[Elecraft] Headphones

[Don Wilhelm]

  Ian,

I use the same type hearing aids.  Talk with your audiologist.
My audiologist set a "Music" program for me, which does not have the 
echo cancellation.  I can even listen to an organ with that setting.
I do get feedback with some headphones, but I have success using the 
Sony MDR series (consumer grade, not the pro version of similar 'phones.

I just ordered a Yamaha CM500 which has gotten rave reviews on this 
reflector, and I am hopeful that they also will allow me to wear my 
over-the-ear aids with them.

73,
