RE: Hearing aids and HomePods

2023-12-25 Thread Richard
Max,

I have found hearing aids do use the same Bluetooth arrangement and frequencies 
that other audio devices use. I fear you cannot use two audio devices at the 
same time. It is at least possible that the app that manages your hearing aid 
connection to your iPhone could allow some flexibility. 
* Your audiologist might have useful information and your hearing aids might be 
more flexible than mine. 
* Apple telephone accessibility technical support could also help. The phone 
number is 1-877-204-3930. Others on the list may know of a text-based option if 
texting them is better for you..

I hope you find a satisfactory solution.

Subject: Hearing aids and HomePods

Hi all,
yesterday being Christmas day here we wanted to listen to some Christmas music 
from a radio station on our HomePods using my iPhone.
I held my phone near the HomePods to transfer the program to them. This would 
not work I felt the vibration that normally indicates the transfer process 
should occur. 
So no music!
Thismorning Tuesday I thought I would try again. However I had not turned on my 
hearing aids before trying connect the phone and the HomePods. All worked as 
you would expect.
So it appears that I can’t play music from my phone if I have already turned on 
my hearing aids. I do have the aids connected to the phone via bluetooth.  It 
was my understanding that aids connected on a different frequency to normal 
bluetooth. Could others try and replicate this and let us know there findings 
before I contact Disability support.
Thanks for any ideas.
Max.

Re: New hearing aids and blue tooth

2023-12-19 Thread Anna Dresner
Hello Maria,

With my Starkey hearing aids, when I open the settings, there's a control 
called Audio Routing. It opens a screen with options for controlling what audio 
goes where. I would suggest seeing if you have these settings and working with 
them if you do. I hope you can find settings you like.

All the best,
Anna

RE: Lexie Bose Lumen, B1 or B2 Hearing Aids

With the Lexie Bose unit, the user is supposed to be able to make adjustments 
across the bandwidth of the hearing aid, a little like an equalizers on audio 
devices. The big unknown for me right now is how accessible those controls are 
in IOS.

* They operate using an IOS app. Whether the app is compatible with Voice Over 
and whether its audio will stream by Bluetooth will be important. 
* At least the B2 is supposed to stream phone audio to the hearing aids, 
although it's not clear whether Voice over speech will  stream using Bluetooth.
* These units, although expensive, although far less costly than prescription 
hearing aids.

I  ran a Google search for Lexie, IOS, and Voice Over, although there were no

QVC has the Lexie B2 on sale, but They're still expensive. QVC says they can be

I will appreciate any information from users, if available on this list.

RE: hearing aids and iPhone

2023-10-29 Thread Paula Jordan
I have Starke hearing aids which I can pair to my phone.  I have two settings 
under audio routing.  The “call audio” setting is for phone calls. The “media” 
setting is for sounds on the phone.  I usually keep my call audio setting 
paired since I find it easier to hear phone calls through my aids.  I typically 
keep my media audio setting turned off unless I’m doing something like writing 
a text or playing a game when I’m out and about and don’t want to disturb 
others around me.  It is quite easy to pair and unpair the aids.  The setting 
is on my phone under accessibility.  The only small drawback with having the 
phone calls paired is that I can’t call my phone from another device if I’ve 
mislaid it since it rings through my aids so I can’t use the ringing to locate 
my phone.  I’ve solved this by telling Siri to tell me a story.  I can usually 
hear the speaker and find the phone that way. Good luck with your hearing aids. 
I put mine in as soon as I get up in the morning and take them out  the last 
thing at night.

God bless!

Hi,

I am plunging into the world of hearing aids.  While it’s mostly because I have 
difficulty with quiet voices and loud environments, the guy who will set up my 
aids did tell me they can connect to my phone. I’m assuming most sighted people 
only connect theirs when listening to a book or music; that is what the guy 
made it sound like.  I’m trying to get my head around  what that is like for 
voice over users.  Do you leave hearing aids always connected to the phone?   
Sometimes I’m on my phone and want to show my sighted family something.  Would 
I have to turn off the hearing aid connection to let them hear the audio from 
the phone?  They guy told me I’d have 4 to 5 programs set for different 
contexts.  Any recommendations of things I should ask when I go in to have the 
programs set up for the aids?  

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Robin

Re: hearing aids and iPhone

2023-10-29 Thread Anna Dresner
Hi Robin,

I like having my hearing aids paired with my phone. It means I can check 
notifications or text someone silently without putting on headphones, which can 
be convenient. I turn off Bluetooth when I want others to be able to hear my 
phone.

