Stereo Earpieces for Hearing Impaired: Solutions for Half-Sound Audio

[glondor]

Hi all. Anyone ever heard of a stereo earpiece? My son is deaf in one ear and when he uses headphones he looses half the sound. Ear buds are the same. only half the sound comes thru. I wonder if there is a full sound earpiece out there some where. IE both channels of sound in one earbud.

Actually, what you want is a mono earpiece. You can get adapters at any decent electronics store: http://www.nextag.com/stereo-to-mono-adapter/products-html

Alternately, you can buy mono headphones: http://www.nextag.com/mono-headphones/shop-html

thanks Russ, looks like all we need is an adapter.
