I tried to register today as a seller (long time buyer) with ebay and I couldn't believe that the only way to register as a seller is to use a phone. No work around for deaf people, nothing! Unbelievable. How are they getting away with this. No email address to send in a complaint or even ask a...

:hmm:

Just a few points of note here that might help you. When the surgeons choose which ear to implant first (this is what I was told anyway), they always pick the best ear, or ear with most potential to hear well. The best ear was determined by tests they have carried out. You are very soon after...

Great stuff, well done!

I suppose if they are turned on and are not doing anything, then they are just wasting battery and you might as well turn them off.

Just bugging me here. What does "grandfathered" mean?

Fairly annoying alright. If only they were all the same it would make it easier. Sorry I don't think it's possible.

Perhaps this device, or similar, may be adapted to do what you want. It doesn't specifically alert people to mobile phones. But if your phone sounded like a door bell, for example, then you may be able to use it. https://www.deafhear.ie/DeafHear/product.html?who=202
