[ICOM] Icom 706 mobile headset

[Jim Vohland]

Well perhaps you got it some where else but believe it sez "cyclist" not "person". big difference. Also your Louisiana reference specifically sez "covers Both ears". 

FYI: 
Wearing of headsets
(Section 316.304(1), F.S.)
 A cyclist may not wear a headset, headphone or listening device, other than a hearing aid, while riding. 

Comment:  Use of such devices can be distracting.  A cyclist should not rely on hearing when changing lane position, crossing another roadway, etc.  Sounds of an approaching vehicle may be masked by other traffic or, in some cases (bicycle, hybrid-electric car) too soft to be heard.
