> You may find it's not your hearing so much as the headset.
Lucien:
I wish that were the case.
My old headset is a DRE6000. It has a lot of hours on it, plus the rats cut
the power cord. Since it happened just prior to the holidays, was a good
time to ask Santa Claus for a new one.
My hearing has been bad since March 1966, from an incident in RVN. Was able
to get through flight school and fly for many years dispite my hearing loss,
but it is getting much worse, much sooner than I thought it would.
Thank God for ANR! Without it, I would be lost.

John, may I ask what RVN is?
I'm a musician myself and have a slight hearing loss due to exposure to lots of loud but foul noise. In particular, I don't recover from loud noises nearly as well or as quickly as I used to. Even a short flight in the FSII as I recall with the old headset would leave me hearing impaired for a couple of days.
On my last flight - short xcountry to taos and back to santa fe - even with the telex I noticed I was a little deef afterwards. I may start using earplugs even under the telex.....
If I build a firefly (still cranking on that plan) I'll have to be even more careful as that's an even higher frequency scream.....
