Hearing aid direct input - FAQ
I am a hearing aid user and want to listen to my I-Pod, I have seen the DPV blue plugged personal stereo direct input leads and the personal inductive listening neckloops on your website and I do not know which one to choose - can you explain the differences please - why would I choose one rather than the other - which will give the best performance?
You have a number of questions here, let me answer them as follows:
Can you explain the differences please?
How does a personal inductive listening neckloop work?
This is explained in another FAQ read answer here
What is a direct input hearing aid?

Which will give the best performance?
Hearing aid direct input.
Visit here for a blue plugged personal stereo direct input lead and here for direct input shoes.
The lead above is unsuitable for use with just one hearing aid. Connevans offer a specific combination for a single direct input hearing aid to connect to a 3.5mm stereo headphones socket. Visit here to purchase a listening pod patch cable and single direct input lead. The Listening pod safely converts the stereo to a mono signal and the single direct input lead provides the connection to the direct input hearing aid.
Are there any other factors to consider?
Fitting direct input shoes to a hearing aid requires a reasonable level of dexterity - if this is likely to be a problem choose the easier option of a personal inductive listening product.
Cost and product details, a personal inductive listening product will cost less than a direct input connection with a blue plugged personal stereo direct input lead and 2 direct input shoes.
