Hearing Zoom and Teams Virtual Meetings

[M00n_Zero_2]

Hi,Does anyone have problems hearing over virtual meetings e.g Teams and Zoom?

Was this something that was fixed and what was the solution?

I'm thinking there might be a technical solution to this problem e.g specific type of ear buds or headphones?

I have constant tinnitus and Menieres Disease, and also partial hearing loss in right ear.

Thanks.

Hello Andrew

A potential solution maybe bone conduction headsets (with mic) Bone conduction headphones leverage the bones near our inner ear (jaw and skull bones) therefore good for those with hearing loss Sitting outside our ears, bone conduction headphones contain a special driver that creates the vibrations our cochlea needs without using the eardrums. These vibrations then travel directly from the headphones to our inner ear and then are converted to sound by our brain. Having an open ear canal can help us hear ambient sound instead of simply the processed sound of your zoom or teams meeting that may help tinnitus from being so intrusive too. There are naturally various retailers, I will pop up this link for you uk.shokz.com/products/openc...

All the best Paula
