I’m in the same situation as you with severe hearing loss and ringing in the ears. Hearing aids help with everyday life. Looking at several different posts here on the forums opinions seem to be the bone conduction headphones might help us both but some people find that they are uncomfortable or are difficult to use because they have problems maintaining their position on their head. I have found that beaches have winds that can make the use of hearing aids not pleasant. Wind noise overwhelms everything else. Wearing headphones is likely my best option for detecting. Land hunting my Xterra pro with speaker and vibration is my preferred method if I’m not too close to people who want to be able to enjoy the sound of the outdoors and not be distracted by my detector. If you find a solution please share with me and the other impaired individuals looking for a better solution. Good luck.
