Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I use Jabra Evolve 75's. Awesome headset and great at cutting out unwanted noise for you and the listener. The pc software that it comes with gives you even more refinement possibilities.

If you can connect your hearing aid directly to your phone then why not download the Teams App on your phone and join the meeting on your phone? If you need to be "on camera" on your laptop webcam, then join on both phone and laptop simultaneously, but have the laptop muted?

I would suggest using the transcript option but there are usually too many errors, especially if people on the call aren't clear enough.

connected with hearing aids and phone this morning and it's soooo much better than you for the top tip!

(Rather annoyingly it's a daily totally useless meeting that has to be done but no one knows why as we all just read out numbers!)

I suspect you could also pester the right department for Teams suitable hearing aids of some kind, if participating in Teams is needed in your job. Do they have an Occupational Health (or similar) dept to assess/assist you?

Did you get anywhere with connecting your blueteeth aids to the pc? All my headsets happily connect to phone & computer.

have mailed the hearing aid company re BT to multiple devices and not had a reply

now I know how much better it is I will def push for better headset

I made a "thing" of testing this morning and boss (who doesn't have hearing issues) also said that she finds teams call hard when people are talking around her so that probably helps!

obvious issue with using phone is that it uses my data - I have tried but can't connect to work wifi (they fixed that pre covid as everyone was connecting their phones to it!)

It might be an idea for your employers to have a look at Access to Work. It's a grant scheme to obtain suitable equipment, software and hardware for a particular user if they did not want to purchase IT equipment in bulk.

About This Thread

Maintained by EvilPixie
Can anyone recommend a good headset to use with teams that has a USB connection and most importantly will help with hearing aid users

I have mine at 100% and it seems quiet still but when I up the volume on my aids it just amplifies the office noise

So I guess I need one which covers the whole of the ear and aid? would that be classed as noise cancelling??

Thanks
Pix
