    Hello, all.  Every time a headphone hygiene issue comes up on the list,
I utter the same prayer:

Dear Lord, would that Ed Dente is not on the list today.  Keep him busy and
occupied, doing the good deeds.  Idle hands are the devil's work.

    For those of you new to the list, Ed has an amazing IALLT historical
reputation relative to headsets, ears...and parasites...it haunts my sleep
to this day!

Hello.
We use Plantronics headsets in our lab.   The earphone foam covers =
are not
removeable and I'd like to make them more hygienic.  Elasticised =
fabric
covers would be great (like the little plastic bowl covers you use =
for
covering leftovers, only made of fabric)   Do they exist?  Any =
ideas on
other options?   I sew myself but the idea of sewing fifty... no =
ONE
HUNDRED coverlets is not my idea of a fun sewing project.  Any =
ideas
appreciated.
Joseph
