Dear Janet and Ian
Thanks for the feedback.
I very much appreciate the advice. As an alternative to the after
shock headpones could anybody suggest perhaps a wired speaker with a
similar volume to the wired Trekker Breeze speaker? My worry about
bluetooth is that if the audio is routed to an external speaker then
needing to switch to quieter operation on say a bus or a train with
earpones would be fiddly. I have had not very good experience of trying
to route bluetooth signals through my hearing aids which I have given up
on for this reason. Presumably I would have to unpair the spekaer or
something like that. . A wired speaker would presumably just need to be
dpulled out for the phone audio to behave normally? Or perhaps someone
can disabuse me of this potential difficulty?
I have tried plugging the Trekker Breeze speaker into my iPhone but
unfortunately it will not work for some reason, only through the Trekker.

Hi Ian
as a person with hearing problems you are absolutely right. The other problem I had was they kept slipping off my hair so I have given up on them.

Hi David, I have no experience of using Aftershockz with hearing aids but my experience of them as a person with normal (ish) hearing would lead me to conclude that they would not be great for someone with any degree of hearing loss, particular in environments where there is a high level of ambient noise. For one thing they leave the ears open to that noise. for another they don’t crank up to a particularly high volume level.On 1 Nov 2015, at 23:50, David Griffith <daj.griffith@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
I wonder if anybody is able to give some feedback as to how loud Aftershock headphones are and whether they would be in any way suitable for someone with a hearing impairment.
I find using travel apps on my iPhone difficult at the moment as in noisy traffic environments I have to take a hearing aid out, and then insert an earphone into the phone in order to hear what is going on.
I can normally manage with the volume on an iPhone with normal earphones/headphones as long as they are not really quiet models and providing my phone is set at maximum volume.
It occurs to me that the conductive Aftershock model may suit me better as they do not involve taking hearing aids out, that is providing that they are not low volume and quiet.
