[Trainer-Talk] Headphone recommendations

[Kathryn Bottner]

Hi Bonnie,
I also wear hearing aids, and I have the After shocks bluetooh headphones,
they go around the ear, instead of in the ear. I got them in 2018, so they
are the older model than what is out now. I am able to wear the apple ear
pods with my hearing aids,I know they are the corded version of what is out
now, but they work for me at least. I hope this information is helpful.
Thanks,
Kat

Hello,

I am working with someone who wears hearing aids with a mild hearing loss.
She needs to use headphones for listening to her computer and for her iPhone
at times. I have a pear of old Bose that are corded and I use them on my
computer and attach a lightening adapter with Velcro so I can use my phone
as well. They are big headphones and do not seem to annoy hearing aids on
the back of the ears. I also have some older bone conduction headphones but
I don't like them too much if I have to turn the volume up because they
vibrate on my temples. So, any ideas of headphones or the bone conduction
type that don't cause the back of the ears to hurt?

Thanks for your thoughts.
