Hi: There's a rocker switch to the right of the power button, when the
headset is held as if you were wearing it.

the Bluez2 please? I thought it was all controlled from the mobile.

With both the phone and headset levels at 100% I find it a little
loud, even on my local high street, which more resembles a bus
garage. I wear hearing aids, which probably makes things worse by
increasing the ambient noise.

I would have thought poor hearing would make bone conducting
headphones work better?