Cheers,
Anna

RE: hearing aids and iPhone

2023-10-29 Thread Carolyn Arnold
I have Oticon hearing aids with MFI (made for iPhone) capability. I do have to 
turn off Bluetooth, say for Jim to talk to my daughter-in-law, because if I 
don't, and I'm anywhere close to him, her conversation will come through my 
hearing aids. 

My sighted sister and husband both got hearing aids at the same time, always 
use Bluetooth, as does my other sighted sister. 

One time, the sister and husband were up in the morning, and her phone rang. 
She couldn't hear a thing, but he could. They'd gotten their hearing aids mixed 
up! He had on hers, and she had on his. We got a lot of laugh mileage out of 
that one. 

So, yes, both my sighted sisters keep theirs on Bluetooth to their hearing 
aids.

Re: How to pair hearing aids with the iPhone?

2022-11-11 Thread regina alvarado
Kay, I don’t have resound hearing aids, but if they are MFI certified, they should pair automatically. Perhaps there’s a setting that your hearing aids have to be in. I belong to a group of blind hearing aid users. I can ask there for you, but perhaps it’s the resounds you have. When I pair my oticons they automatically pair for me. Try the regular Bluetooth just in case that’s how they pair. I will check on the other list for you because I know  that some of the people have resound. Hopefully someone here has them also. On Nov 10, 2022, at 10:01 PM, Kay Malmquist  wrote:

Question about Dice world sounds and hearing aids

2021-05-27 Thread Johna Gravitt
Hello,
My husband has hearing aids and plays dice world on his iPhone.  Nothing he 
does makes the sounds for dice world run through his hearing aids, while all 
other sounds do.
Any suggestions?
He's tried the audio routing in the rotter and that didn't work either.

Re: Question about Bluetooth, hearing aids, and Bluetooth phone set.

2019-12-13 Thread Lisa Belville
Carolyn, you can still use the phone if the headset is plugged in and 
not using Bluetooth.  I usually have my phone in my pocket and most of 
the time, people can hear me just fine.  I'm not sure if the microphone 
on the headset works when there's no Bluetooth, but you might want to 
give it a try.

Subject: Re: Question about Bluetooth, hearing aids, and Bluetooth phone set.

Carolyn, You may need to decide when to use the Miccus as a Bluetooth headset and 
when not to. You can still use the headset and get some noise canceling but you won't 
have any Bluetooth functions.  I have had this headset for nearly a year and I do 
this all of the time if the battery needs recharging, but I'm too into a book and 
don't want to stop long enough to charge the headset. 


Mine came with an additional connection cable so I could connect the headset 
via the SE's headphone Jack.  The cable connects to the round jack on the right 
ear and the other end connects to the phone's headphone jack or to a lightening 
port adapter if you have a newer phone without a headphone jack.  .  If you do 
this while the headset is powered off, it behaves like a normal wired headset.  
You can use the headset to listen to audio, make and receive calls, etc.  The 
downside to this is that the headset needs to be powered off, so none of the 
hands-free functions you get when the headset is on and using Bluetooth will 
work.  You need to use the phone's home or side button to summon Siri to make 
calls.  Likewise you can't use the media buttons on the right ear to pause or 
resume audio, you'd need to wake the phone up to stop or pause.


Depending on how often you use your headphones or how often you need to take 
calls while listening with them, this method could work without needing to pair 
or re-pair your hearing aids or the headset.  It could get kind of confusing 
and inconvenient, though, but it could be an option.


Hope this helps.

Question about Bluetooth, hearing aids, and Bluetooth phone set.

2019-12-12 Thread Carolyn
I bought a Bluetooth for my phone that I really like. 

In order to get it connected, I turn off my hearing aids and
get in another room; it comes on fine. It does everything it
is supposed to do.

But, now, here is my question. When I get my hearing aids
back on, they pair too. I do not want the hearing aids to
pair, when my Miccus device is paired, but I really need my
hearing aids in order to function. 

So, anyone have any idea what to do to keep the hearing aids
from coming on when I turn on the phone one other than going
into Hearing and disconnecting them, then, when I need my
daily tinnitus treatment, I'd have to pair the hearing aids
again, and when treatment through, disconnect again? Surely,
there is a better way. What do you think, please?

