Mono headphones source
Does anyone know of a reasonable source for low-cost mono over-ear
headphones with a 3.5mm plugÉ I have been asked to look into hearing assistance for a low-budget event. I have a Nady wireless system that works okay (this is for spoken word only), but it does not work with stereo headphones, and the earbuds that come with it are a) a pain to clean and sanitize, and b) earbuds, so they do not work well for folks with hearing aids. I would rather not set up a loop, though it is one possibility; I even have an old Soundmaster loop amp in storage. I also would rather not set up an IR system, as the rental costs locally are rather high. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Dave OèHeare |

The bad news is that this is a another thing to get lost. The good news is that contact cement will glue them to the headphones. The classic school AV ones are http://store.cousinsvideo.com/cal-3068av.html but those are kind of clumsy. Still, I would look in the school AV market. Hmm... these claim to have special technology to switch from stereo to mono: http://www.schoolsin.com/Merchant5/m...ELMgodth 8Aug --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Dave OèHeare The Califone-SO 3068AV Switchable Stereo/Mono Headphones sell for around $9.00 and they are fairly robust.

You could connect the output of the Nady receiver to a neckloop. Headphones often don't work well with hearing aids. A neckloop is lightweight and discreet - can be worn under clothing if desired - and doesn't have hygiene issues. http://www.connevans.info/page/neckloop http://www.actiononhearingloss.org.u...uct-l335a.aspx Most appear to be terminated in stereo plugs but I don't see why they shouldn't be rewireable to a mono plug with a little experimentation.
