VHF hands free headsets

Greetings all:

Does anyone know of hands free headsets for VHF radios on the less expensive
side of aviation ones? My hearing, or lack thereof combined with the lack of
radio talking skills of the US Coast Guard have made understanding
transmissions difficult. About the only intelligible speech from the CG
alerts are the words Coast Guard and Pan Pan at least in the Puget Sound
area. It would be nice to know what the hazards are.

I am assuming that without boat noise I will be able to better understand
what is being said with a headset.

Thank you

Woody
