[Elecraft] Headphones for Hearing Loss

[elelist984 at elitemail.org]

I have Phonak aids that are bluetooth enabled.  Headphones over these tends to cause feedback howl.  For me, the direct connection to my receiver via bluetooth works well.  I have a bluetooth dongle that plugs into the xcvr audio output.  The dongle cost me about AUD14.00.  I paired it with my aids and it is good.
