Headset for Telephone

[jen78]

I am borderline nearing hearing assistance but have escaped for now but have some problems with hearing people on the phone at work.

As it's a big part of my job am considering getting some kind of headset which makes the sound clearer for me and maybe helps block out surrounding noise to make it easier to hear.

Does anyone know where I can get a good by reasonably priced one?

Have you contacted Access to Work - I don't know if they could offer advice?

Was going to suggest what Cider Monkey has said. However, your employer has a duty of care to prove you with the assistance you need. You don't have to pay for it yourself. Speak to your HR department who should liaise on your behalf with Access to Work.

My Dad is deaf as a post and I lent him my �BT converse 1200� phone because it�s got an amplifier built in, you can adjust the volume on it and use it as a normal phone (but louder!) or attach a headset if required and switch between the two.
It doesn�t always get the best reviews, there�s one made by Geemark (I think) that gets better write ups but he couldn�t get on with that one.

If it�s for work I�d check with your techies that you can just plug in a normal �phone, I don�t think they work if you�re on a switchboard?! :-S
