Maybe some of them sit more closely over the microphones... but in that case, you'd also be getting less correction from the hearing aids. >I just ordered a Yamaha CM500 which has gotten rave reviews on this >reflector, and I am hopeful that they also will allow me to wear my >over-the-ear aids with them. > Good luck with them, Don, and we'll look forward to your report. -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
