Check with a good hearing aid dealer about headphones that are built into custom ear molds. I just did this and while the solution isn't cheap ($200), it's perfectly doable. Any good hearing aid dealer should be able to check with his/her suppliers to find out if any of them can provide these. Such earphones are used by on-air television and radio personalities, the Secret Service, etc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Barrett" <donter@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Bookport" <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 11:05 PM Subject: [bookport] in-ear headphones My apologies for covering old ground, but I need some really good in-the-ear headphones which will have excellent fidelity and really block out the surrounding sound. I am at the gym a lot with the bookport and the noisy atmosphere is making it hard to enjoy books using the buds I am currently using. Any advice is welcome. If you don't want to clutter the list, write me at donter@xxxxxxxxxxx although some new folks may be interested in this topic. I know some folks were using some in-ear models by Sennheiser but I have forgotten which ones. Thanks all. Don Barrett
