[QUOTE="Deepseeker, post: 572971, member: 13321"] I don't know anything about the SDC sorry Teemore, but I do have some degree of industrial deafness according to tests many years ago (and from memory one ear is worse than the other in a certain frequency range). I run a 5000 with headphones and an sP01, and have never used an external speaker simply because with the Sunray Pro Gold headphones there is a volume adjustment on each cup, and I find just like playing with the balance on a stereo system I can adjust them until I can hear the sound like it's directly above the middle of my head. Combined with the choice of 3 settings on the sP01, it's like my hearing is normal again. I don't know if you run headphones on an SDC or not, but if you have any form of industrial deafness I think you'd have to go headphones. I say this because before I had my ears checked, if I was in a room and people were talking or it was noisy etc., if a particular person was talking to me I couldn't discriminate and home in on what they were saying. All I could hear was a garbled mess from everything. Take that to the goldfields with trees, the wind, birds, leaves crunching underfoot etc., I'm convinced the only way to clean up the garbled mess is to wear a good pair of headphones to block out external noises, and filter the sound from the coil through an sP01. -Just my two bobs worth -D.S. P.S. Mrs D.S is always saying I'm as deaf as a post too, although that may be a case of selective hearing O:) [/QUOTE]
