Don’t let hearing impairment stop you from seeking help!
For counselling or consulting with those who are hearing impaired, I use a “Pocketalker” by Williams Sound with hygienic covers for the earphones (or you can use your own earbuds or earphones). This device can be used with existing hearing aids.
Pocketalker ULTRA System
Improve your hearing – improve your life with the new Pocketalker Ultra from Williams Sound! The Pocketalker Ultra amplifies sounds closest to the listener while reducing background noise. The Pocketalker Ultra features a lightweight, ergonomic design for portability and ease of use. Finger tip adjustable volume control allows you to quickly adjust to your listening environment – whether your hearing loss is low frequency or high frequency sounds. The listening accessories jack accommodates for a variety of earphone and headphone options. Use the Pocketalker Ultra with an optional neckloop (NKL 001) to amplify a telecoil-equipped hearing aid.
To purchase a Pocketalker, check out the Williams Sound website.
If you or someone you know has special needs, please let me know and I will accommodate as best as I can.

Hi Kelly. I am sorry but I don’t know where you could buy those headphones. You may want to try contacting the company that makes the Pocketalker. They may be able to help you. You can Google it. – Angela
