Headphones for Hearing Aids


Hi, I wear behind the ear hearing devices and have been having challenges with my Senns 650s. I enjoy the sound, as well as the senns 600s. My problem is that they clamp so tight I'm getting a high amount of feedback and the aids themselves constantly adjusting to accommodate the sounds. How are you in similar circumstances dealing with similar issues? I had read in another thread about akg h701/2 that don't clamp against the ear seem to work well. Would like to continue with the Senns and looking for possible solutions, or alternative phones with a somewhat similar sound signature, $400 max. Also do on the ear phones have the same issues?Changing the hearing devices are not a possibility. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dave

Most hearing aids have the option of using different programs for different listening situations. You typically access the programs using a button on the hearing aids or with a remote. If yours have this option, ask your audiologist to setup a program optimized for headphone listening.

You can even take your headphones to the appointment so the program can be customized for them. It should be possible to eliminate feedback when wearing your headphones without requiring you to take out the hearing aids.
The automatic adjustments of most hearing aids can be disabled in a program designed specifically for listening to music. It could make a big difference. In any case, I wish you luck.
