Bluetooth for Hearing Aid Wearer

gdseric · #1 12-12-2006, 02:16 AM

Opinions needed!

Does anyone have a recommendation on what kind of bluetooth headset to buy if I wear in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids? I cannot use a headset that has anything that is inserted into the ear as I have to wear the headset while wearing my hearing aids.

Thanks in advance...

Is this for in car use or walking around. Incar I have a Parrot Bluetooth system which very easily intergrates into the car stereo. Search online for Parrot Hands Free. As for a non-invasive headsets have a look at this product although I can't make any recommendations about it:

Try these. I have not tried them but they seem nice.

Motorola HT820 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones - Specifications - Motorola US

Also I remember seeing someone that had a regular wired headset and had a loop on the other end that went around your neck. The device would transmit to the ITE device. I have no idea where to get that tho. Thanx

I haven't seen these before...I'll have to try them. I've tried the Jabra and the Anycom stereo BT headphones...the Anycom pair sucketh royally and the Jabra were an awkward fit and kept pushing the program buttons on my hearing aids and changing programs.

These look like the "earpieces" are more of a cup style and may work better.

Also, I have tried the induction loop (around the neck solution) and it works great if you're in a quiet place but in the car or outside is a real pain. The background noise overwhelms the folks I am talking to.

Thanks for the suggestions...I appreciate them!!

I ordered the Motorola stereo headset and am awaiting delivery from an eBay seller...wish I had seen the music adapter. I'll have to snoop for that one! Thanks again!
