Chosen Solution

I am starting a business providing tablets to elderly people, some of whom will be hard of hearing so increased volume output and clarity of sound is important. I need to talk to someone who can help identify what speakers I can use taking into account size of required speakers (dimensions), output and power requirements. I will probably have to build a casing and holder to house the speakers and slot the tablet into the case but I really need help to identify the best solution.

You’re facing some interesting problems here. Most tablets just don’t have the power to support larger external speakers. In addition the nature of tablets will make it hard to mount the speakers in an alignment that the person you want the output to be heard (focused). I bought a UE Boom to improve my iPad experience. It does a good job so you could go with a Bluetooth speaker that the person can place directly in front of them selves, which is the ideal placement. Building a holder to support the speaker may make the weight issue a problem if they are holding the tablet. The other option is to try one of the newer Pro series iPads which have much better speakers built-in as this was a sour point of the older models lack of good sound. Lastly, some newer hearing aids offer Bluetooth service or using a set of wired headphone may make the experience better as you would have less cross-noise in an open space with others.

I have the voulum setting right but can’t hear the sound of it is very soft
