Hey All,
As I get older my high end hearing is leaving me. One of the more annoying places this is an issue is when troubleshooting continuity on a circuit. I used to rely on hearing the beep from my meter, but I can no longer hear it. I have purchased a few devices, namely a couple of bench top DMMs, as well as a couple of different handheld DMMs, to see if maybe one of them would have a better buzzer element. - no luck. I guess I could hack my older Fluke 45 bench top meter and take the output out to some LED device I could throw together, or to a small amp that would lower the pitch and increase the volume. But before I did all of that I was wondering if anyone out here has an answer. This has to be a problem that a lot of us codgers have experienced. My hearing loss is age related. I don't want to wear hearing aids, although I may get there regardless.
Anyway - let me know if you have any ideas? Love to hear from anyone else who has had this issue and dealt with it somehow.
Thanks in Advance
Joe
