Nether headset does the job. I have tried all kinds of foam ear plugs, ear buds, etc. under these and nothing worked very. A few years ago I purchased a set of Bose QC 20 ear buds that I wear under my heads sets and they are wonderful. I plug the Bose ear buds into my intercom via a adapter instead of my headsets. I use the headset microphone. I can fly for hours and my ears aren't ringing from the flight noise. I normally fly with both noise canceling systems turned on. I will fly without the Sigtronics noise canceling kit operating but never without the Bose canceling. I use the Bose ear buds for lots of other things also. When I was stuck on a long commercial flight next to a screaming child, I just sat there smiling.

I called the manufacturer and they told me how to decrease the Mike gain it made a ton of difference... They came at 100 percent, I turned them all the way down... With my hearing the way it is now, I may need to turn it up 5 percent then see the difference.

His plane is really nice with a great paint job, so he has a "repaint" fund to repair all the damage that he is going to do to it while he is here. We were intending to go to some of the places that we wanted to visit and he, on to get some Spam can fuel, but we both decided that the smoke was just too heavy to enjoy a flight, so we came back here to the Rockhouse. I decided that I would video his landing so that his friends back home would have something to make fun of him over. All of which I might add, probably do not have even a little bit of adventure or the ability to laugh at themselves that Ken has. Apparently the Kolb experience prepares one for adventures such as these.
