Headsets for MTs w/hearing loss

Anyone out there have any hearing loss? I have developed significant hearing loss. My ENT has encouraged me to keep transcribing, with the use of a boosted headset and I am trying. Telephone use is very difficult and almost non-existent. Boosters do not help. Also diagnosed recently with RA and having difficulty with my fingers, but not letting it get me down. I am on treatment that is working well. Just wondered if anyone else is having any of these issues and how they are dealing with them. Th ...

I transcribe and edit what I actually do hear, but get QA feedback from another planet. I am not a newbie MT, though new on my current account. I figure they must use secret magical headsets to hear what they do. Often QA isn't even on the same page with each other even on account specs. So, it must be the magical headsets. Does anyone know where I can get the kind QA uses? ...

I have been transcribing and editing for over 11 years and have ALWAYS used Spectra headsets, but having recently switched jobs where their platform could only be downloaded onto my personal computer and not my work computer, I've found that I'm not getting enough volume with the Spectras.

Does anyone know where to get GOOD quality ones? I've been suckered TWICE by buying them online---they are these little thin things that break every single time before I can get them over the ear piece. The only ones I've found so far that are good are the ones that come with the headset, but I don't want to buy a new headset every time I just need new pads. I'd be so appreciative for advice on where to get good quality ones. TIA!!! ...

why at the end of every shift do I still bother to calculate my line totals - transcription & VR - when 9 out of 10 times I am only discouraged??? Its not my lack of skill, knowledge , speed or anything I have done that determines this loss. Why, oh why, do I hang in there. Maybe for the occasional good day? The high I get when I can fly through a report of an ESL doctor, because I know better what he is trying to say? Or maybe its the constant editing with ...

Okay, I may be dense, the rest of you may have figured this out long ago! Many times I see comments here about people who cannot get enough work. Well, at my company, if there is a low volume of work and you cannot meet your line count you are placed on part-time status and cannot regain full-time status until you have met your commitment for 90 days. Yes, you lose your benefits....your health insurance, paid holidays, dental/vision, etc. Well, heck, look at the money the ...

Hello, this may be an unusual question, but I have been transcribing for about 3 months now, after completing 12 months at Career Step. I've been noticing over the last week that my hands are looking almost like skeleton hands. It's like the fat is disappearing and the bones are becoming more prominent. Also, the veins in my hands are becoming very, very vascular. They are about the diameter of a drinking straw. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this common with excessive typing? I ...

Just wondering about this. For one company that I work for, I had a secondary account -- a hospital, that we were told (e-mailed) we would no longer be typing/editing. The voice recognition program was getting better all the time and probably was pretty good at this point. We were just told that we would no longer by doing work for them. So 2 possibilities: 1) The hospital was not happy with our editing? 2) The voice recognition program had gotten so g ...

Just recently discovered Softscript lost an amazing production manager. I have worked under a lot of production managers and by far this was one of the best; knowledgeable, helpful, understanding, easy to work with, but at the same time was straight forward and honest in their approach with the group.