V13.2 and issue with hearing aids

2019-11-06 Thread Terri Hedgpeth
Hello all,

I went to my Audiologist today and we phoned the Audicon tech support person
that works with the providers and they have heard of the issue of VO still
playing through the hearing aids but not the screen clicks and beeps. The
Bluetooth team says that the issue is with Apple choosing what to allow to
be pushed through to the hearing aids. So, please all of you with hearing
aids, please complain to Apple about this issue. I believe the tech folks at
Audicon because others on this list are having the same issue with various
different brands of Has. 

Best,

Terri Hedgpeth, Ed.D.

hi,
thanks for your reply. I did forget the phone and reconnected. it and it does 
work with one problem. When I hang up a call the phone does not release the 
aids correctly. I now have Apple Access-ability looking into the problem.
Thanks for the idea.

RE: Anyone who uses hearing aids, please read

2019-07-31 Thread Tony
Out of close to a dozen audiologists I have worked with only one really took 
the time to insure I had good aids.  He worked for the VA and kept up with the 
news releases for various companies.  He also talked with company engineers on 
a regular basis.  He took the time to explain why a particular aid was best for 
me and replaced my aids early if a significant improvement had been made.  
Unfortunately he retired. And his replacement, who was nearly as good, also 
retired shortly later.  I have audiologist tell me I don’t need features that 
would help me.  One questioned the amount of support equipment I had and didn’t 
believe me when I told her it wears out in months.  When I told her she had 
programmed my aids incorrectly, she walked out of the room without saying 
anything.

 

I have a pair of Resound aids that are great for some things especially working 
with the computer.  I also have an old pair of Phonak aids that work better in 
some situations.  I usually wear one of each.  I have the computer work through 
the Resound and the phone through the Phonak.  

 

I have never tried the Resound app.  Too many people do not consider multiple 
handicaps.

So, how many of you who use or are considering the ReSound brand have 
used that contact link I posted a few times already? The bad news is, 
ReSound is not an American company, so there's no compulsion for them to 
be interested in accessibility. Since that appears to be the case, I'm 
voting with my feet, as they say, and attempting to find another brand. 
If I have to find another audiologist to do that, I will.

Hi, 
 
Dear Lynda & List:
Sounds as if Resound needs to explain it to Mr. Justice over at the U. S. 
Courthouse. Anyone like writing a formal Com[plaint letter to the D. O. J., 
Special Litigation Section, Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington DC? A nearby 
landmark is The White House at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW.
 
I would start the fun, but am not an American, nor do I own any Resound Hearing 
Aids. So, Mr. Justice will likely say I have no standing, and cannot file an 
action against them at his Courthouse.
Brian K. Lingard
In 2020, be certain to vote for Anyone but Trump! Make Trump a One-Term 
President!
I am a long-time hearing aid user. I have had resound hearing aids in the past. 
The lack of accessibility and commitment to fix it has been a long-standing 
problem. Last year I purchased new hearing aids from Oticon. Not only does the 
sound quality blow Resound right out of the water, the accessibility of their 
app is considerably better. 
 
When my audiologist was helping me select new hearing aids, she mentioned that 
she had attended a conference where there was limited discussion regarding 
accessibility of apps for individuals who are blind/visually impaired and using 
hearing aids. If my memory serves me right, she mentioned that Apple was 
working with several hearing aid companies to make sure pairing of the hearing 
aids went as smoothly as possible. May I suggest you contact Apple 
Accessibility to see which hearing aid companies they are working with on this 
project.

Dear Steve & List:
Pack your 5440, take the 09:14 to Dodge, and let them have it at High Noon!
Resound never considered that anyone with a vision problem would be prescribed 
their hearing aids. 

Or visit the DOJ. Take the Uptown "E" from 23 St. Station to Penn Station. Then 
the Acela to DC Union Station. Not cheap, First Class is $455 each way. Think 
Amtrak sells monthly Acela tickets. 
Rachel and I Safaried to Washington DC Union Station one day to visit a friend 
of mine by the Acela. She loved the lack of screaming kids,  complimentary 
Coffee, O. J. etc. in the Metropolitan Lounge just for First Class travelers. 
Asked about the fare and almost died. Said we could have flown for that. Liked 
the comp. headphones and hot meal with the works.

One un-advertised perk of First-Class Amtrak is the bar is bottomless! One of 
their agents said if this were advertised, the W. C. T. U. would lobby Congress 
to pass The Volstead Act II.

