Doo you use hearing aids? If so, you can get a portable induction loop
which will plug into devices like what you are talking about.

Hi All
This may not be strictly an access issue so I beg the indulgence of the moderator. As a lot of you may know I have a very severe hearing loss and listen to
the Talking Books with the aid of a variety of high tech devices. I won't go
into them suffice to say they are on the lines of a variation on
headphones. My problem is using these cuts the volume output of my Victor
Reader considerably. This is not normally a problem but when I get a cold it
_always reduces my hearing ability making it below the level of the Victor's
output causing me to stop reading until the cold is gone. The colds season
is not too far away now and I have given finding a solution considerable
thought. I have decided, rightly or wrongly, a solution would be to plug a
small amplifier into the headphone socket of the Reader and then to plug my
headphones into the amplifier thus increasing the level of output.
I have visited the Maplin site, mainly because I have a branch close by at http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?criteria=amplifiers&doy=10m9&source=15
and I have searched for their stock. The choice is bewildering which is where my problem comes
in. I have not a lot of knowledge on sound matters as it's not a field I've
dabbled into very much
I list 3 I've picked out which I feel may serve my purposes and would be most appreciative of any comments or advice,
A93FY, N66AW, N67AW
There is a long list of amplifiers on the site and these are just three I've
picked out which may be totally wrong so I stand ready to be corrected.
Any of you hi-fi buffs out there who can advise me will be greatly appreciated.
Roger
Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
