Darn -iPad-trigger finger again) cont... Williams sound pocket talker and personal listener.
It measures about 4" X 6" and is quite light. It is designed so the person with a hearing difficulty wears the earbuds/headphones and the speaker uses the thumb-sized microphone.
We use it the opposite way. I am the one with the earbuds and the microphone is clipped into the top pocket of my husband's shirt. It works like a charm and have made our visits SO much less stressful. I am not saying "What?" all the time and is not saying "Never mind" all the time, knowing that he can make himself heard and understood.
There is a website but I suggest you just seek out Williams Sound Pocket Talker. They cost around $150 but I don't know if that is US or Canadian dollars.
Has he seen a speech therapist? My husband with LBD was able to learn to project his voice via several speech therapy sessions. He didn't remember to do that all the time, but when I reminded him he could make himself heard.
I suppose it depends on where your husband is cognitively, but if you haven't tried speech therapy, I suggest it.
