I'm pretty borderline for using the Naidas since the only benefit is environmental awareness, not speech recognition.
Yeah, I get nothing in the form of speech. Well...I can hear it but it doesn't make sense. Sometimes I can make the odd words out if I know the person, like my mom, but that is very rare.

Do you sign? How long have you had your Naidas for?
