I see that more than 150 people have looked at my post, but no recommendations - Suzie

Posted: Apr 24, 2015

Dear Friends:

I see that more than 150 people looked at my message, but no recommendations as of yet. I hate be a bother, but can I get some recommendations for headphones for people who use hearing aids. Thanks so much.

Sincerely,

Suzie

Headphones - Hearing

[ In Reply To ..]
This is a new one on me. Didn't even know about headphones with hearing aids. Maybe call one of the on-line companies and talk to them; mine was in Chicago where I got my headphones - I may need the same thing; have had a plugged ear for two months now and can't hear good half the time. I see Bose makes them and they are probably really expensive.

Maybe none of the 150 - xx

people who looked at your post use hearing aids or have any information that would help you.

The mere posting of a question does not automatically entitle one to a response.

Google "headphones with hearing aid compatibility" - sm

I googled that and learned a lot about hearing aid compatible headsets.

I don't wear a hearing aid, so I have no personal experience with this. I have known MTs who used only one side of a headset, though, and I have done this on occasion myself. It needs to be a mono headset, not a stereo, like the original Lanier and Dictaphone. You do not actually need a stereo headset...the mono are fine.

I would ask your audiologist what you should do. They know, I am sure.

Sorry that I can't be more help, but I know little else about this.

I recently researched headsets, but ... - Linda

I bought the type that go in your ear. You probably need the ones that go over the ear like headphones, but lightweight. I remember seeing a couple like this. Amazon caries a lot of headsets and have reviews on most of them. You might try there. I also Googled "Transcription headset reviews" and found that helpful. Good luck.

I would recommend the BOSE over the ear head phones. One of the ladies that worked with me had hearing aids and because the cupped around her entire ear, she was able to hear quite very well with her hearing aids and no discomfort.

Dear Friends: I seem to have tiny ear canals and openings and because of that my Spectra headphones broke and now I would like recommendations about headphones would be good for me, with my small ear canals. Do you recommend the stethescope type headphones? I saw a brand on line on the Dictation Warehouse called Grundig Swingphone USB headset, has anyone heard of this brand and if so the pros and cons of this brand. I would like recommendations. Thanks. Fondly, Suzanne ...

Dear Friends: I seem to have small ear canals/openings and because of that my Spectra headsets broke because I have to push them in too far and they will not fit and now the copper wire disoldged and now I am looking to buy another pair. I went on the Dictation Warehouse site and talked to a rep there and he said that a good headset for people with small ear canals/openings is Grundig swing phone USB PC headset; have any of you heard of this bra ...

I just read an article yesterday on Huffington Post that because the Post Office is losing so much money they are gearing up to close hundreds of post offices around the country which will include up to 100,000 layoffs. I can't even wrap my mind around that number. Anyone who says we are not in a depression has their head in the sand. ...

I have noticed that sometimes my post audits in FIESA will have a blank added in there by QA for something that they feel is "unclear." They will take out whatever I have typed and blank it. I have not received error points for any of these things (so far). I guess it's just something that they couldn't make out as well as I could? I have exclusives, and I know them well, but they are good dictators and not hard to understand at all. For example, one sentence (which my doc ...

The original company I worked for was sold to a big company and I had loads of unanswered questions. I would call supervisor or someone who had been in contact with the peeps from my old company and ask away. Now I find out I have been labeled a troublemaker because I ask too many questions. I guess I would have been wiser to just come on this board and fire away with complaints, questions or anything else I wanted to know. I know my future is gone now where I am. &n ...

I sincerely doubt that the company big shots are reading the postings here, plus the anonymity wouldn't make your thank you mean much. I would think it more appropriate to send a handwritten thank you note, which is what I used to do when I worked for TransTech. I'm glad your comany sends you gifts. In this day and age, most of us are just lucky to have a job. Still, it kinda rubs it in to those of us who work for Scrooge companies who treat us like piece worker ...

Where to look now? I feel like I have looked everywhere possible. I applied to a place in Minnesota. They had told me, "After we review all of your tests (which I passed) and your application, along with your online interview, you will be contacted." I have not yet been contacted, and that was on 9/22. I have emailed them and everything, and they have not responded. I was thinking about calling them, but should I even bother? Also, I had advice from my mother ...

I decided to look how many hours left in PTO and it was deducted today because I used some PTO on this paycheck that should have been deposited in my account yesterday morning. I think that is good news? Payroll doing their job? Maybe it means paychecks should be in our accounts in pending mode which should be deposited first and then deductions taken out next. Otherwise, my direct deposit check would not show until the 12th which to me, is one day late. ...

in a few months. I get direct deposit and rarely check my pay stubs on line. I've been doing significantly more lines this month so I wanted to see exactly what I make per line on ASR. I went from 6.75 to .555!! What? I am SO upset and disappointed. Why didn't they tell me about this huge cut in pay? Here I was calculating my lines at the 6+ rate, only to see on my pay stub that I've been making substantially less per line. I feel sick! I am going to contact my supe, but I don ...

I mean, Nuance ins doesn't cover anything really. It's only in case of something catastrophic and then you'd better be able to pay $5000 out of pocket right? I mean we have to pay for everything until we hit $5000 just for the insurance to even start paying for anything. Right? Is Obamacare better than that? If it is, it's not affordable at all. ...

I have been at home working full time for about a year. I have been an MT longer, but I always had kept a job outside of the home also because I like interaction with other. I have found that I am starting to lose my people skills. Do others have this same problem? It is like I have forgotten how to really be able to hold a conversation with others. This is something that really bothers me as I have always loved customer service and working with people and main ...
