Title: hearing both channels in one ear
Post by: mudpuppy on March 01, 2008, 12:59:30 pm
Since my wife is now deaf in one ear (AN removed 8 months ago), we have been looking around for some sort of headphones that put both stereo channels in one ear.  After lots of looking, I've turned up these: http://www.scansound.com/single-stereo-earbud.htm.

Anyone heard of any other solutions?


Thanks!

Thanks for the lead.  I wondered if they existed.  The only other option is remixing the CDs stereo sound onto one channel.  According to my brother who is a musician, this is possible on a mixing board.

 Good Beans I will order one now! The iPod is what got me listening to music again as believe it or not I could no longer enjoy it when I first got home and it depressed me as I would remember where I was when I first heard the song and growing up in the barrios of East LA I learned to dance at an early age and could no longer do that also if you can afford it do get a Bose Sound dock for the iPod it is amazing sound from such a compact unit I was putting both ear buds next to my ear and bought a device called a Boostaroo to boost the volume an iPod amplifier sold on Amazon, I now can once again dance somewhat but I dont think I will be on TV anytime soon maybe if I keep at it another 10 years or so? 45 years of practice down the drain, I remember learning the twist anybody else remember Limbo sets and Limbo parties? LOL things were simpler way back it didnt take much to amuse us.

Friday at work I was doing the twist, mash potato, swim, jerk, monkey - an oldie but goldie came on & our secretary
called me into her office - great way to end the work week.
I was just a kid when those moves came out, but I still remember them (have 2 older brothers....)

Whatever happened to Hula hoops? Its not complicated enough I suppose I bought my Grandson an Etch a Sketch and he loves it, also got him an old fashioned metal pedal car.

I was  #1 with the Hoola Hoop as a kid - tried it as an adult - couldn't do it.

Radio Shack also has inexpensive stereo-to-mono adapters that will work with the headphones you already have.  That's what I use for my iPod.  It does leave the other earbud dangling around, useless, but it's another option.

I checked out the website posted by Mudpuppy, and found that strangely, the minimum order for the earbud is 2.  Why would anyone want 2??  They are $5.95 each.  It certainly won't break the bank to order 2 of them, but maybe someone here would want to buy one off me??