Friend of mine living in my building was told The Blue Rinse Mob leave their 
meeting at their venue, Willard Hall, and promptly proceed to Mickey Finn's Bar 
& Grill across the street!
He said they sure do! And they enjoy the bar!
He said they are all hypocrites.

Absolutely correct. And the salespeople are equally as clueless. They even 
recommended I contact my phone carrier for support. And the stupid audiologist 
who sold me these otherwise fine devices agreed with them, saying he thought it 
was the best idea! Wait until I go back for my first follow-up on the 13th and 
tell him the interest I've aroused on this list! I hope all you Resound users 
are carrying the flag over to the Resound people and letting them know we're 
out here and something needs to be done. Of course, we don't have to get 
militant on them, or in the words of a set of books I just finished reading, we 
don't have to get western on them (LOL), but we're out here, and equal access 
isn't just an idea any more.

I think someone posted that there was a  blind hearing aid list. Could someone 
post the link to it please?

Better yet. I’d appreciate suggestions on hearing ids that met our 
accessibility needs since I’m probably going to get a hearing aid for my left

Absolutely correct. And the salespeople are equally as clueless. They 
even recommended I contact my phone carrier for support. And the stupid 
audiologist who sold me these otherwise fine devices agreed with them, 
saying he thought it was the best idea! Wait until I go back for my 
first follow-up on the 13th and tell him the interest I've aroused on 
this list! I hope all you ReSound users are carrying the flag over to 
the ReSound people and letting them know we're out here and something 
needs to be done. Of course, we don't have to get militant on them, or 
in the words of a set of books I just finished reading, we don't have to 
get western on them (LOL), but we're out here, and equal access isn't 
just an idea any more.

to help people with hearing loss but you don't make your app accessible. All I 
have gotten told is they are working on it. I'll believe that when I see it. I 
have a Racing app that gives the results for all the car races all over the US 
and that app is accessible. I don't believe there would be too many blind 
people using that app but they can make it accessible but Resound cannot make 
there app accessible.

It is not just those aids.  I too have Resounds and their app has always
been inaccessible.  What would be nice is if we could get a group of blind
Resound hearing aid users together to speak with a Resound rep.  My
audiologist says she can contact someone that works there to work with me
specifically, but I wonder if we might meet with them and nicely explain
what is going on and work on a fix?

Re: Anyone who uses hearing aids, please read

2019-07-26 Thread Steve Matzura
What you can do is write to ReSound via their contact form and let them 
know you're out here and need their developer to get with the program 
regarding accessibility. This has to be a very focused approach, 
otherwise there's no point in contacting half a dozen different people 
who can't do anything for us. If this guy Matthew Oslund hears from all 
of us with same or similar issues, it has more of an impact on the 
developer when he/she/they get(s) to hear about it. It sounded to me 
like that development is not done by ReSound, that it's jobbed out to 
another company, and until we have direct contact with that other 
company, we have to go through channels, as they say, and the channel we 
should use is the ReSound contact form.

This model is controllable from an iOS device, but wouldn't ya know it,
turn VoiceOver on, and everything just falls over. The Smart-3D

automatically changes programs (hearing-aid profiles) in a round-robin
fashion without any human interaction and with no way to stop it, and
there are two on-screen buttons which are unlabeled and unresponsive
when double-tapped. Of course I wrote to the manufacturer with details
of the problem, and I got a very nice reply that said in essence that my

course, those messages always sound like black holes to me, so I thought
I'd take my troubles to the best place of which I could think--this

Get thee to the ReSound contact form, tell them you're about to get some 
of their product, and you want it to be accessible by the time you get it.



Come on, people, what does it take to get you to fill out a simple 
contact form and tell these people that what they're doing is not kosher.

I too have these Resound aids and the app is not accessible. I have spoken to 
the Resound tech numerous times in MN and have told them you make hearing aids 
to help people with hearing loss but you don't make your app accessible. All I 
have gotten told is they are working on it. I'll believe that when I see it. I 
have a Racing app that gives the results for all the car races all over the US 
and that app is accessible. I don't believe there would be too many blind 
people using that app but they can make it accessible but Resound cannot make 
there app accessible.

Steve,

You might consider subscribing to the BlindHearingAidUsers group by sending a

blindhearingaidusers+subscr...@groups.io 

My understanding is that they have a lot of sharp folks on that list.

