Hogg boy’s boycott has turned into another #MeToo fiasco. This is getting old and out of hand. It sounds to me like Starkey was just looking for a little free publicity by joining the Hogg boy’s boycott.

“Too bad about Starkey — they have a tinnitus device.”

Does it work? I really need help!

LOL. The drums have messed up his hearing. All he can hear is the high pitched squeals of snowflakes.

I never have since I was 5 years old, now I have to wear hearing aids ( not Starkey’s).
Of course back when I started shooting, hearing protection wasn’t even thought of.
When I was on active duty we were never issued any hearing protection either.
Odd thing is, the audiologist who tested me and fitted the hearing aids told me to take them off when I operate heavy equipment or go hunting.

Another crap company ignoring the abject negligence that facilitated the massacre.

Go to Hell, Starkey.

Thanks for the reply. I looked them up and their website says Audibel is a Starkey Hearing Technologies brand. So they just re brand Starkey - which is the same deal I’m in now. :<

It helped me.

I worked with an audiologist who tuned the unit to the precise (and limited) range of my hearing loss.

It took me a while to get used to the increased noise, but it did engage my oto-neurology and interfere with the tinnitus percept.

Expensive. At the time (2006) $3000 per ear.
