Yes, she does in the right aid.  I had a set of stereo phones that would 
have been perfect--the old Nova 20 headphones from Radio Shack.  The reason 
I know they would work is because I used to use one of the telephone pick 
up coils to grab signal from them for a tape recorder.  But I think they 
would be too big and clumsy for your purposes.  Actually, that might be an 
easy way to evaluate headphones, though.  I still have the pick up coil 
that I used for making those recordings.
