@jaema What kind of headphones worked so well for you ... ? Have you told your ear doctor how well they work.? There are a lot of different ways that headphones work but essentially they amplify a modulated electric signal to sound. You say that your cochlear is in good shape,... What have doctors and test shown that is NOT in good shape ?.... Ear Drum? Middle Ear (little bones)?

I use Jabra Move Wireless Bluetooth Headphones and I haven't told my ear doctor because I'm not sure how that falls into his scope of practice in working with me. I do believe that my audiologist is aware, however, but I could mention it to her again. My hearing loss stems from my hearing bones not working all that well. I think that I might have this area covered (as in technological options) because I have a hearing consultant who I believe is ready to help me once I have need for accommodations in a workplace setting. My main interest is in learning about the varying ways people have managed to function well, and advance, in their careers when they could not hear or understand what was being said around them. These stories have been helpful for me to read. 😊

Also, I think that there is an unanswered question from you somewhere in this forum; however, I'm still trying to find a way to use this forum in a way that makes any sense to me. I certainly haven't found it easy to use so far. I just cannot find questions and replies without taking too much time out of my day to search around for each one. I'd like to honor your question though so I'll pop back in again later and do another search for it. Thanks again, Ken!