If you can find someone who can do a meeting, I'd recommend setting up a 
Zoom meeting, since you can do that for free for a group and the meeting can 
be up to 40 minutes or so I think.
I'm not there yet, but I suspect I will have to get hearing aids before too

Re: Anyone who uses hearing aids, please read

2019-07-25 Thread Richard Turner
If you can find someone who can do a meeting, I'd recommend setting up a Zoom 
meeting, since you can do that for free for a group and the meeting can be up 
to 40 minutes or so I think.
I'm not there yet, but I suspect I will have to get hearing aids before too 
long.

Voice OCR and MFI hearing aids

Sent feedback to the developer about not getting speech into my blue tooth 
hearing aids, but switching to my phone speaker while inside the app.


He sent me an email this morning saying he will fix this bug in the next 
update, which will be coming soon.


Just wanted to let anyone else, who was having this issue, know about the 
coming fix.

Carolyn, what I'm getting ready to tell you may not work, in fact, you may 

have already tried it already. Hardware and software can be strange and not 

work, so here's what I had to do with something a bit more simpler, having 

to do with a bluetooth keyboard. But I could not get that thing to pare and 

it was setting right in the bluetooth devices. So I turned the bluetooth 

keyboard off, and I decided to tell the iphone to forget about the device. 

then I turned the bluetooth on the iphone, off and then back on. and then I 

turned the bluetooth keyboard back on, and the iphone was ready to pare. It 

gave me a code to type in on the bluetooth keyboard, and I typed it in, and 

hit enter and I was done. It began working perfectly then. Give that  a try, 

and if that doesn't work I'll see what I could do to come up with something 

else. I hope it works for you.

Carolyn, turning bluetooth off and back on or restarting the phone might not 
work. Even the instructions I gave you, might not work. If you tried them and 
they didn't work, then unless I come up with something else before you go to 
the audiologist, hopefully they could solve it. If you do try the instructions, 
I hope they work.
If you need help with the instructions, let me know.

Carolyn,

My wife has the Otticon hearing aids and she pairs it through the accessibility 
settings. Go to settings, general, accessibility, MFI hearing device. Click on 
Otticon1. There should be a button that shows up to pair. You need to do the 
left and right aids separately.

Hope this helps.

have already tried it already. Hardware and software can be strange and not 

work, so here's what I had to do with something a bit more simpler, having 

to do with a bluetooth keyboard. But I could not get that thing to pare and 

it was setting right in the bluetooth devices. So I turned the bluetooth 

keyboard off, and I decided to tell the iphone to forget about the device. 

then I turned the bluetooth on the iphone, off and then back on. and then I 

turned the bluetooth keyboard back on, and the iphone was ready to pare. It 

gave me a code to type in on the bluetooth keyboard, and I typed it in, and 

hit enter and I was done. It began working perfectly then. Give that  a try, 

and if that doesn't work I'll see what I could do to come up with something 

else. I hope it works for you.

I put in new batteries. It must have paired with them, named them Oticon, 

said zero percent, but I can't get Bluetooth connected with my aids either 

in Bluetooth or in MFI. I am afraid I'm going to have to end up going to the 

audiologists - most inconvenient at this particular time in my life. Thanks

Oh yes. They are compatible. I've been using them with Bluetooth for three and 
a half months.

Hi Carolyn.
Have you tried opening the battery doors and then closing them just before you 
pair them under MFi devices? So, before you go into settings on your phone, 
turn the aids off and back on. This should put them in discoverable mode. Are 
you sure your hearing aids are MFi compatible?

That did not work. I could not get Bluetooth on. It is Bluetooth that is the 
glitch here.

Scott

Hi Wayne,

That’s a great suggestion.  I forgot to mention that to Carolyn.  I often have 
to do this when I cannot get something paired.

Carolyn, what I'm getting ready to tell you may not work, in fact, you may 
have already tried it already. Hardware and software can be strange and not 
work, so here's what I had to do with something a bit more simpler, having 
to do with a bluetooth keyboard. But I could not get that thing to pare and 
it was setting right in the bluetooth devices. So I turned the bluetooth 
keyboard off, and I decided to tell the iphone to forget about the device. 
then I turned the bluetooth on the iphone, off and then back on. and then I 
turned the bluetooth keyboard back on, and the iphone was ready to pare. It 
gave me a code to type in on the bluetooth keyboard, and I typed it in, and 
hit enter and I was done. It began working perfectly then. Give that  a try, 
and if that doesn't work I'll see what I could do to come up with something 
else. I hope it works for you.

