[nabs-l] Are you listening to music?

[Loren Wakefield]

I wear hearing aids and have what is called a com-pilot.  It connects via
Bluetooth to me hearing aids.  Thus I can listen to music, radio, or phone
calls via Bluetooth and my hands are free.  I really enjoy this.  I use an
IPhone 5s.

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.
