Welcome 
Most users are in the US but there are quite a few international folks on her too. Everyone is welcome...as long as they follow the posted rules.
I don't have any ideas other than, if you are technically inclined, to try to build your own amplifier unit that lets you go louder. I have look at that myself because nothing is loud enough for me. I'm not an electrical engineer though so I don't really know what I might need to create something like that.

I still feel the vib but given up on the words gone to sign sing
I still feel the vib but given up on the words gone to sign singwell mdr-a10 headphones still work for me with either a sont phones ,boosted with an app,or switching off the regs on an mp3 players,BUT only with the late 80's and early 90's headband in ear headphones like the mdr-a10's just bought 2 which cost me £60 about $80. and still work fine for me,my hearing loss is moderate borderline severe to profound nerve deafness. So if anyone has similar loss or less the same stuff might help them too.
