OK, then I will not be buying the CM500; thanks for the
tip. Actually happy using my Sony stereo headset, but an integrated
boom mic could be handy for some kinds of operating. David-Clark
aircraft headsets work with my hearing aids, but not as good quality
as the Sony.
I have never found a telephone that would work with my BTE hearing
aids. The sound is confined to the ear and the mic is behind my ear
(not enough sound gets there and most phones do not have enough
volume to hold the receiver over the back of my ear. Interestingly,
most cell phones do have enough volume - go figure!
At home I have 5-GHz cordless Panasonic phone in the shack and the
speaker-phone works fine. When I worked at Walmart I had to answer
the phone on speaker-phone in a noisy store - not fun! But then half
the customers had short circuited brains and got questions
like: "agh ur cough grumble - ya got one of those whatayoucallits
the does thingamajig?", "Ya sure, you betcha bub, they're on special
for $2,000" - hang up. Well, I did NOT do that but, man, some
people?! Elecraft customers aren't like that, right?
One more reason to enjoy retirement.

Whether BTE hearing aids work with headphones or not depends a lot on
the earpads of the headphones.
I have one Sony headphones that work fine (large earpieces) while
another Sony I have produces squeals. My CM500 headsets do not work
with my hearing aids in, so I take them out.
