Hi Andy Just looked on the Maplin site and found catalogue number MU66W for £12.99 which is the gizmo I have that works perfectly. The recorder you use is up to you. Mine is a cheapo that I got from Gizoo but there are many others on the market. I too have a hearing loss, in fact 96% on the left and 98% on the right and I manage this set up with no problems.

I don't want to pay hundreds of pound for loads of bells and whistles, just want a simple instantly recording device. Any suggestions? - Andy
