Slightly off the subject (Blue Tooth), but I wear Phonak Savia OTE hearing aids and they have a high-fidelity program selection. This is for flat freq. response up to 22-KHz for music and television listening. I definitely can tell the improvement even with > 30dB hearing degradation and loss above 800-Hz.
Ten years ago I agonized over whether to spend money on a nice home-theater system or whether my hearing was too bad to enjoy it. I am forever glad that I got the system as ordinary TV speakers are nearly useless for me. Of course I use captioning all the time for speech. One of the nice aspects of the k3 is that audio can be taylored to one's hearing preferences. 73, Ed - KL7UW BTW I just installed an upgraded soundcard (emu-0202) in my computer and it really sounds nicer. It was not my primary reason to get the soundcard (LP-Pan baseband processing is primary). ------------------------------ Message: 10 Date: Fri, 04 Feb 2011 06:56:36 -0000 From: "Dave Sergeant" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Blue Tooth To: 'Elecraft Reflector' <[email protected]>, 'Max Kempson' <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII No, Tom, they are NOT audio loop devices, but true bluetooth, and only work with modern bluetooth hearing aids. And I am not sure what sort of HiFi you expect, but if you have a hearing aid it is probably academic.

Confusingly they call it the iCom, which is nothing to do with the other company... 73 Dave G3YMC 73, Ed - KL7UW, WD2XSH/45 ====================================== BP40IQ 500 KHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com EME: 144-1.4kw*, 432-100w*, 1296-testing*, 3400-winter?
