Hello, 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
		 
		
	
	
	I am 27 years old and am hard-of-hearing. I recently passed the hearing portion for a third-class medical (barely), but I think I may have gotten more lucky than not. The AME I had did the old "tone" test where you raise your hand whenever you hear a certain tone in the headset. I seem to do OK with that, hwoever, the problem is with HIGH FREQUENCIES...I have a hard time with speech discernment. With that said, is there a certain headset on the market that helps people with my condition? I have had it recommended to me to look for headsets that have Enhanced Voice Intelligibility (EVI) to help with speech. An example is: http://pilot-usa.com/ . Anyone have any experience with them? Is it really a fake enhancement (such as those phones that merely just increase speech volume). It's not more volume I need, it's clearer and enhanced speech intelligibility. Thanks for any advice or tips you can provide. I'm going to start flight training next month in a taildragger (I hope to buy a CUB) and I am so excited!  |
