[nabs-l] Are you listening to music?

[Sophie Trist]

Gerardo, I wear a hearing aid, but I don't wear headphones with 
my iPhone all the time. What I do is I turn the volume down 
reeeeeeeeeally low and hold it right to my ear. Having a phone 
pressed into your face is a more commonplace sight out in public 
than wearing earphones. I think certain hearing aids can connect 
to the iPhone via bluetooth, but I'm not sure how this works.

  HI listers
The subject line says it all; it's the question I've gotten when 
in the
store or wherever I'm with my family, they ask. The reason is 
because as
most of you on here, I wear hearing aids due to a 70% hearing 
loss; I've
got an IPhone, and always have atop my hearing aids the earbuds 
for the
hands free piece, in case I get a call, I only have to press the 
button
on the hands free and away I anser! I have each earbud atop each 
hearing
aid if you understand what I mean because my hearing aids are 
those that
go behind the ear. So my question is, do I really look Martian by 
always
having these earbuds atop my hearing aids? My Mom says I do, but 
my Dad
says that nowadays everyone has earbuds on all the time, thus 
appreciate
any ideas. If indeed it isn't well-seen to always have earbuds 
on, then
what other ideas do you guys who wear hearing aids have to offer? 
What
I'm wanting is when I get a call, not waste time getting the 
phone out
of my pocket, have to put the phone up to my hearing aids to hear 
what
the caller id info says etc, thus I thought that maybe with the 
earbuds
on the aids, would be the solution? Thanks for ideas.
