iPhone Headset

[dufreyne]

Does anyone know of an iPhone headset that would work well with Single Sided Deafness?
Specifically I'm looking for:
1.  Single Sided Headphone
2.  Over the Ear or Loop Type, not a simple 'bud'
3.  Mono, not stereo
4.  Microphone included so you can make calls as well
5.  Compatable with iPhone.

Anyone?  Thanks in advance.

Hi Dufreyne,

Scansound have the following: http://www.scansound.com/pro-series.htm#MEP101M

But they're bud's and they're stereo.  I've just emailed them to see if they could do it in mono with a loop type earpiece (which I can't see why they couldn't as they sell those already).  Will let you know how I get on.

Cheers

Dufreyne -

I don't know the answer to your question; looks like JB does, though.

Actually I'm hijacking this thread (shh; don't tell Phyl).

Am wondering how you're doing.  It's been a while since you've given us an update.

Hope all is well,

Jan

Any of your standard Bluetooth headsets should fit all of these requests..  Specifically, I've used the Plantronics Voyager 510 because it came with a lifter (for the office phone) and base such that I could use the same device for my office phone or my cell depending on which one was in range and/or ringing..

I seemlessly went between the office and my cell with the same headset..  It was great.  It's an over-the-ear design, so there's one side to it...Microphone included and I've used it with my iPhone so I know it's compatible for sure there.. Although, any standard bluetooth headset should work with your iPhone..

Hope this helps..

Along the same lines as what Brian (Hi Brian!) suggested, I have a BLue Ant Q1 which pairs with both regular and cell phone.  It has a loose earbud (allowing outside noise) and an ear hook.  I've actually ordered a replacement earbud because I want a tighter fit that blocks out some of the external noise.

Hi Debbi, my surgery sister in crime..    Coming on fast to 2 years, eh?   Man, time has flown!

Thanks for the responses. 

JB:  Thanks for the tip regarding Scansound.  I like what they offer, just wish they had over the ear, loop type.

Brian and Debbie: Appreciate the suggestio re: Plantronics Voyager and BlueAnt.

Jan:  Yes, it's been a while.  Nice to hear from you.  I like the new pic.  Me, I'm doing well.  I've adjusted to post surgery life reasonably well.  I've been back at work for over a year now.  I seem to do well, despite the new challenges.  In some ways, I actually enjoy my work more.  Perhaps it's one of those silver linings that I hear so much about!  I have taken up Yoga(not a field I would have considered before the surgery).  I find it good for both mind and body.
