Has anyone mentioned hearing aids?
I don’t know much about them except that some people use them.

Use telepathy. It’s not real just like your sailing.

Used to be very good sitting outside at The Folly Inn, beer in hand watching boats tying up to the piles.
We tried to arrive when no one was sitting outside !

Rubbish. We bought two recommended to us but useless in anything over 10 knots.

I imagine they need to be ones designed for outside use - mic windshield and enough volume in the lug hole department.

Any you would recommend? I’ve not found any that are free and not dedicated to a particular headset. I may be searching for the wrong thing. We have aftershock bone conduction headset which work well - but so far only via phone call.
You need to both be facing the right way at the right time. And if your hands are busy eg trying to hook a bouy you can’t do them. Or if there’s traffic/plotters/depth sounds to watch the helm might miss something.
I worried the same but actually because you don’t even need to speak loudly it’s a calmer experience whichever end you are. As there is always a time lag between a request and the action being apparent the two way dialogue avoids stuff getting repeated with more emphasis (ie yelled). The only time we’ve shouted was when the wind noise was deafening (it was gusting 30 knots) but putting hood up sorted that.

They are. Sena SPH10s at £300 for two. Any wind up on the bow, almost impossible to hear each other with wind noise overpowering.

We have a pair similar to these.
Wind noise hasn’t been a problem. Mrs M has a safety cord on hers as she worries it will fall off into the sea when she bends over to put the chain hook on etc.
We have lots of chat as we approach the anchorage. ‘Did you see that boat with six girls and one young man…? He looked a bit tired. Etc.’
On a more serious note we think they’re brilliant. A complete game changer.

On one coaster the skipper invited his old friends in the summer months to crew.The Brigader treated every mooringup event as a military planning excessive whilstGerry the fourth hand was very deaf.I would stand on the focus and instruct the brigadier as to possible scenarios ,fender wise he in turn bellowed at Gerry the instructions ……all great fun
