[Elecraft] Headphone for the hard of hearing

[JohnChanceRead at aol.com]

Thank you one and all for your prompt and helpful replies.  
To sum them up - 
1. It will be bad news if I remove the paper from a loudspeaker - it  will 
stop working.
2. A visual method of reading morse would be helpful but I would rather use  
vibration, but visual and vibration would probable be the ideal.  I was  
taught to read morse visually as well as audible morse whilst as a young 16  year 
old Navy trainee.  I have not done the visual bit since - but then I  have not 
tried the vibration method either - although a good friend of mine  G3UFB now 
tells me he experimented with it 10 years ago when I went deaf and  reckons he 
could read it at 18 WPM - but I haven't got the sensitivity in my  fingers 
that he seems to have. Hence my enquires regarding using a LOUD  speaker..
3.  WU7R tells me that a kit called 'son of zerobeat' is  available and I 
will no doubt purchase one.
4. Steve (AA4AK) has sent me an interesting article on Sensory  substitution 
- I shall endevour to understand this 6 page leaflet whilst  imbibing my Xmas 
Brandy. The further down the glass I get the more I will  understand it. Thank 
you Steve.
Again thankyou all - further suggestions would be most welcome.
