[blindLaw] Bone conduction & open-ear headphones

[Abdulrahman Bagais]

Hi everyone,

As a totally blind person, I use in-ear headphones every day for long hours in the office, which has been very annoying since that causes issues for my ears, namely the prolonged usage caused more earwax and consequently my ears get blocked regularly. I’m thinking now of shifting to bone conduction or open-air headphones, but not sure how efficient they would be when I pair them with my laptop through Bluetooth, as I think there is usually some delay with the sound of the screen reader when using Bluetooth headphones.

If anyone has tried bone conduction headphones with the screen reader, would be grateful for any information about how good its connection with laptops. And what types would you recommend?

Best Regards,
Abdul
