Does anyone hear hunt while wearing crossover hearing aids; in particular for upland birds?
I have lost 100% hearing in one ear and the hearing in the other ear isn't great, so I plan to get crossover hearing aids. Even without them I have lost my ability to tell where sounds are coming from. So, if I were hunting chukar and the flush on my deaf side I will naturally swing to my good side, because that is where I hear the flushing birds coming from. By the time I figure they were on my bad side the opportunity is likely lost. Has anyone with one-sided hearing loss found a solution?
For those who are unfamiliar with crossover hearing aids and are curious; crossover hearing aids are a set of hearing aids where the hearing aid in the deaf ear picks up sound and then transmits it OVER to the hearing aid in the good ear. The result being that you can hear sounds from both sides, but you only hear them in your one good ear. So all sounds appear to be coming from one side.
