Yes.
granted, its one reason why I am seeking a headset.
Without warning I had to use the system microphone, not hearing myself, on 
top of adjusting the  incoming audio for each speaker.  it was profoundly 
disconcerting, something I do not wish to repeat.
My standard zoom calls do not involve zoom, or a computer at all..best 
case my  landline Which i do not have access at the moment.
or my old lg flip phone, which those running this meeting  do not allow.

However, this is not about the machine.  This is bout how the fluctuating 
neural pattern of my brain can safely manage frequencies, with that 
function  constantly in flux.
I have zero experience exploring that with a USB headset, and absolutely 
do not   want to trigger  a episode.
Mercy I was using zoom for a hearing once and the various combination of 
sound input caused this..  I was dizzy for days.
Not worth experimenting speaking personally, when I can stick with what 
works.
Towards that end, let me ask the entire question differently.
Older model wired Jvc headphones, or even sony, with a mic?
No bluetooth,   just the sort before wireless became the rave.
will even make an ebay buy just to get something workable for the few 
times this will be needed.
..And people wonder why I sometimes feel this body is a great deal of 
trouble laughs.
