Following up.
I looked at EARS on the above suggestion. The salesman was quite helpful and said I could probably be satisfied with a non electronic filter if i didnt feel like hearing loss was sufficient to warrant amplification. The DECI filter fits in a custom molded ear plug and costs $200. This sounded pretty good for pricepoint/effectiveness/cost ventured just to try, but it turns out it will take awhile to get them fit and made. So I ordered a pair of similar looking filters (without the custom earplug) from orvis. I think they may be made by AXIL but Im not positive. Anyway, $30 for a short term solution. I truly didnt believe they would work but, as I was shooting every day, I needed something quick. They do seem to work, you can hear the dog and the birds and when the gun goes bang it sounds like a gun but your ears arent ringing after. I will pursue the custom setup after the season.
