[Nfb-krafters-korner] books

Hi Annette -- I can relate to the hearing aid issue as I have the same 
problem -- but I am glad to be able to still use over-the-ear headphones. 
There are also headphones that fit behind the ear that I can position just 
next to my hearing aid mike, thus not covering my whole ear. They are like 
ear buds with a head brace.  You wouldn't think these would work, but they 
do.  I think they were intended to fit in the ear, but since I have behind 
the ear hearing aids with the mike above my ear I just move the ear pieces 
back and it works.
Happy listening.

I would love to have the time to sit all day reading books and knitting or
crocheting.  I use both a BookPort and a I-Pod Nano.  I listen while I'm
crafting, commuting or doing housework.  I've always hated the cord of the
headset.  There have been times when my yarn has gotten all tangled up in
the headset and I had to just shove it all in my bag so that I could get off
of the train with out missing my stop.  Well now I have a Bluetooth headset
and a Bluetooth transmitter that I can use with both the BookPort and I-Pod,
as well as any other device that can make use of a traditional wired
headset.  I can move around 30 feet away from the book player and have no
wires to get tangled up in.  I now have a sports sleeve for my I-pod and I
can wear it on my upper arm while wearing the Bluetooth headset and freely
move all over the house while doing work.

Since I use my BookPort to read my patterns, I'm really loving this
Bluetooth set up.  There is one down side to this set up, everything needs
to be charged.  The Bluetooth headset I have can also be used in a corded
set up.  So if the Bluetooth transmitter runs out of a charge, I can
continue listening via a cord and no need to carry a back up headset.  Now
if the headset runs out of charge, well I'm out of luck.  I miss the days
when I could use ear buds.  Now that I wear hearing aids, ear buds and many
headsets are out of the question.

Hmmm, that would be quite a movie.  I just downloaded the Ann Hood book.  I
haven't read the quilters books yet.  Well, we are all into the books. Does
everyone do some kind of craft as they read?

I have to admit, today I did nothing much. Just finished a book. lol
