David,
Thank you for the recommendation. I have seen a few oldsters with these and knew about them (I am a retired family doc) but somehow it never clicked. ? I had thought that I would lose some frequencies with bone conduction. This sounds like fun exploring something new.

Dave K8WPE,
There is a miracle hearing aids? called bone conduction hearing aids. My friend who is a ham had the same problem . He is totally deaf thru the outer ears but inner ear sections i guess work. Anyway he uses a device on the bone, no surgery, no meds nothing and hears like DEER in the woods.
havent Messed with them but my friend says he can hear night and day from it. He has some conditions which prevent him from going under the knife so the specialist recommended he use these. They work 100% he listens to CW SSB and has participated in pileups and such.
They just sit on the bone, no surgery and can be taken off anytime you want.
They are more expensive but his insurance covered most since it was a necessity. Dont know the particulars of the exact model. My friend doesnt talk about his alot.but i believe this is what he is using or something similar. If you dont want to pay the retail prices of the medical community, lots of items on ebay and amazon that does similar jobs but dont know which ones will work for you.
?The other one listed is off ebay.: i believe its $109 ,the one made in the usa with the creators photo.
The first one runs several thousands of dollars
Hope this info helps .

Gordon, this is amazing!? Please continue to be a rock-star teacher!!!? I owe everything to one physics teacher in highschool who saw potential in me, who had a ton of enthusiasm for teaching, and gave me an opportunity to work on a project.? That project lead to a scholarship for college, which lead me directly to my modestly successful career.? All because a teacher cared.? These kids may not have the same outcome I did, but this will set them up for future success and I'm sure they will always be grateful for your support.? I've been following your posts for a while and while I don't have any major hearing issues, I think this could greatly improve everyone's experience with the radio.? Can't wait to give your code a try!? Let your students know that we are all proud of their hard work!
