<div>Sorry I don’t have an answer to your question, but it
reminds me of a question that might {somewhat} relate. I
have a female performer that can’t wear the headset
mikes that the guys wear, so I have to put her on a lav.
The reason is her head is too small. I can’t adjust the
headset small enough to fit her. Has anyone else run
into this? Any similar problems with intercom headsets?</div>

Similar problems. I wear glasses, and have a large hat size. So
earmuff type headsets worn for long times leave me with sore spots
where the cushion presses the bows of the glasses into my skin.
Lightweight earsets are mostly designed to loop over the ear, where
the interference with the bows of my glasses leave me with sore
ears, knock my glasses askew, and dislodge the earset at
inconvenient times. <br>
<br>
I actually own an old plantronics air traffic control headset
where the electronics are in a small cube with a clip that nicely
hooks to my glasses, letting my ears just hold the usual burden of
my glasses. It works great with the old style telephone operators
plugs. (two bantam jacks parallel to each other) and has a latching
push to talk switch in a handy grip that is easy to hold in the hand
or attach to one's clothing. Unfortunately nobody uses the old
bell system operators headset anymore. I wish I could buy an
intercom beltpack that could interface to it. <br>
<br>
The other telephone headset I used that was most comfortable to
wear was a headset made by a hearing aid company called Starkey.
The headset was so light that it was entirely held up by you
sticking the custom molded earbud into your ear. It was so
comfortable that I would literally forget I had it on and it would
get yanked off my head as I walked away from my desk. I don't
have a job where I am on the phone all the time anymore, so that is
lost in my attic someplace also. I tried to find an interface to
use it with either a two way radio or intercom, but was defeated by
expense and complexity, as there was no market for that when I was
looking. I may try digging it out again and seeing if I can find a
solution now. <br>
