[TenTec] CVS TDE headphones

[Robert & Linda McGraw K4TAX]

Oh, but there is.........hearing aids.......to a point.

And they are a LOT more expensive than $19.95 headphones.  One error with 
those $19.95 headphones causing subsequent hearing damage and one will find 
that a pair of hearing aids will greatly exceed the cost of the Orion II. 
Neither are covered on medical insurance.
