Headphones with RIC

It might not be the simplest solution but since my HA’s are already paired with my phone, I usually join the audio portion of the call from my phone and the video portion from my computer. Almost every meeting platform has that option when you join a meeting. It works flawlessly for me every time.

To answer your question about headphones…I have used them but they have to be full over the ear headphones so the HA is also inside the cushion part to really work well. Most of the time you will only see those types for gaming headsets and they just don’t look right in a meeting. Also, I always struggle to get the volume right considering the HA’s also amplify the sound.

yep, the only solution
thanks

I have 3 of the Phonak TV Connector 2’s, compared to Roger devices, they aren’t expensive, I bought 2 second hand, the other was a freebe with a set of Marvel’s about 5 years ago, these TV Connectors are fairly versatile, minimal lip-sync, audio clarity is good… Yeah, you could buy a Bluetooth dongle, but in comparison to the TV Connector, it may be a compromise… Weight wise, a couple of ounces, 3 inch square, by half an inch thick, USB 2 to power up, Toslink or 3.5 jack plug to connect to audio, cables are provided… In the MyPhonak App, you can adjust the ambient balance & volume, the ambient balance will remove all office noise, if you set the slider all the way to the right… Cheers Kev

Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX ($199) work well with my Widex Moment Sheer HAs. Note that these have high-impedance (300 Ω) drivers and are open-backed, so that’s something to consider when using at work, where leakage/ambient noise and subpar PC headphone outputs may be in play.

Otherwise, I skip the HAs and use Apple AirPods 2, or an IEM system that supports EQ to adequately compensate for my HL (wired IEMs and the Qudelix 5K DAC/amp, or TWS with EQ such as the AKG N400NC).

I recently picked up the Linsoul 7Hz x Crinacle Zero:2 wired IEMs for $27 out the door and have EQ’d them to suit on the Qudelix 5K. They have remarkably low distortion for the cost and can be EQ’d aggressively. I applied compensation to the bass because I swapped out the ear tips for wider-bore SpinFit CP145s.

Tried all brands over the ear. Only Sony fit well over aids

Ahhh! A connoisseur of vintage audiophile headphones!!
And a Q5K, too!

When working at home, I use Bose QC35 over-the-ear headphones with a Bluetooth connection. I can use these without my hearing aids by turning up the volume. If I wear my aids, they will whistle unless I turn the aids down a bit.

When working in the office, I use a much cheaper set of wired on-the-ear headphones with a boom mike. I usually have to turn down the aids a bit.

What aids fo you have? I wear my Q25 Bose with an aftermarket Bluetooth adapter over my Oticon Real1 or my More1 aids without any feedback. And that includes with using the wide open Music program.

i have tried some no-name over the ear wearing Phonak and Signia

Both gave me bad feedback

KS8. If they whine, I only need to turn them down slightly.
