This is ideal for me.
I use it inside, too, now for listening to radio, podcasts, and phone calls. I wear it all day long from rising out of bed until I get in bed. It helps me as I’m starting to lose my hearing so I can’t use my phone handset anymore.
The collar one uses the same idea as helmet speakers, just without the helmet
. The bone conduction circumvents your ear canal and there are hearing aids using the bone conduction, helping those with problems in the middle and outer ears. Big vendors, such as Best Buy, may have demonstration headphones with bone conduction and maybe it is something you should check out.
