<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">I also do not like the earbud. I
personally do two different things. First, sometimes I use headphones. Yes, it
can be a headache or a little bothersome to place headphones over hearing aids.
However, that what I prefer sometimes and I do not care what it looks like. I
would wear headphones when I am using my pocket talker which is another type of
fm system. secondly, I have an Icon which I believe it is made by Phonics. This
is my bluetooth. I wear it around my neck and it is paired with my IPhone and
when I have a incoming call I push the button on the front of the ICon to answer
the call. It all depends on your preference and your hearing aid. Also, on
the bottom of my Icon there is a opening for a two way cord to insert into
anywhere headphones go so I can listen to my music or read a book. </FONT></DIV>

Gerardo,<BR>I agree with Sterling. I use an FM system that connects with
my cell phone via Bluetooth and it is great. There are several different
major companies that produce FM systems. I did not know that they also
made one to interface with a CI, if I understood Sterling. I
use Phonak. They call my "necklace" the Compilot. I have never been
able to use earbuds since I had my hearing loss.<BR>Janicebud.<BR>

<DIV dir=ltr>Gerardo,
<DIV>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. </DIV>

listers<BR>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.<SPAN class=HOEnZb><FONT color=#888888><BR><BR>--
