If you’re wearing hearing aids, then you NEED great speakers…
Only those of us who have to wear hearing aids can identify with the header statement above. There are very few things more frustrating than not being able to decipher what is being said to you when you are listening to a 2-way radio communication directed at you. What do you say? How do you respond? Maybe you couldn’t even hear if it was a question or a statement that came over the radio? I heard a communication come over a radio this morning (thankfully it wasn’t for me) and I couldn’t tell anything about what was said. It just sounded horrible coming over the speaker system! This is where the rubber meets the road, so to speak. If your speakers are not good enough quality, the sound output will be garbled at best and you will struggle to understand what was said (even those of you who can hear good!). Marine speakers are available and have a great sound quality! Why not make use of them? They’re affordable, waterproof, and easy to install. The fact that they are so durable makes them very versatile. Use them just about anywhere since weather isn’t a factor (on your boat, pontoon, patio, back yard, etc). …and enjoy… Happy Boater.
