I would guess that you would have to use a noise cancelling headset maybe just a shooters headset and a mike separate from the aids.

Dan,
Good Call.
No reason not to use a normal aviation headset, quieter the better.
For the Bluetooth connection....not 100% sure. I also called PS Engineering tech support after your post and talked to Greg. (nice guy BTW).
They know we can connect to the hearing aids through our dongles. Meaning
for Resound Aids(are actually BT) that use IPhone App for their connection and my Bernafon Aid(not BT) with a Soundgate dongle.
They are not 100% sure their streamer will connect directly (pair) with the aids and bypass the dongle. Bypassing the dongle would be great as it would remove another unit out of the mix and another battery. This at least appears possible with the Resound Aids because they are actually BT. Issue is whether the Resound aid and the PS Streamer will "discover" each other(pair). They need someone to try this for them. Or maybe I will call Resound tech support...
I know this is pretty technical and not very easy to follow unless you have hearing aids that connect to something.
The good news is they are talking about it and trying to figure it out. Even to a point of offering to send demo units out to try.
So kudos to PS Engineering for addressing this issue for us hearing impaired!
