------------------
I have been asked by many students that they want to clean the headset
betweeen uses.  I asked a doctor and he told me to use those antiseptic
towelettes to clean the headset between uses.  We don't clean
themourselves but we have them at the front desk when students come in.
And if we see someone coughing all over the desk we also give them a
towelette to clean the set after they leave.  I must say that I don't
know how effective it is in terms of hygiene. We offer it mostly because
so many people have asked for it.

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
