Looking for a lightweight simple headset to use with hearing aids when traveling with guide using an audio box. What models seem to work best?
Hi there -
While you're waiting for responses from firsthand hearing-aid users, these previous threads on the same subject may provide a useful browse.

There are many other similar headsets available on Amazon. Sometimes the tour guide has headsets like this available, but I don’t count on that.
I actually take one hearing aid out, put it in a safe place, and use this (which I find more comfortable in any case than the ones that go inside my ear). I find that by adjusting the volume I can hear just fine. But it can also hang over the ear and hearing aid.
Try using a bluetooth adapter, if your hearing aids are bluetooth compatible. Airfly is one brand, but there are others.
Check with your hearing aid brand to see if your hearing aids will connect with Airfly to connect with the Whisper systems. Even though my Oticon hearing aids will Bluetooth connect with my phone and my IPad, they will not sync with Airfly, something about low frequency. It’s unfortunate because it’s so much easier than using a headset. Hopefully yours do.
