Anyone have hearing aid feed back using hearing protection muffs??

[Larry (Omaha)]

If you have, or have had, hearing aid/muffs feed back, what will help, or resolve?
Thanks

Try turning the volume all the way down or you may have to remove the aids. I use plugs and i can’t hear anything when they’re in.

Wait, i take that back i can hear the ringing plain as day!

Between the ringing in my ears and those cicadas right now I’m going nuts!

I have trouble hearing the range offecer now with normal volume. Thanks but that won’t work.

Electronic muffs(volume turned up) and turning my hearing-aids down a 1/3 works for me.

Too many engines, metal fab shop and shooting, hearing aids(Resound) at 54.

I use plugs and muffs so on shoot day, the aid stays home. I only have to worry about one as the other ear is hopeless, aid or no aid. Dead Zone.

I take my hearing sides out when wearing muffs. Don’t have to worry about hearing range officer commands since I own the range.

I struggle with my electric ear protection anticipating a text from my cell phone. I would get a series of beeps then my phone would vibrate indicating a text. It would pick up other phones, if I was shooting online with other shooters. Annoying to say the least, when trying to achieve a perfect score.

I switched to Walker brand of ear protection and the issue went away. If possible try another brand of ear pro, maybe borrow a set from a friend.

I don’t remember if I had that problem, my dogs ate my hearing aids two years ago and I don’t have enough nerve to go and ask the VA for another pair.

My hearing aids have to come out for muffs. Motorcycle helmet, too.

I'm guessing your problem is with electronic muffs. Have you tried the old non-electronic ones?

After years of jet engines, squeal of arresting cables going out, and the verdammt 5"38 cal shooting 14-15 rounds per minute about 20' from my work area, the VA finally gave me some hearing aids. But no refills on batteries!
Besides, I live alone, and I know what I'm saying to my pets. So the aids stay in their nice comfy box.

The ones I have are non electric. The issue (I think) is the hearing aids don't like the cover up. When I just hold my HAs in my hand to place them in the charger they squeal like crazy. (feed back)

I'm confused as to why you'd wear ear muffs - to cut down on noise - at the same time as hearing aids - worn to increase the level of perceived noise.

If, like me, you are deaf enough to depend on electronic devices to improve your hearing under normal conditions, what use is it to then wear extra devices to reduce your hearing perception?

Sounds crazy to me.

RR first thank you for your service. second make the VA give you another set, you earned them and if you don't they will spend the money on hookers!

Unless I turn my hearing aids off or way down any muff, electronic or not, causes squealing. I just take them out and use electronic muffs so I can hear range commands and hold conversations. Never found a way around the squealing.

VA policy is stated as:
Hearing aids or eyeglasses are to be replaced if the device was destroyed or lost due to circumstances beyond the control of the veteran.

A fellow vet recently had his replaced under this policy without any issues.

I just use electronic muffs. Don't need the HA when I do that.
