Headphones for Hearing Aid Users

For those individuals that experience hearing loss and wear a hearing aid it is always exciting to find an alternative to conventional items that may no longer be comfortable or even useful when hearing aids are worn. We have found two styles of headphones that you can now wear with your hearing aids when listening to your music player. The Music Link is an improvement from the older neck loop design and provides a comfortable fit around the ear. It can be used with your PC, iPod, MP3 or CD Player or any audio device with a standard (3-connector, 2-ring) 3.5mm headphone socket. It also provides stereo sound and offers binaural users left and right channel stereo sound separation. A second alternative we found was the Bose Quiet Comfort 2 a noise-cancelling headphone that fits over the entire ear and provides surround sound to the user. This headphone is not designed specifically for hearing aid users however it is a great piece of equipment if the Music Link doesn’t work with your music player.
