And now, the last one for today – I must update you on the state of my technology.\u00a0 And I strongly encourage you to talk to your own audiologist about what’s out there for you!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As you may remember, Wonderful Audiologist went to a Business Convention back in the Spring.\u00a0 The little “boots” made for the Siemens hearing aids didn’t work well with the FM system.\u00a0 Siemens told Wonderful Audiologist they were coming out with a new controller in May and that would eliminate the need for the boots.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sure enough, they did!\u00a0 It’s called the “Mini-Tek” and it’s changed everything!\u00a0 Not only does the FM system work now, it has Bluetooth and I can wirelessly connect to anything with Bluetooth.\u00a0 That means my cell phone, my iPad, my computer, to name a few.<\/p>\n
The FM works with an audio cable and brings in sounds from pretty much everything else I can think of. I even have a little tiny device that sends the TV sound into my hearing aids.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
These devices can’t give me hearing I don’t have, particularly speech comprehension, \u00a0but bringing the sound right into my hearing aids and bypassing outside noise sure gives me a better shot at figuring sounds out. Even if I don’t understand what I’m hearing, I have the illusion of hearing things, which makes things more enjoyable.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Technology, have I told you lately that I love you?\u00a0 And you, too, Darling Hubby and Wonderful Audiologist!\u00a0 Thanks for being there and not giving up on me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
