John,

When you say you hear the mechanics of headphones, I don't understand. Our company makes the finest in-ear monitor headphones that money can buy, with up to 5 balanced armature drivers in a 3-way cross-over, for each ear. Their sound is glorious.

There is nothing in them that would make a click on it's own.

I've used both STAX and Sennheiser circumaural electrostatic headphones, which work on capacitance mechanism - again, nothing that would make a click on it's own.

And then there is all the dynamic driver headphones available - nothing there that would make a click.

Are your hearing aids not working right now? Also, do you have custom earmolds for the hearing aids? I do know people that have just the dome-tip earpieces that go back to their audiologist and get custom earmolds made and it makes a world of difference for some folks.

Also, I would take Ian Fraser's advice and go visit Marshall Chasin in Toronto. That guy knows more than any other on hearing loss as it pertains to musicians.

Tell him Scott Lake sent you. I wrote an article for him for the Canadian Hearing Review back several months ago.
