You what? Speak up mate!
Ah the move from analogue to digital hearing aids. Did that about 5 years ago maybe? In London. So yes I wear digital hearing aids. My hearing aids have some contact points on them. Then I get a shoe for each hearing aid. The shoe also has contact points that match the contact points on the hearing aid. I then have a special cable which at one end is a normal 3.5mm plug and at the other end a three pronged plug to fit into the shoe. I plut the cable into my iPod, PC etc and voila I has music.
So its just making headphones in effect out of my hearing aids. Its good as the sound doesn't leak like with normal headphones meaning I can sit in the quiet carriage on the Virgin trains without upsetting any of the other passengers.
