HEADPHONES & HEARING

Jim Scott
After seeing K6MGO's question about headphones for the hearing impared, I though he and others may want to know how I get around my tingitus hearing problem:

1)I feed a set of Shure SE 115 Sound Isolating earphones and a Heil Pro-Set Plus into an ILUV i111 splitter with dual volume controls,  then into the front phones jack of my K-3.

2)I first put on the Shure earphones and the the Heil headset over them. You can then adjust both sets of phones to your liking as well as having phase reversal. This gives me an isolation factor so good I cannot hear the phone ring 2 feet away.

3)The two headsets do not touch each other, as the SE 115 buds are designed with an angle, thus deeper fitting  the canal .  You must run the wires over the top of your ears.  I find no exagerated discomfort wearing both units.  Having two sets of wires required harnessing then together for ergonomic efficiency.

4)What I do find is that this combination puts the ringing in my ears into a background level. Creating an enhancement of intelligent foreground audio. Thus this combination works best for me.

5) Like all with ideas, I am interested to hear from those who have accomplished  hearing enhancements and how my idea can be improved upon?
