I feel for you not enough volume. I have tried the Jabra 250 and 500 with my 750 ok but not great. I tried them on my blackjack I needed to turn them down. I think it is the phone as much as the ear piece

Today I received a device that allows me to answer my phone using my own hearing aids. It is made by phonak and it will work with any hearing aid system that has a telephone mode. Telephone mode- Mine have a small button on the hearing aid that allow me to press and then answer the phone with out feed back. I believe this is called a T coil or Telephone Coil. This device has 2 parts one called myLink and the other called SmartLink SX. When I put a small device that hangs around my neck (it's about 1"X 1 1/2" by 1/4" that is under my shirt hidden from sight it will connect with my hearing aids and my cell phone. I can turn the device off if I want but it does have it's own rechargeable batteries. There is no power drain on my hearing aids, I can answer the phone talk and hang up without touching my phone. I have the Jabra BTS6620 but this new system is great. By far the best system for one that wants BT and has hearing aids. It even works with Skype and my laptop.

Want any more info just let me know.

I would LOVE to know where to buy - I haven't found much info when searching for it online...I sent an email to my hearing aid guy, so hopefully he'll be able to help me out. Thanks for the post!!

I have a 2.5 meg PDF file on the system from phonak and I can send it to you if you want. Just need an address to send it to. My email address is iproff@rogers.com

Hey, thanks - I have the .pdf files available from their website and my H.A. guy sent me some more information about them. He is looking into procuring them for me to test as we speak. He has a little more flexibility as he dispenses H.A.s and other related devices through a University clinic so I may be a test subject (which will be nice, because these appear to be pricey!).

Glad you got the PDF file.
Yes they are pricey but how I look at it, it's my hearing, it will make my life easier and allow me to hear better in public and be able to use my phone. I have found that the adapter that links the TV is great. I can listen to the news while the wife and kids talk or make as much noise as they want. I can still hear.

H700 worked ok, but everyone had trouble HEARING ME! Is this normal?

most of the JABRA headset that wrap arond the ear have a rubber piece that goes inside the ear. the headset come with several sizes of the rubber pieces,, just use it with the buber piece removed.
