Go to the UK and get you a "Mobility " RIC BTE Mini aid and your problem will be solved..
They are not sold in the US to the best of my knowledge.

Back in the early 80s (?), there were ads for a 'scarf' that had a speaker in each end such that you would wear it around the back of your neck with the 'speaker' ends resting on your chest, just below the collarbones. The ads advised that you could listen to music while skiing, driving, etc., and pick up the lower notes through your chest/whatever. Wish I'd bought one!

Re: music
The irony here in Washington is we are not allowed to wear headphones but motorcyclists are allowed have speakers inside their helmets - go figure.
For the last 20 years or so I have used over the ear headphones in the Healey, now with and Ipod but started with a Walkman. I never knew or even thought to ask if it was allowed until about 5 years ago someone pointed out the law.
In all that time, travelling in Washington, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, California, British Columbia and Alberta as well as a trip across the country to Wisconsin I have never been stopped by a cop and most of my driving is with the top down so I am very visible.
I have concluded that no one really cares, I hope. I haven't checked recently but it used to be that deaf people could drive, so why should headphones be a problem...

Re: music
I wonder how the laws will change with self-driving cars. Will people be permitted to watch TV/Video when the car is moving/driving itself?

The braille on the drive-up ATMs always drove me nuts. About 10 years ago, I was behind a minivan in the ATM line. A nun was driving, and when it was her turn, she stopped, opened the side door, and helped three blind ladies out so they could use the ATM. I guess I shouldn't be so cynical...

Re: music
a little follow up on this project.
i had ordered a power inverter for USB charging from Amazon. cost was less than 6 bucks all in. took a ride the other day with the speaker i have on the shelf. for most songs at 50-60 mph, i could hear them pretty well. so decided this is where i would mount my inverter. i can always run a cord to move a speaker where necc but this also made it an easy spot to charge my phone.
few pics. one is the inverter and one is it mounted. the last is the speaker plugged in. i wired this to my sub-fuse panel and put it on a 5 amp fuse.

Back in the ?early 80s?, there was an outfit that sold a 'scarf' with a speaker in each end such that you would flop the 'scarf' around your neck with the ends over your collarbones and 'feel' the music. Anyone else remember these ads? They were targeting skiers et al, and I've always regretted not ordering one.
I just did a search on the magic web with the title 'scarf speakers' and found a neck-tube on Amazon that might also fill the bill (so to speak) for less than twenty bucks. And Bose has something they call 'SoundWear' for a factor of 15 times the price as well.
On other issues: I hadn't thought about enlisting diLithium crystals to provide power to any system, as well as some of the previous advisdments. But it does look like we have options; I would just prefer someone else to spend the money and tell us the good, the bad, and the ugly. Later, Doug

I believe the scarf you are referring to was the "Bone Fone" I think it only lasted about a year due to the introduction of the Sony Walkman. A coworker bought one and let me try it - it wasn't terrible.

Before I got the Com-Dex setup that interfaces with my hearing aids I used the a set of LG wireless headphones. They are loud enough to give good music over the exhaust but they are illegal in many states as we have already discussed.

Yes, the bone phone, here you go https://www.retrothing.com/2006/01/the_bone_fone_r.html I remember the ads back in the day.
Funny thing is when I googled it I got all sorts of modern equipment, though the latest go next to the bones in the skull/ear.
In my 100 I put a stereo on the parcel shelf and speakers on the floor behind the seats. No holes or permanent anything to the interior, worked alright, but you need a bit of an amp to be able to hear anything well at any appreciable speed.

Never been one to shy away from an engineering challenge. If your ears are too sensitive for the clips on the Lid Latch you might consider getting a couple of ear piercing's. You could fit a couple of spring washers thru the holes and attached the clips to them.
