<<Don't know if this will help, but a musician just told me about  
some in
ear monitors (IEMs) that have built in microphones that can be switched
in or out from the beltpack... Might be worth investigating! The intent
is for stage performers to use in ear monitors and still get realistic
live sound controllable at will.>>

I've demoed these. They work quite well & definitely overcome the  
extreme sense of isolation which attends IEMs. They are a very  
expensive add-on to an already expensive ear monitor. With custom  
molded personalized earpieces the whole system approaches $2,000.
