Hi Peter
I have a set of Yamaha speakers connected to my computer. Only 5 watts but
powerful enough to blast me out of my chair and have the neighbours pounding
the door. They have a volume and also a tone control and a jack socket for a
headphone or induction loop to be plugged in. About £26 so not the most
expensive in the world but the best of many I've tried out.

My friend has a similar problem. She has a severe hearing impairment and
uses headphones most of the time whilst on her computer. She tried one of
these devices thinking it would be preferable to headphones but theoutput
from the soundcard wasn't sufficient. Some computer speakers have a
headphones outlet on the speaker that houses the amplifyer so she is
looking for a pair of these as the ones she currently uses doesn't have
such a facility.
Hope you manage to sort it out.

Hi Peter
That's what I do use but I didn't go into details as most people, me
included, don't understand too well how they work. So it's easier to
refer to them as headphones. But my understanding is they will not
increase the sound beyond that put out by the book reader without an
amplifier or other means of sound booster.

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
