O really you can turn it OFF!

Telex headsets are as annoying as hell in the 145 for the other pilot.
PLEASE Make sure you know how to turn off the hot mike.

There's a gain adjustment screw in the mic. If you plug it into the jumpseat panel...you can hear the background noise (it's awful with the factory setting) and adjust the screw accordingly. After I did that, I've had no complaints from anyone.

I wear earplugs because the chimes and altitude alerter are extremely loud. Otherwise, the ANR works just fine. No batteries to worry about and the ANR absolutely does work with the hot mic shut off.
