Lou,
    Basically a telecoil is nothing more than a coil with wire wound in 
varying numbers of turns.  If a speaker core has enough turns, it can induce 
enough signal for the hearing aid (cochlear implant in my case) to pick up 
that signal.  If your sister has the telecoil feature in her hearing aids, 
she can test this easily.

    So I guess that what would make a headset compatible would be the number 
of turns in the speaker core.  I already contacted Kenwood and their headset 
that works with my radio is not compatible.

    I just looked at the Heil Sound web site briefly and they have adapters, 
and tho I didnt look too hard, it makes me wonder of there isnt such a thing 
that might work.  If the speaker/mic connector is not standard then adapters 
surely must exist.

    I will look in the manual and see what the specs are.  Am going to the 
local club meeting Tuesday, maybe I will pose the question there too.

If it's zero degrees outside today and it's supposed to be twice as cold 
tomorrow, how cold is it going to be?
