[nfb-db] Are you listening to music?

[Sterling Shadowwolf]

Gerardo,
Personally speaking, I hate the earbuds. Because they draw unwanted
attention to your ears and they look kinda odd. I wear both a CI and a
digital hearing aid. And I use what's called a RogerLink Pen FM System.
This looks like any other FM system and you wear it around your neck like a
necklace. The system first needs to be parred to your iPhone via Bluetooth.
In my case, the digital hearing aid's T-coil mode comes on automatically.
Which means if I get an incoming call and I answer the phone call, the
T-coil mode comes on automatically. For my CI, I have to use my remote to
switch the mode into T-coil settings. The RogerLink Pen works on both my CI
and hearing aid at the same time, which gives me optimum listening
performance because I'm listening to the conversation with both ears, plus
the background noises/commotion blocked out (isn't today's technology
wonderful?). Depending on your hearing aid type or model, I would highly
recommend the RogerLink Pen FM System. Talk to your audiologist about this
device to determine if this works on your hearing aids. It does work well
with the iPhone devices.
