I have an iPad where I don’t have to hold it, reading news, books or anything of the sort. Hope this helps😊

There are ways to listen to the news also. Some podcasts offer news. Sorry I can’t provide specific sources at this time. Perhaps members can do some research on this.

I use audio books. I can listen to the audio at night to help me fall asleep.
