No, I cannot use Newsline. I have two major problems with it. With my hearing loss I use context a lot to figure out what is being said, and article titles/headlines have no context. My other problem is the speech speed -- it's too fast for me, and from what I can tell, it's really only adjustable in an article and in other limited situations. <br>
<br>
As a result, I use radio and TV news, which I have been able to understand since I got my two Cochlear Implants.<br>
