Wireless headphones with separate volume controls?

[guzziguy]

Hi,

My 87 year old father could use a pair of wireless headphones. They don't have to be great sounding but, due to issues with his hearing, must have separate volume control for each ear. Does anybody know of such a beast? I guess that it's time to start googling.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

i don't know about wireless, but you can just get a really long cord

sennheiser makes a little doohickey that can control the channels

not the cheapest volume control

Thanks for the pointer to a box that will give separate volume controls. That may be a solution if I can plug the wireless sender into it. Wireless is necessary.

I posted this yesterday after my sister asked me this question. However, I started thinking more about it. I think that his computer will be the source. So all we really need to do is to get him some decent wireless headphones and teach him to use the balance and volume controls. Anyway, I'll verify the total setup before worrying much more about this.

These: http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite...transid=009927 are for hearing impaired people and have a balance control.
