Mark,
I too am considering buying something.... If times were a bit better I would go the $3000 hearing aid route, but for know I am going to go with the Walker game ear. The new smaller digital ones. I have read alot of praise for them and the price is in the $500 range for two. I am just about to bit.

I don't mind muffs for clays, it is the duck hunting that has deteriorated my hearing. Having trouble with my left ear.
