Ken's Deputy 4,457 Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Anyone know about speakers, please? Put simply; I'm clinically deaf and it's only getting worse. Now, the speakers I have on here make films sound like every fukker's whispering. What should I be looking for, please? On Amazon. I think volume output's measured in 'Ohm's', isn't it? So, I'd want maximum those, through a 3.5mm jack, or usb speakers? Something like that? Any guidance deeply appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dytkos 17,754 Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Serious question, have you tried a hearing aid? Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dytkos 17,754 Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Fella I know got one from Specsavers, pricey but it's took him from pretty much totally deaf to having normal hearing. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,457 Posted February 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Without droning on about my life history? Let's just say Any sort of speakers would be Far cheaper than any aids Bitcher is; I can listen to some shit on the chube? Wall to wall. Watched a random film, on flix, earlier? Felt like duct taping the speaker to my fukking head! Bottom line is? I've explored and tested everything else. My only hope now is louder speakers / a speaker.

Ken's Deputy 4,457 Posted February 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Was thinking about that, mate. Been down That route before too. They last about five fukking minutes, before a jumping up dog takes out the wire Cost me a few sets. But, I wonder; How about these Wireless ones I've noticed, down the years? Must admit, I don't really relish the idea of having my 'hearing' cocooned like that. It's weird. I just don't. I could be sitting here with a Moterhead concert level noise going on - won't bother me. But, I still just like to think I could discern 'warning' sounds through it.

chartpolski 22,626 Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 If you want top end quality go for Nakamichi Soundwafe. I had Nakamichi components back in the 80's teamed up with JBL pro monitors. Sound quality that's hard to beat today. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
