Is one of your ears better than the other? I'm deaf in my right ear so naturally turn my head so my left ear is toward the sound and my husband changes barstools if he accidentally sits on the "wrong" side. Maybe you can sit sideways to your T; make the two of you into a real "T" shape, LOL.

Maybe you can get an assisted listening device; an FM system or something like two phones that go just between the two of you? http://www.williamssound.com/product...?product_id=82
