Like many older contesters, I use hearing aids. Fortunately, my hearing loss is all above communications frequencies, so I just take my hearing aids off when on the radio.

But... There are devices on the market that communicate with hearing aids via the t-coils built into most of them, and some of these even connect cordlessly to bluetooth devices. It occurred to me that these could offer a good cordless solution for use in the hamshack. To be optimal, such a device would be stereo, of the neck-loop type rather than ear hooks, and offer long-enough battery life for a 48-hour contest. The bluetooth transmitter would connect to my headphone jack, or to a USB jack on my PC.

Has anyone had good experience with a particular unit?
