[CQ-Contest] Amplified headfones

[Tom Osborne]

Hi All

With my hearing slowly getting worse every year, I noticed this year I had a 
hard time in the SS.  I am now wearing hearing aids and it is hard to get 
them adjusted right without squealing or not being loud enough.  Without 
them I have to turn the volume almost all the way up on the receiver to 
hear, and that distorts the signals.

Does anyone use amplified headphones? I wouldn't be interested in some whiz 
bang type I'd have to pay 4 or 5 hundred dollars for.  I would need some 
kind I could modify to use the Heil boom mike with.  It would be nice not 
having to mess with the hearing aids when contesting.  73 and TIA
