For people who have hearing issues and are constantly on their phones there are a couple of solutions available that enable them to be able to have more control over the volume of the phone conversations.

If the employee has a corded headset it is advisable that they utilize an amplifier, which will enable them to have much more control over the volume of the phone calls.

(NOTE: Certain Bluetooth hearing aids made specifically for iPhone or Android are NOT compatible with this set up)

For Jabra corded headsets there are two amplifiers currently on the market, the

Jabra Link 860:

Jabra Link 850 Digital Audio Processor/Amplifier

and the GN Netcom 8210:

The Jabra Link 860 is powered through a usb port or one can purchase the optional AC adapter. The GN Netcom 8210 comes with an AC adapter. These are basically the only differences between the two aside from the look.
