Julie, thanks for the info. I'm so stupid that I don't understand why the reach can be extended by adding a cord if it's already hardwired to a mic. I'm not buying anything right now, as my supply of hormones that would help me achieve a remission from the return of Meniere's are due to run out in two weeks. Because my primary doc refuses to refill the Rx, that may be the end for me. As it is, the level prescribed isn't quite enough to get a remission, let alone allow me to taper down slowly. So, big struggle right now is to find a way to get another Rx; everything else is small taters right now.
