[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT hearing aid accessory

Wed May 7 17:35:47 UTC 2014

That is very interesting, Becky!  I might need to get some, some day.  Some people I have no trouble with and others, do not talk loud enough.  
I have trouble with conference rooms, and most of the time, people do not talk up and a mike is not used.

Deb, if you have't had hearing aides before, be fully aware that you will have to go back to the audiologist several times to get a setting, mixing of sounds, That works for only you in various settings. I went back probably five six times to get this setting I just adore. I can hear in restaurants around the table, hear at seminars, hear in doctor's offices, shopping with friends etc. I can't figure out if everyone is talking at once like at parties with music and what I call white noise. But corner a small group at that same party and I can hear, lol. 

I hated my hearing aide at first. It made me so mad. It sounded like I was in a box, growl. Then someone told me to go back to the audiologist. That second set of adjustments was better, but still, growl. Oh I was so unhappy when we went to the symphony and they sounded like high school practice was on.  I was ready to throw them away. Now music still doesn't sound right, but it is better. 

So it won't be perfect in all situations. So what was important to me is what my audiologist and I worked on. I love my hearing aide now, smile.

Becky and the complaining Jake , Cants gets away with nothin', sniff.

I'm getting the Odicons.  They are in the ear with a piece that goes over the ear.
