Headset


I am 76 years old and wear hearing aids.  Without the hearing aids I am truly 100% deaf.  Can't hear a thing.  Well, I decided I wanted a headset I could wear over my hearing aids to help me hear my Tidradio H3 better.

Trouble was I didn't know what to search for.  The TD-H3 and also my Wouxun KG-8D plus have a weird two prong plug.  I didn't know the name of it.  So, I posed a question on one of the TD-H3 Facebook groups and several people came to my aid.  Turns out the plug is known as a Kenwood.  One helpful respondent even provided me with a link to the Retevis Overhead Noise Reduction Walkie Talkie Headset 2 Pin with Boom Mic.  I immediately ordered it for a mere $20 from Amazon.  I really, REALLY like being able to use the headset.  It directs the audio straight to the hearing aids.  It's marvelous and a real game changer.

The headset comes with an inline PPT button and microphone. Photo shows the Kenwood two prong plug.

Very ample-sized ear muffs!
Of course, I had to find a special carrying bag for the headset.  Luckily, all my other HT stuff fits, too.
