Hello. I got a mackie vlz4 a few weeks ago. Its a 4 channel, and very impressed 
with it. It have a very clean sound and the mike pre amps are great. I use mine 
for podccasting and such. It was very important for me to get something that 
can handle both dynamic and condenser mikes equally well. That is one of the 
things I have against behringer that their components are not so good.

Re: can a blind person repair headphones that have a short in them?

[Robert Williams]

Sometimes there may be little fix it shops in your town that might be able to 
help you. However, if you are not used a soddering gun, i suggest purchasing a 
new pair, the cost of the repair might be more than what the headphones are 
worth.

can a blind person repair headphones that have a short in them?

[joanne]

One side of my headphones works, but the other side won't play unless I push on 
and move the wire right above the end piece.  So since it can work if it's 
moved a certain way and isn't totally out of commission, has anyone ever 
repaired a set of headphones?  I saw some fixes that involve using tools but 
didn't know if there might be a simpler way.

Hi!

I’m wanting a headset that has separate plugs for microphone and 
headphones as I’ll be using such a thing with Skype and the new 
Android Set Top Box I’ve been reporting on over the last few days.


I’ve never purchased one of these before so no idea whatever what 
to look or even search for.


I’m sure there are people out there using this combination of 
headset rather than a USB type so perhaps if they’re willing they 
could share their experiences? I’d imagine such headsets are rather 
cheap to start with.

No argument from me, I'm only going on what audio profoessionals are 
telling me.


Again I don't know whether its country specific or not but less hearing 
instrument models are bening manufactured with T-Coil facilities or 
physical connections and we've discussed some of the reasons for that 
here already so no point going over it again.


As far as mr Mosen is concerned? He's entitled to his view just like we

A few points.

I do not know where you get the idea that  induction loop systems are being
phased out.  Definitely not in developing countries.  I will not go further
into this matter as it is beyond the scope of this list.

Jonathan motion stated quite correctly that the most ifficient way to
connect hearing aids to any audio source is by using direct cabling.  Most
wireless systems seem to have latency issues - that is most definitely the
case with  Bluetooth.

Finally - all the hearing aid manufacturers that make hearing aids with
wireless capability make ones without this extra.  However, they have an
induction loop coil in them and  also have the ability to   fit some kind of
adaptor to enable direct audio input.  In developing countries which as far
as I know still comprises most of the world you will find that people wear
the cheaper modelsof hearing aids mostly as this is all that you can get.  I
am very fortunate that I am on a good medical plan which can assist me to
purchase the right equipment.  But this is not the case for most people in
Eastern Europe, South America and Asia.

Okay well Bluetooth is certainly not in the luxury hearing instruments, its
common place in hearing isntruments now as other technologies are being
fazed out such as induction.

I've been using Bluetooth hearing instruments now for over 6 years, they
were bolky affairs at first requiring a whole heap of connection boxes and
adapters but now? Well the typical hearing instruments have Bluetooth built
right into them ready and raring to go.

Other wireless technologies can be used with hearing instruments when
Bluetooth isn't the answer.

As far as Apple not caring about Hearing Instruments? May I suggest you read
the documents on the Web that talk in detail about the commitment and
consideration Apple has given to the users of Hearing Instruments, Deaf and
Deaf-blind people.

I should also point out that we in Australia are extremely fortunate at
present when it comes to hearing instruments as those on a low income can
have their hearing instruments funded which I did at one time though I've
since moved to a private fitter as there is obviously more choice available.

Yes some of the rolls Royce hearing aids have wireless connectivity
but very few people have the money to purchase them.

But I suppose this segment of the market is so small that Apple does
not really care.

The problem with all this forward thinking is that it leaves the
hearing impaired out. Jonathan Mosen has done some very good writing on

this topic.

I personally have the equipment to deal with the loss of the headphone

jack.

But in thinking of what it will mean for others, I think it is a
stupid idea at this time and, if it is just to make the damned phone a
hair thinner, it is clearly not worth it and is just another  money-making

angle for Apple.

But this one is coming at the expense of a fairly  large and growing
segment of the population.
