[Elecraft] Heil Pro 7 headset with KX3 - RF feedback?

[Rick NK7I]

Slight topic change, apologies.

Has anyone used rx audio via Bluetooth into their hearing aids? Any issues?

I was hoping the K4 would have BT audio, but it doesn't.  So the next 
best option would be to send the sound card audio to BT in a computer, 
linked to the aids or headset...  I don't have my K4 yet, so it's a guess.

73,
