Hi Ibraham,
Thanks for your response, I use headphones mostly for spoken word although
music is also listened to on occasion.
I use a pair of AGK phones at the moment and as these are well padded they
don't interfere with my hearing aid connections but I tend to find that the
phone cables don't last long and that was why I mentioned wireless orBluetooth.
Are these not a possible alternative. I tried some bone conduction phones but
found them to be rather uncomfortable so ruled that type of phones out.
Regards.
Jim

Hi Jim
It depends what you want from your headphones. If you’re looking for
something that is for music rather than the spoken word content, a pair of
On-ear headphones might be a solution however you need to make sure that they
have padding around the ear cups as well as enough space between the body of
the speaker and the tube that connects your hearing aid to your ear dome.
Talking of domes, I recommend open fit if you’re planning to use headphones
because close fit will block the ear and prevent you getting optimal sound. If
you are open-minded about trying bone conduction headphones, I can certainly
recommend those as they will not interfere with your hearing aids in your ears
but rather rest on your cheekbones. Again though, open fit ear domes are a
must. I hope this helps and drop me a line privately if you want to learn more
about what are use and how are use it. Take care.

Hi Folks, apologies for cross posting.
I wear hearing aids and wondered if there were any suitable wireless
headphones for me to try out. I prefer the on-ear type and have wondered if
Blue tooth headphones might be the answer.
Suggestions and thoughts please.
