Preferably a combination of expanding ear > plugs and some wrap around headgear She has tried earplugs + earmuffs, no joy Also, most people will find that you get used to a constant noise. She's tried music and white noise (one of those "subliminal message" *** tapes with the waves and the seagulls") to try and block it out Unfortunately that wasn't a complete success because the only tape she could find was a New Agey one with a choir and other distractions. I could make a white noise CD or mp3 though, that hadn't occurred to me until now > How far away from the antenna must she get to lose the audio ? Good question. Don't know. Poor answer Having another chat with her tomorrow *** not the "You will hear an irritating and inescapable tone" one ;-) -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
