I struggle with hearing loss and tinitus. some age related and some brought on with an infection.

Wearing a headset and trying to listen to a show and block out people talking in the tuck shop behind me is awful.

I dont have BT equipped HAs, but might enquire if I can get an upgrade next assessment.

Having only just become aware of bone conduction headphones, I bought this.

Which magically pairs with my cheap bone conduction headphones.

I havent really checked battery life out yet, but with a bit more experimentation its a possible solution.

 

I've ordered one but there is a delay. In the mean time I've been lent one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284876313379 and just as described it magically connects with my Phonak HA at power-up, unlike the other device I have. It has a noticable latency but not silly. I haven't tried it with the Bluecom yet but I'll wait for the Amazon unit to arrive as that will be ready to use.

The Bluecom system was designed with a push-pull headphone amp and can be cranked up to a higher level than a standard Comms beltpack.

Perhaps if Ninjadingle had written ‘when first powered up’, it would have underlined the method. With your device in pairing mode try opening the HA door(s) and closing. This works with my Phonak Nova
