As for me as I don't use hearing aids but I"m starting to loose the sharpness of sounds, is there anything I can do besides volume to adjust the eq of skype to make it not sound like mumbling? I know the hand set mode does sound a bit crisper at least to my ears but if I am ever on speaker is there anything those of us loosing the fidelity of sound can do if we don't want to use aids? Take care all. and p.s. I did call it hear phone button. Replace it with what ever that button is called the first time you click it. as now the movements come naturally to me I can't remember. Here is a tutorial done by a friend of mine on skype and live to explain how to get it to speaker. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1672188/how_to_go_to_speaker_on_ios.mp3 Ok I'm done here for now. My fingers are tired from typing. Take care all.
