Mike, I have hearing aids - behind the ear type. The only problem is that many headphones produce feedback, so I use speakers. I do have a couple set of headphones that work OK with them - they have large cuffs and hold the transducers further from the ears than most. Go to an audio shop and try the headphones before buying.
Forget the Bluetooth and other external devices IMHO, those hearing aids have progrms that can be set. I have one program that has no noise reduction, just the amplification that matches my hearing loss, and I use that for listening to ham radio or music. Many audiologists do not consider a program like that for most users, so just ask. If your dad is normally in a low noise local environment (home situation), it will sound more natural. Yes, if I kick in the NR on the hearing aids, CW sounds choppy, but SSB voice is OK. 73, Don W3FPR Mike Short wrote: > My dad recently got fitted with new hearing aids, and is a ham. > > They are here: > http://www.phonak.com/com/b2c/en/products/accessories/communication/icom/ove > rview.html > > > > He did not get the iCOM unit yet, but will probably soon.
