Hi 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>

<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>
