Started Great Poor Follow Up
I purchased two Game Ear HD for turkey hunting in the Virginia mountains. They worked great until the second time out this past spring when one would not work. I contacted Walkers and was directed to send the unit along with $59.95 to have the unit repaired. About a month after sending the unit along with everything that was included with the original purchase (Unit, ear plug, sound tube and adjusting tool) to the provided address I received the unit back. No ear plug, sound tube or adjusting tool were returned. I tried to contact Walkers but they will not reply to my e-mails. THEY TOTALLY FAIL AT COUSTEMER SERVICE.
Hear Here
My 4th Walker's Game ear, puchased because my oldest one just died out. As a hearing aid it is excellent, better than my fitted ones that cost me $2,700 for a pair. I appreciate the inclusion of a tiny screwdriver for adjusting the frequency response, I used the screwdriver on an older unit that buzzed, and the buzzing stopped, so I gained another useful hearing aid. The only drawback to this unit is that it has no on-off switch and rotary volume control like more expensive units. So to conserve the battery when I'm not using it, I have to open the battery compartment slightly and then close it in order to turn the unit back on. Sometimes this leads to battery falling out, or the door closing inadvertently which runs down the battery. But I knew this, and opted not to buy the more expensive model with the rotary volume and on-off wheel, I assume they still make these. Adjusting the volume correctly is a learning curve, and it gets erratic when the battery is low, but it's no worse a...
Walker's Game Ear Hearing Aid
If you already have earmolds you like, the Walker's Game Ear hearing aid is a great alternative to a $1500-$2500 hearing aid. The Digital HD Power has a power boost button, volume control, and frequency adjustment. If you don't need those features, there's an even much cheaper one, also available at Amazon.com. It turns on and off like many other hearing aids, by cracking open the battery access door. Power is instant on. Wind noise is lower than many other hearing aids. Wear then for a while like any other hearing aid to get used to the high frequency volume boost, if you don't normally hear high frequencies. Batteries (size 13) last a looong time, but there is no warning beep when they need to be replaced. Sure, there are a few more features in a [...] hearing aid - are they worth the difference in price?
Amazon.com has a good discount off off retail price, and free shipping if you select it.
