I have a letter from UKC that allows me to use a hearing device to be able to better hear my dog barking. I have worked around loud noises and cannot hear my dogs once they get very deep. My question is is anyone else using devices and what seems to be the best device to use. Thanks Chad

i use a behind the ear hearing aid in my worst ear. if I wear one in both ears. I can't tell what direction the dog is in. I put reflective tape on the hearing aid because thick brush will knock them out of your ear. They also enable me to hear the other cast members say things like "Is he ever going to tree that dog" or "I wish that old goat would hang it up".

I have no way of telling direction neither they could be 10 yards away and I couldn’t point to them if 1 million dollars was on the line. I go March 18 to see about doing the other implant they say having 2 implants helps directionality considerably.
