For people looking for hearing aid compatible corded headsets, the Plantronics HW510 , and the Plantronics HW510V are both Telecoil hearing aid compatible. Depending on the desk phone that will be used for you can go either for a bottom cable or an amplifier, my recommendation would be the Plantronics M22 Vista Amplifier with ClearLine Audio, that allows you to modulate the volume on the headset and allows you to mute the microphone when needed.
