Index Number: 9135 I wonder if anybody has any suggestions. I know somebody who refuses to wear any sort of hearing aid, but hears less and less as time goes on. He has a job as a secretary to a board and has to take accurate minutes. This is clearly a problem when he mis-hears something. The question is if there is a tape recorder/microphone combination that could help. The characteristics that I would see would be voice actuation, minimal inteference from non-voice sounds and high sensitivity. Lowish cost would be nice. I am pretty sure that the perfect box to the above specs does not exist, however, I would like to know of anything that is close in some regards - though perhaps not so good in others. Peter Brooks
