| Can anyone recommend a bluetooth headset for someone who has hearing
problems?
A relative finds they cannot hear with the current headsets on the
market.
Please respond to the group rather than to email.
Thanks,
Graham

Can you describe what they have the problem with? Background noise, or
something else?

I have about 20% hearing in my left ear (burst eardrum) and I get on fine
with a Jabra BT250V. The "gel" earpiece things form a seal in the outer
ear and channel the sound nicely.

Everything sounds very quiet to them.

I've been looking into getting a headset, an from what I've learnt it is
best to try them on, and see if they fit. A common problem is that they
don't go close enough to the ear, so the user has to hold it against
their head to hear it at a decent volume - this is obviously no good as
they're suppose to be 'hands free'

I have three or four headsets of my own, one of them that is probably a
good bet is the Jabra BT200 or BT250, these have an ear gel that sits
into the outer part of the ear canal and so provides a better seal and
is louder for that reason.
Most other units I've seen sit over the ear, one that is a bit of a
halfway house is the Bluetrek G2, it has a shaped rubber earpiece that
sits closer into the ear (not as much as the Jabra though) and weighs
only 12g too. It can be set to be quite loud.
HTH.
