If Chris is about, (or anyone who knows), You recommended the above device on a previous thread I think and I see on this website;

it says it is for people who do NOT have a hearing aid already, does this mean it isn't powerful enough for someone who normally wears one and removes it when using these headphones?

I do know that there are similar devices for people WITH hearing aids, as long as the aid/aids have a "telecoil" setting. Instead of earpieces that go in the ears, there is a loop which simply hangs round your neck and the aids pick up the amplified sound....and they work very well. Better than removing/replacing aids all the time.

gigebee; Thanks, that looks like a neat answer, I guess tucked down the shirt, it would hardly be even visible?

Indeed, for hearing-aid wearers it's an ideal solution....lightweight and comfortable...as long as the aids have their telecoil setting enabled.
