound Tube + 6 x Ear plugs /eartips /domes for BTE Hearing Aids. The price is much less than Walkers charges and I'll post a review for that product when they arrive in a few days. PS; The Universal Sound tubes arrived. They are soft and come with three ear buds each. The tube in one of the two zip-lock 2 x Universal Sound Tube + 6 x Ear plugs /eartips /domes for BTE Hearing Aids ackets was long enough that I cut two sound tubes the length of the old stiff ones. The tubes are soft and require diligent manipulation to fit to the game ears, but once in place hold on very well. When the old ones got stiff, they also began sometimes to fall off when I put them on or took them off. The Universal packet comes with three ear buds, the smaller of which is slightly longer and smaller than the Walkers stock earbuds. I had cut the mushroom cap off the originals to allow more air circulation and comfort; the new one is longer and smaller and is very comfortable without modification and holds on against bumps and the push of my eyeglasses earpiece. If / when I need another set of replacements, I will get these again. This is the longest review I have ever written. I love and depend on my Game Ears and have no reservations about recommending them. Oh, yes. I paid full Amazon price for them and think I got the bargain of a lifetime. The price for the WGE-XGE4B model is now about forty dollars less than I paid in November. I suppose hunting season being closed has to do with pricing strategy. No complaints. I'm about four thousand dollars ahead on hearing expenses. 2 x Universal Sound Tube + 6 x Ear plugs /eartips /domes for BTE Hearing Aids

Works well for moderate hearing loss
I’ve owned four different models of Walker’s Game Ear products over the last nine years. This review summarizes my experiences with them (prices are as of May 2017): Ultra Ear ITC (GWP-UE2002) $27 for two Ultra Ear BTE (GWP-UE1001-NXT2PK) $45 for two Game Ear HD Pro Elite (WGE-XGE2B) $165 Game Ear HD Power Elite (WGE-XGE4B) $200 If you just want to hear sounds in the woods, the Ultra Ear models work well. However if you’re buying one to help understand human speech, you’ll probably prefer the Game Ear models. I’ll discuss them further down. Ultra Ear ITC & BTE ================ From what I can tell, these two models are identical in terms of the sound quality you get from them. The only difference is that one is Behind-The-Ear (BTE) and the other is In-The-Canal (ITC). The BTE Ultra Ear is nearly twice as expensive as the ITC Ultra Ear, but falls out too easily - the opposite of what I expected - so I only use the ITC. I found both the BTE and ITC useless for understanding human speech. I can hear voices clearly but have trouble understanding the words. Where the Ultra Ear models are outstanding is in the woods. I hear sounds in the woods clearly and the units are inexpensive enough that if I lose one, it’s not a catastrophe. My main use for it is for hearing mountain bikers approaching on the trail, so I can step aside. Otherwise a person could be riding right behind me and I don’t hear them approaching. I’m a mountain bike rider myself in addition to being a hiker and runner. I know how easy it is to sneak up on people without them hearing me. The Ultra Ear ITC allows me to hear bikes coming so I can step aside in a safe place. I only use the ITE model. The BTE has a terrible design that makes it difficult to keep in place. If you tip your head or something brushes against your ear, it will probably fall out. I haven’t found a way around it. The problem is caused by a difference in design from the much more expensive Game Ear HD Elite BTE models, which have a solid hook that loops over the ear and helps prevent the Game Ear from falling off. The Ultra Ear BTE does not have this. The hearing tube just loops over the ear, but this is not stable enough. The ITE model is easier to keep in my ear and cheaper to replace if I do lose it. Game Ear HD Elite models =================== Walkers makes four BTE Game Ear HD Elite models (approximate May 2017 prices); I've owned two of them. Game Ear HD Elite (WGE-XGE1B) $140: The most basic model. It lacks features found in the more expensive models and is the weakest. It’s only 40dB. The other HD Elite models are 50dB. Game Ear HD Pro Elite (WGE-XGE2B) $165. I own this one. It has all the features of the WGE-XGE1B, but is 50dB and allows you to change frequency to detect higher or lower pitched sounds. So far I have not tried changing the frequency. The default works well for me. Game Ear HD Comm HD (GWP-XGE3B) $169. This comes with a PTT mic loop. Otherwise it’s functionally the same as the WGE-XGE2B except for having three program modes (Communication, Enhancement and combined Communication and Enhancement). If you’re only looking to improve your hearing, the other three models are better choices. Game Ear HD Power Elite (WGE-XGE4B) $200 I also own this one. It’s functionally is the same as the WGE-XGE2B except for two differences: you get an audible tone when you change volume up or down, and it has four program modes (General, Crowds, Nature and Power Boost). The modes are described in the user guide mostly in terms of how they benefit hunters. I haven’t found they make much difference to me and that changing modes is more of a hassle than it’s worth. However the audible tone (two beeps) when you change volume is very useful. For me this is the primary reason to chose the Power Elite over the cheaper models. Replacing hearing tubes on Walkers BTE models: =================================== So far I’ve only used Walker’s tubes, but I expect I’ll try a different brand when I need to buy more. I’ve gleaned the following information from other people’s reviews. Other reviewers say that: They have had success using Siemens tubes on Walker BTE units Walker’s BTE units take a standard ⅛” diameter tube There are two types of tubes you can buy: plastic and neoprene. Plastic is stiffer, neoprene is softer. Walker’s are plastic. Some manufacturers use slightly different diameter ear tips than Walker. If your Walker tips don’t fit perfectly, it might be worth trying a different manufacturer’s
