RF Hearing Aids
 

Ok being an old Artilleryman myself....I'm getting new hearing aids from the
VA tomorrow. They are called Cross hearing aids and it consists of a
transmitter...a reciever and a single AF amplifier.....Being deaf in my
right ear the hearing aid in that side picks up sound and transmits it to my
left ear on 1.8 MHZ

Then both sides are amplified to the needed level by the left hearing
aid...Power output is so low that the range is only about a foot at best.


Wild eh?

I'll try to add a link or two with technical info soon.....So tell me
....will I be able to hear CW near 1.8 MHZ ?.....Will I hear static crashes
from nearby thunder storms?

Just wondering...

transmits it to my left ear on 1.8 MHZ

Does your right ear send good QSL cards?

Wild...I guess that is sort of an inverse stereo effect...grin.

I've used Canta 7 aids for about 3 years now and love 'em. What a
difference over the analog units they replaced.

Well I got em!

The transmitter is on 1.802 mhz verified by my Icom 718.

It was a pretty cool moment!..since I havent heard much for about 20 years
now....I really like em!...I'll try to get a buddy a couple miles away to
send me some CW tonight on "MY" Frequency! LOL

Holy Smokes!

I'm sitting here minding my own bizz and reading how these hearing aids are
AM...not FM on 1.8 mhz.....I'm listening to the local AM station on the
IC-718 when I notice static crashes on the radio....an incoming thunder
storm so I pull the plugs and antenna connector.

The static didnt stop....Its coming through the hearing aids! LOL
