[CQ-Contest] bluetooth t-coil headphone substitute for contesting

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

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?
