[Elecraft] Headset for hearing loss

[Phil Wheeler]

I'm deaf in one ear (nerve zapped 50 years ago by 
Meniere's episode) and at 78 have moderate loss in 
the other, so it has a hearing aid which makes a 
huge difference for music and conversation. I can 
still use an ear bug for hamming with the HA in 
place, fortunately.
