Yes it hurts.  It has been virtually complete for the past 3 years while I contemplated my increasing hearing loss.  It is now such that I can no longer understand many radio transmissions.  Therefore, it is reluctantly for sale. 



N96V is an XS mono with Airmaster prop, jabiru 120 hp, and comes with trailer, ap, radios, coupled gps, and much more.  Asking $49,000 or BO.  Located Ellensburg WA    Email me for photos and a long list of extras.  96victor(at)gmail.com (96victor(at)gmail.com)

Surely  there is Technological fix that would allow you to keep flying. Like one of  those BOSE or ZULU  ANR headsets to cut out

 virtually all background noise and turn the radio way up so you can hear  it clearly. Sure they are not cheap but if it lets you keep

 flying, assuming you want to, it could be worth a  look.

Tom,

 Really sorry to hear that you are selling  N96V.  I know that it must hurt since you never even got a chance to fly  it.

 Regards,

 Dale Hetrick

Believe me I have tried everything available during the 3 years that I have been concerned about this.  It is not just about volume of sound.  Thanks for your thoughts.

Tom

Hi! Tom  

So sorry that you have to split out from your bird. Have you done hearing tests using the Bose Noise attenuated head sets? I haven’t brilliant hearing but the Jabiru emits a really crap radio noise which I found impossible to shut out, so Ivor Phillips and I flew thousands of miles with the damn squelch button lifted . Now I have (at great expense) the Bose head sets and generally it is noise free.  

Obviously you will have had tests in other aircraft before making this momentous decision?  

Best regards

I have got to add my 2 cents (I am eagerly raising my hand too). Some aircraft do not have a radio, and are flyable with non-radio practices. Maybe this is a consideration, as well?

Tom,

 Twice a year I pass a medical and my doctor says:  we are not there to take away your licence. Today there are a lot of medical  cares who make it possible that you continue to fly. By the way I am deaf

Hi Karel



Thanks for the note.

How do you fly into controlled airspace and to fields with towers?

Tom

Tom,

 The mail was not completed and I don't know why it  went away from my screen. So I mailed that I am deaf.... for 30%. I use the  Sennheiser ANR headsets  and the volume for the radio is rather hard for  normal ears. Sometimes, and especially womens voices, are nearly heard but then  I ask to repeat until I receive the answer in for me understandable volume.  Don't be afraid; they will not kick you out of the air.

 Best regards,

 Karel Vranken.

 Do you use hearing aids to pep up only the  frequencies that you need? You may be able to use less volume.

The hearing aids I use are fitted to enhance

frequencies at and near the dead cells.

Bob,

 No, I have the impression that there is an  interference between the hearing aids and the ANR of the headsets. Still hoping  that one day use of both might be possible.

Hi Karel



I have a light-speed ANR headset and it works well with my hearing aids and does not have feed-back like my other David Clark headsets do.
