Here's the NRA link:

I don't have the units with me, but I beleive they are called Magnum In-ear Digital models. Paid about $600-700.

Sounds like the right unit, but none of the pics on the NRA link match mine, which are Magnum Ear analogs. Under the link for "HOW OUR PLAN WORKS" the site says "An audiologist or board certified hearing instrument specialist will conduct a hearing evaluation and determine if hearing correction is indicated." So, it looks like that part of the process might have been missed. If you got Magnum Ear digitals for $600-$700, that is extremely cheap. A friend has been planning to buy a pair of analogs, and the best price he can find locally is $800. I paid a lot more more than that a few years ago.

Replacement - Tried to PM you - don't think it went thru. Please contact me at jdallas1@msn.com. Thanks.

Email sent.

Didn't come thru

Just sent another one through a different server.

I too have the analog units. Mine are about ten years old and work very well. I prefer them to the digital and do not plan to replace mine until I have to do so. They work as described in detail above to cap loud noises.

Try googling Mead Killon. Mr. Killon is THE guru of hearing assistance devices.

That should be Mead Killion of Etymotic Research.Apologies for the poor typing.

I just called Starkey. The NRA price for two in the ear Magnum Ear ITE digitals is $699.99. They recommended a place near me who will do the impression for $50. They then take the impression and make one piece units of hard plastic unlike the others that take a unit and add a soft plastic outer shell that fits your ears. They clip the loud sound shutting off for that brief moment. They have a volume control for adjusting outside noise but everything shuts off when the shot goes off and then comes back on.
