Jill,

Where did you get the splitter jack? That would certainly solve some of our

" listening " problems between the two kids.

Debbie,

Ian bought it at Radio Shack and I think it is a rather inexpensive

purchase. The cords are not long, the whole thing is maybe 6 inches from one end

to

the other. It plugs into the device and then the kids' headphone (or neckloop)

plugs into it.

Go into Radio Shack (or any place like that, Best Buy, Circuit City) and ask

for help, Im sure they can help you find one.

Best -- Jill

Radioshack has another cool thing. It is headphones with a volume control in

the cord. This way Maggie and someone else can both plug into her portable DVD

player and only Maggie has the volume cranked into her ears! I sure wish they

made a microlink type system at Radio Shack - it would probably cost 1/20th of

what Phonak charges! We have a splitter cord too.

Our kids all have headphones with individual inline volume control for

sharing the DVD player on long car trips. The headphones don't turn the

volume up, because it has no power to add. It turns the volume down, so the

DVD volume is set to the person's preferences with the greatest hearing

loss, and everyone else turns it down to their comfort.

A 2 way splitter will work, but most devices do not deliver enough power to

the headphones to split it 3 ways, especially if someone needs more volume

than normal. If you need to split 3 ways, buy the 3 way splitter with

amplifier instead of the standard 3 way splitter from Rat Scrap. It takes 2

AA batteries, which add power for enough increased volume for 3 listeners.
