Headphones

[PHILIP GRAITCER]

My day job is reporting and producing features for public radio. In  
the studio, I use a pair of Sony 7506. I also use them for amateur  
radio.

The Sonys cost about $100, and they have an extremely comfortable set  
of pads that fit over the ears, which are replaceable. Although the  
response range is much wider that we need for amateur radio, they are  
really a nice set for DX or doing something for broadcast. They are  
also foldable so they could be used in portable situations.

In the field, however, I use a pair of in-air Etymotics E-6s - also  
about $100. They fit in the ear canal so would not be useful for  
someone with hearing aids. I prefer them over the Sonys because I  
don't have that geeky reporter look. I am a little lower profile, even  
though I am carrying a shortgun mic.

Both the Sony and the Etymotics are very good at isolating external  
sound - the Sonys because of their great pads, the Etys because they  
fit inside the ear canal. I sometimes wear them in an airplane,  
without music attached. They are so good at isolation, that when I am  
reporting, I do not walk around with the Etys in, unless I have my  
recording mic open.

I have had many inquiries for that hearing aid I wear.

They are the Phonak Savia.  Cost me about $5200 for both ears in
2006.  I see this model is not longer offered and newer models
available.  Hearing aid technology is advancing quickly.  I have no
financial connection with Phonak.

Dear All,

For your information

The Danish company Phonak are selling a device under the name of TVLink
which plugs into the line out, Scart, headphone or external speaker
connector and from it's console sends in stereo to your hearing aids. I have
not tried it yet - so I cannot say anything about how it performs. The price
is 3000 DKK around 450 EUR.
