<DIV>If this is the case you should have gone elsewere. These people who
are not audiologist are just hearing aid sales people and are not specialist of
any kind. They can only sale you an aid. Make sure you have a
qualified audiologist before you have the hearing evaluation.</DIV>

Wow here in where I am, the hearing aid person with whom I go, doesn't
<BR>seem to take seriously or I don't know, but he thinks every hearing aid
<BR>person hears the same; for instance he doesn't have equipment like you
<BR>guys mention to evaluate, thus he leaves it to me to tell him if Ihear
<BR>sounds OKor not. another thing? I seem to know more than he does,
<BR>especially because he doesn't seem to understand when I tell him of my
<BR>MT setting on my old hearing aids; he insists that there's no such
thing!<BR><BR>El 21/03/2014 07:52 a.m., Darlene Laibl-Crowe escribió:<BR>>
I've worn hearing aids since I was a child and I can tell you that the
new<BR>> models of HAs are wonderful! I've had Siemens before and
still have my old<BR>> ones as a backup. When I went to HKNC I was
introduced to Phoneak and the<BR>> assistive devices that are paired with
them and they are absolutely amazing.<BR>><BR>><BR>> I got a new pair
of HAs about 3 to 4 weeks ago with the updated ComPilot,<BR>> Mic and TV
link. I've used the Mic at the gym and my trainer speaks into it<BR>>
so I can hear what she has to say; however, it also picks up much of
the<BR>> background so there is much to be done about that. I am
scheduled to go<BR>> back to my audiologist for follow up and adjustments
next week. I have not<BR>> used the TV link yet but hope to
soon. The ComPilot is a Bluetooth neck<BR>> loop that is paired to
anything that has Bluetooth capacity: Laptop,<BR>> iPhone, Cell
Phone, Tablets, Braille Displays and on. But it is not<BR>>
accessible to landline phones unless you get one that has Bluetooth<BR>>
capacity. Not sure what brands have that ability.<BR>><BR>> I use
an iPhone which works well as speaker phone and I can hear clearly<BR>>
with my ComPilot. What does the ComPilot do? It is like those ear
pieces<BR>> that hearing people use when driving...hands free. The
caller's voice goes<BR>> right into the ear and no phone to the ear.
When I receive a call, all I<BR>> have to do is push a button on the neck
loop that is hanging around my neck<BR>> and say 'hello'. There is a
mic at the top of that button and it picks up<BR>> your voice. Then
when the caller speaks the sound goes right into my<BR>> hearing
aids. The sound is clear because some of the background noise
has<BR>> been muted so I am able to focus on the caller. It isn't
perfect but it is<BR>> much better than putting the phone to the ear or
using the landline without<BR>> clarity. There are lots of brand out
there and some have the same devices.<BR>> Just have to do your homework
and ask questions.<BR>><BR>> Also, another fact, my range of hearing
loss is at different ranges, when<BR>> the area of loss is programmed into
the HAs, it brings those sounds into the<BR>> range that you can
hear. So you are picking up sounds that you have heard<BR>> before or
haven't heard in a long time. When I was little my hearing loss<BR>>
was mild to moderate and as I grew up I lost more hearing. Now it is
Severe<BR>> to Profound loss.<BR>><BR>> Another important factor when
looking into HAs providers is that they are<BR>> knowledgeable about their
products. If you have someone that doesn't know<BR>> how to turn it
on or what the devices do then you obviously have someone who<BR>> doesn't
understand your needs. It is okay to be selective and ask<BR>>
questions.<BR>><BR>> Like someone told me...there is no dumb
question! You don't know until you<BR>> ask.<BR>><BR>> Hope
this helps those looking for Hearing Aids.<BR>><BR>> Have a Fabulous
Friday!<BR>><BR>> (smile)<BR>> Darlene<BR>><BR>> "God wants to
breathe new life into your dreams. He wants to breathe new<BR>> hope into
