Well maybe second to last. :-) (But I doubt it.)
The most important thing I can do with my fading hearing (I'm 69
and fading hearing goes with the age) is to eliminate background
noise. I'm sitting in my shack and I can hear the jackhammer
outside, cars on the street, my wife walking in the living room,
the freezer humming away, and the backup drive on my desk
seeking as Time Machine does a backup. One of the greatest
blessings is when we have a power failure and most of that
background noise stops.
I use headphones which helps reduce the audio QRM. The CM-500
headphones help a lot, but what really works wonders are my
Sennheiser noise-canceling headphones. Turn them on and the
noise just disappears. I have used them while working ARES/RACES
for the Los Gatos Christmas Parade. They help there too,
although a lot of the parade noise still comes thru.
Cheers - Bill, AE6JV
