As of a couple of days ago I am officially an old man - was just fitted with a set of high-end hearing aids. I checked, at around $3500 for each ear, they cost as much as two high-end rifles. But no charge to me since I'm a veteran & the cost was covered by the VA. As I get used to wearing them the obvious question is how compatible are they when using electronic ear muffs. Or should I take them out when shooting? I'm sure many of you wear hearing aids. What do you hearing aid uses do or suggest?

I take mine out before I get to the range so they won't amplify anyone else shooting.

They are not supposed to amplify any thing over 90(?) decibels. I used the yellow foam plugs and muffs for many years. The foam irritated the ear canal, but it was a good combo. For the past 5 or more years my first set of aids and muffs have been working well. For the past 12+ years there has been no change in the prescription. 
I'm not competing any more and often times there is no one else at the range. It also helps that my reloads and caliber choices are far from magnum class.

On the line shooting rifles, I wear ear muffs. In competition where there is movement, think Cowboy Action or IDPA, I wear Walker ear plugs.
Indoors, plugs under ear muffs.
Good luck.
