Shower head is too high - how to fix?

My DH hates low shower heads so he had it installed high. Now I can't reach the shower head but it works well for him. I'd like to lower the showerhead about 3 inches.

Setup details: The supply comes out of the wall 6ft 11in above the floor. I have a standard ~5" shower arm and a standard showerhead. The bottom of the showerhead is about 6ft-5in above the floor. The shower is small, about 3' x 3' with a ceiling height of 7ft 2in.

I already have a separate handshower on another wall so I do not want to replace it with a bar and handshower.

Options being considered include:

1. A longer 9-10" shower arm to drop it 2-3".

2. An adjustable shower arm but these all seem too long at 10".

3. Possibly a rain shower or something that doesn't need adjustment. I just need to be able to direct the stream away from me or get out from under it in the small shower.
