Like many of us of a certain age, I have started wearing hearing aids
(actually I first tried one 20 years ago but since my hearing on one ear
was still pretty good at the time I gave up on it soon after). Now I
have issues in both ears and am essentially deaf in one so I got aids
with CROS technology to feed sound from both sides to my better ear.
Because of the technology involved in this, I was unable to get
bluetooth capability in my hearing aid and have an adapter which
receives bluetooth and I have been told that it sends it to the aids
with a very low power 10.6 MHz signal. This works quite well but
ordinary headphones aren't very comfortable when wearing the hearing
aids and I would prefer to not have to remove them when operating. I
have been thinking about getting a bluetooth transmitter to connect to
my K3S instead of using my headphones. However, I suspect that latency
may be an issue and there might be an unacceptable delay between the
keying input and the sidetone received by the hearing aids. I N7XY'm
also concerned that RF (especially on 30 meters) might saturate the 10.6
MHz receiver inside the hearing aid.
Has anyone been able to use a bluetooth connection (such as bluetooth
headphones) successfully on CW?
73, Bob N7XY
