[Elecraft] Hearing aids and K3

[Walter Underwood]

Earlier, someone asked about stereo with T-coils. This is a stereo T-coil passive loop set, with two small hooks that go over your ears. Looks like a nice setup, $49.

They also have a headset similar to the iPhone, where the mic is a small bump in the cord, though it appears to be mono, even the two-earpiece version.

I can't recommend for or against any of these, because I don't use hearing aids. I have some loss, but not enough to need them, according to the hearing test.
