Computer Headset for the Hearing Impaired Recommendation?

[Lucky Dog]

Hello:

I'm looking for a stereo computer headset with boom mic or an add-on
amplifier device for the hearing impaired. My mother is almost deaf in
her right ear and she complains that regular headsets are not loud
enough for her. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi lucky,

I use a AHS-202 Altech lancing setup for all my disabled clients
(myself included). It has a volume control and a MIC boost control on
the cable of the headset. Very reliable and durable. I have not seen a
headset that has an actual 'amp' built in, however there are external
powered amps available from Radio shack

Thanks so much for your help JAD. I really appreciate it. I'm off to
look for the AHS-202 headsets.
