Hi Kathy,
I have not seen either unit yet.
I also have several headphones that I can try when I get the chance to try
them out.
If I can get a demonstration, I will try my headphones, but I might also ask
you to find out about yours as well.
I have the same problem you do, similar words sound alike to me.
Good Virgie Underwood

Hi Virgie, have you had an opportunity to try the two units you are
considering with earphones rather than listening through the built in
speaker. I find this speech much better.The headphones I am using happen
to come from my Creative Labs MuVo. They are nothing special, in fact
people don't use them with their muvo because they want better quality for
their music. But I find them more clear and better defined for voice than
other speakers I've got around the house. All I can read on them is the
CREATIVE logo, but I might be able to find out more in the manual. Perhaps
you could get several different headphones and try them with the devices
somewehre and see if that even comes close to helping you at all.
My difficulty is that this speech is too soft as in not emphasized on the
final sounds so I cannot hear the end of the words. This means that
similar words sound alike. There is a hiss in the background when the
speaker is running that makes it a bit hard to hear clearly as well. But
I'm wandering if noise blocking headphones might block that out. So far I
can manage with the Function key + L to spell out words I don't
understand, but I"m concerned about the future as my hearing gets worse.
