Re: [Elecraft] Headphones for Hearing Loss
Hi Kevin, Which dongle is that? Low-latency Bluetooth transmitters are hard to come by and the specific model might be useful to others. 73, Julie On Thu, Oct 14, 2021, 00:19 wrote: > I have Phonak aids that are bluetooth enabled.

Re: [Elecraft] Headphones for Hearing Loss
I have Phonak aids that are bluetooth enabled. Headphones over these tends to cause feedback howl. For me, the direct connection to my receiver via bluetooth works well. I have a bluetooth dongle that plugs into the xcvr audio output. The dongle cost me about AUD14.00. I paired it with my aids and it is good. vy 73 Kevin VK3DAP / ZL2DAP On Thu, 14 Oct 2021, at 15:04, Victor Rosenthal 4X6GP wrote: > I also tried with the device Resound sells.

Re: [Elecraft] Headphones for Hearing Loss
I also tried with the device Resound sells. It just didn't work very well for CW, even though I asked the audiologist to program my aids to not try to suppress tones around 500 Hz. I didn't check the delay, because the sound was too weak to be usable. Worked great for TV, though.

[Elecraft] Amplified headphones
I use BEATS amplified over the ear with my in-ear aids. No feedback and tdhe sound is very good. BTW my aids are free through the VA. 73, Mike n6zw __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Yes, this a deal-killer if you're a CW op, and it can be a bit disconcerting (although not nearly as bad) if you also monitor your SSB signal. Several suggestions. First, one that works for K6DGW, who mostly works CW and has a lot of hearing loss. Set RXEQ with maximum cut for the 3 lowest bands (50, 100, 200) and cut at least 6 dB on the 4th (400 Hz). Set the highest bands for max boost. Depending on what note you like for CW, play with the 400 Hz band. If your aids use mics that are in or behind the ear, try headphones that surround the ear to see if they will work for you. I don't wear aids, but my XYL has Resounds and likes them. If you haven't already bought aids, I suspect, but do not know, that a mic in the ear might work best. Sony MDR7506 or even the Yamaha CM500 should probably work with in-ear mics unless they cause feedback, but that could be fixed by a programmed setting that reduces gain. 73, Jim K9YC __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
