A government spokeswoman offered no immediate comment on the report that staff at the Government Communications Headquarters -- the agency that monitors global communications -- had suffered hearing loss while listening to "enemy emissions." The center at Cheltenham, 90 miles northwest of London, employs some 4,000 people including code breakers, computer experts and linguists. The Sunday Telegraph said staff blamed inadequate headphones -- which have since been replaced -- for the hearing damage. Staff "turned the volume up to full if foreign transmissions were difficult to understand. Some transmissions were accompanied by constant buzzing and crackling," the newspaper said. New headphones, introduced in 1995, came too late for operators who worked at the center during the height of the Cold War, the newspaper said. Individual staff have received compensation payments of up to $31,800, the report said. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.
