The Pocket Talker device can also be very helpful in noisy social environments, and when driving in the car. It's a base level device that can work with telecoils in hearing aids when used with a neckloop. They can also be used with ear buds or headphones.
Pocket Talkers are often available for use by patients in hospitals. Good piece of hearing assistive technology! I've found the Pocket Talker to be an eye opener when presenting or talking to people who have hearing loss but no hearing help.

A pocket talker is helpful when traveling and your hearing aids will not work or if in the hospital or you know someone in a nursing home with hearing loss. Also, log onto the Hearing Loss Association of America. I finally joined this organization after I retired. I am still a member. They have a convention every year that is worth attending and you will find many items including types of hearing aids for people with hearing loss or someone you know who has a hearing loss. Hearing loss is an invisible disability by Rocky Stone who started this organization in 1979, he was a CIA agent with hearing loss.
