CrashDodson Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 How do you go about getting your insurance company to cover some of the cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) I have coverage for hearing devices. Sport Ear came to the conclusion that I had hearing loss (my wife agrees), so they submitted it to my insurance for coverage since their devices qualify. Or so they said... After 3 months of run around my insurance said they had not heard from Sport Ear so I cancelled the order. That's how my insurance would work. Maybe some have it as preventative? The Sport Ear rep said it's mostly .Mil and .Gov employees who have the coverage and was surprised at mine. Look up your coverage, or go see an Audiologist and ask.

CrashDodson Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 you were working with soundgear directly or through a hearing dr? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) Sorry.. got my providers mixed up. Corrected my original post. This was Sport Ear directly, at a match. He ran a hearing test and sent in the order. I am going to find the local place that deals Sound Gear and try them. They get good reviews and are much cheaper than the Sport Ears.

Superpipe9 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Where the best place to get the MSA sordin pros with gel cups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashDodson Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I have managed to get a hearing dr to try to file under hearing aids for the soundgear product. I am going next week for hearing test and molds and we will see what happens i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve RA Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 If you have Amazon Prime, take a look there as they have a number of the hearing devices at very good prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickman301 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I used to run the muffs but during the summer my ears get super hot. I switched to the surefire insert style. Both are connected with a cord. They work great and I can still hear pretty well. For under $20 its not a bad option to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashDodson Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Have had my soundgear for a few weeks now. Love the custom molded fit. Much more comfortable in the heat than muffs. With the small size of the speakers in these things there is little to no bass so the sound is a little, tingy, for lack of a better description. You don't notice it after a few minutes.

You don't notice it after a few minutes. Adjusting the volume lower than you think it should be gets rid of a lot of the "tingyness". I find I can still hear fine, but without the extra noise.

candiru Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I've started using EarMurmur plugs and they are working fantastically. No electronics so no amplification. Just soft silicone shaped after having each ear scanned with two passive filters. Can hear normal speaking. Still double up indoors. :-)No affiliation, just very pleased with them.

They're both supposed to be quite good I went the Sport Ear route; but returned them after they tried to fix mechanical problems twice. Now I use a deep set of Peltor which is comfortable on days i spend 8 hours or so with them on; Whereas others are either too tight on ears or annoying inserts.

HalfBastard Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I use the radians DIY kit, got it at Cabela's for like $15. They work well enough for outdoor matches. When I'm shooting indoors, I throw some HL impact sports on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenBreeg Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Switched to the Etymotics this year. They are good as far as hearing protction and it is amazing not having headphones pressing the side of my head. But they can get irritating inside your ears. I have to use the small foam tips for best fit and they are pretty coarse. You also hav to reset them occasionally throughout a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacticalpanda Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Surefire EP4. I lose then or they west out every six months or so. I keep 2 extras in my truck, range bags, etc. At 10 bucks each they euro well are comfy and if I lose them I don't care. Then I can double up with muffs if needed.

I left mine in for maybe 2-3 weeks, they oxidized and killed those plugs for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was at area 8 match and it was loud, ears are kind of "tired" today. I think a good set of custom molded electics is my next big purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
