Bone Conduction compatible with live listen?

We have a student who is looking for support with their hearing.

there was a post from 3 years ago where a child had med-el bone conduction… this looks like it might be supported now!


my question is for our student at our school, she has moderate hearing loss on one side but it was recently diagnosed and they won’t have surgery for many months, the audiologist said bone conduction would work as she scored normal range using bone conduction. But there aren’t any bone conduction “iPhone compatible” headphones available. Is there a way around that? They are struggling to keep up in class without being able to hear the directions/instruction

As we are all Apple users, like yourself, in the community, unless a hearing-specialist replies, it is likely no-one here has the specialist knowledge needed in order to reply. Am no expert in this area, yet your request deserves some response.


There is a discussion thread (with links to info.) that may provide some tips:
