Hearing aide and headsets what is a good match?

[Blueadventures]

I was speaking with a flying friend on Friday and he mentioned that he has a new set of hearing aides and his Bose 10 headsets are uncomfortable noise level wise.  

 

Are there any head set types that are better or easier to adjust for hearing aides?  (I don't have hearing aides so don't know myself.)

 

Any experiences and advice welcomed.

 

I told my friend about this group and suggested he join it and ask the question.  I'm just asking in advance for him.

I have a " remote " for my stereo ear-aids .

But while flying ( training ) I never used them as the headset squeezed them into my skull .

Always a bit suspicious about asking for a friend - just joking.

 

My guess is that much will depend on the type of hearing loss. If it's just a volume thing, it's likly that the headset can be turned up to make good any loss of hearing.

 

My David Clark headset has left/right volume control, so I tend to turn my transponder volume to full and then  reduce that to what I find comfortable on the headset.

It doesn't help ( volume increases ) for the many sufferer's of.

" industrial deafness ".  Only three frequencies  damaged ( by adjacent machinery ) that stops Me hearing ' parts ' of words , with the quiet sound .

The louder the sound , the more problematic it becomes .
