Tried it with my earbuds with the collar-thing. Interesting. It says I
have 16% loss in one ear and 12% in the other, but I know it`s worse
than that. It doesn`t test low frequencies, but those really aren`t
important.

We tried one like that, but it really needs separate volume controls and
hooks over the ears to keep the buds from falling out. The collar-thing
is nice, but it would be better if there were also those soft
over-the-ear hooks that keep the buds in place.
