If you struggle with using a mobile phone whilst wearing hearing aids you should consider the Nokia Neckloop
The new Nokia Bluetooth neckloop system can be used with ANY Bluetooth enabled mobile phone but must be used with hearing aids that have a telecoil loop programme (the T setting).
Main benefits are:
1. Binaural listening - hear the speakerĀ in both ears
2. The sound is transferred direct to the hearing aids
3. Total elimination of background noise
We can supply these but you may find them cheaper doing your own search.

I would like to encourage any hearing aid user to add a mobile phone adapter and a TV adapter to their kit. After years of struggling with the home phone and later mobile phone, I found that the Oticon Streamer for use with my ordinary cheap mobile phone and Epoq hearing aid transformed my communication. Previously an incoming mobile call in a noisy street was impossible to hear but with the Streamer, not only does the incoming sound go straight to the aid but the microphones picking up street noise are disabled during the call. The result is terrific, a totally functional conversation and no half-understood messages. I imagine the Nokia loop will offer similar benefits.
For years I used headphones to watch TV but there can be a feedback problem. The Oticon TV adapter is great with no lip sync delay as with ordinary Bluetooth adapters.
This comment sounds like a commercial puff but I have no commercial connection with Crystal hearing or John Lloyd. Dr A E Hanwell

Thank you Dr Hanwell. The new Phonak TV adaptor should match the Oticon Connectline. Watch out in September for the new Widex Bluetooth hearing aids too. I think they will offer great alternative solutions, but will also be available in true CIC sizes.