Hi Carolyn,

 

One more point.  I was never advised to open my aids when pairing them.  Also, 
Bluetooth can be finicky.  Often, I need to perform the pairing process on a 
device more than once before it takes.

MFI Hearing Aids and Pairing

2019-06-15 Thread Les
Hi Carolyn,

One more point.  I was never advised to open my aids when pairing them.  Also, 
Bluetooth can be finicky.  Often, I need to perform the pairing process on a 
device more than once before it takes.

Re: Pairing hearing aids to phone.

2019-06-15 Thread Les Kriegler
Well, if you already haven’t done so, try powering off your phone. Then power 
off the aids. Power the aids back on and start the phone and try the process 
again.

Pairing hearing aids to phone.

2019-06-15 Thread Carolyn Arnold
For some reason, yesterday, when I wanted to use my music
program, my hearing aids were not paired, and on two
separate occasions, I tried to pair them again. Anyone have
an idea what I could be doing wrong. 

I go to MFI Hearing. I turn on Bluetooth, I slightly open my
aids, but so far, I haven't been able to get them paired,
and I don't know if I need to open them or not. 

I just tried one more time, but I could not make it happen.

RE: Hearing aids locking up when streaming media or telephone

2019-03-16 Thread Carolyn Arnold
It does, and I knew that going in. Interesting that the Resound and the Oticon 
engineer seem frustrated about some conflict with VoiceOver and Blue Tooth. It 
could be a rather common problem. I suspect that through the years, it will 
improve. 

It would be nice if you could set it for automatic or manual. I'd prefer 
manual, because if the Blue Tooth really worked, I'd want it most of the time. 
One thing about it though, is that it uses more battery from phone and from 
hearing aids. 

Best regards,

Carolyn

Hi All,
Here is what I figured out today on my Resound aid. First of all aids when 
connecting to media, VO and telephone use Apples Hearing software MFI. So here 
is what happens. When I have my iPhone set for phone calls to come into my aids 
that part works well. But when I end the call my aids drop back to the aids. 
But when I make any gestures on the iPhone VO is still connecting to my aids 
even though I have that turned off. The only way to get VO not to go into my 
aids or stop if from doing that I have to go into the control panel and set it 
back to the iPhone instead of the hearing aids. Normally what is suppose to 
happen is when I am done with a call everything is suppose to go back to the 
iPhone but VO does not. This is a known issues with VO users. People who do not 
use VO do not have this issue. The Resound tech told me Apple has to make a 
change for this to be corrected. So if you have VO going into your aids all the 
time you will not have a problem. The issue is I don't want VO to go to my aids 
after the call has ended. I want it to come out the iPhone speaker and this is 
what is not working correctly. I have to manually go in and change this every 
time after a phone call. 
I hope this makes some sense to all of you hearing aid users.

Hi Carolyn:

I think you should put up a fight.  They didn't tell you ahead of time that 
they would not be compatible with your iPhone and voice over.

That is a lot of money for something that doesn't do what you were expecting.

That was the great thing about Costco.  You have six months to return them for 
a full refund if you are not satisfied for any reason.

I hope this makes some sense to all of you hearing aid users.

Hi Carolyn:

I think you should put up a fight.  They didn't tell you ahead of time that 
they would not be compatible with your iPhone and voice over.

That is a lot of money for something that doesn't do what you were 
expecting.

That was the great thing about Costco.  You have six months to return them 
for a full refund if you are not satisfied for any reason.

RE: Hearing aids locking up when streaming media or telephone

I do have 30 days. I might ask him about an alternative. 

My cousin has Resound that she got from Hearing Aid Express. She has had hers 
for eight years, realizes that probably her hearing loss is not as much as 
mine, but she is really happy with them. 

Best regards,

Carolyn

The audiologist talked to the Oticon engineer, and I have the impression that 
when he got to blind, that did it. The engineer said it would not be compatible 
with VoiceOver. It does work, but there is an echo for my calling party. I can 
use my old headset just fine. I just hate to have paid for something I can't 
really use, feel like I am entitled to some kind of refund, but, of course, 
that is like feeling like I should be able to fly to the grocery store too. 

Best regards,

Carolyn

Hi Carolyn:

Mine are Rexton brand from Costco.  I have never had any problem with VO. 
The only problem I have is when I am using a blue tooth keyboard to type a text 
and it is sitting close to my iPhone.  Then there is a lot of static in the 
aids.  Other than that, they work perfectly for everything else...phone calls, 
TV wireless, etc..

What do they plan to do to resolve your problem?
