    Transcence phone app

    https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/transcense-finally-talk-with-any-deaf-person Has anyone heard of this app. They say they are making it possible to be part of conversations using phones to translate speech to text - in other words - using the phones to caption group discussion and meetings...

    Great smartphones for hard of hearing people

    That's a lot of info GQ. Thank you. It is interesting what you have to say about the iphone having a good range for H of H. I understand that the iphone is not hearing aid compatible! I am looking at the Blackberry Curve or Bold and the HTC Hero. I have tried out the Blackberry and the sound...

    Torn between HTC Hero and Blackberry Curve 8530...what to do now?

    Thanks Militarygirl and SG. You know, I hate that they don't have phones that can be tried out unless a staff person owns one. The sound qualtiy on the iphone was dreadful! Really bad. The Blackberry was ok - I liked the HTC I used, but I wasn't able to try out the one in the store. Guess I'll...

    New iPhone 4

    OK, I scanned the thread up to page 24 and I haven't found an answer to what I am wondering. I am going to get a new phone. I have been using an HTC for a few years - it's ok but now broken. I thought I would get an iphone - but I understand it is not hearing aid compatible. I am disappointed -...

    Torn between HTC Hero and Blackberry Curve 8530...what to do now?

    How is the sound clarity for the HTC Hero? I went to Telus and was told that it was not a very good phone. Made me wonder - since I have had an HTC for almost 3 years and up until I dropped it, it was pretty good. I am getting a new phone and the salesman was really pushing the Blackberry Bold...

    Don't forget 'Sweet Nothing in My Ear' starts in 30 minutes!

    I absolutely agree. The "dubbing" just about ruined it for me. I mean - yeah - I use captioning and hearing people most likely wouldn't - but subtitles are pretty much standard when translating language for film. Why on earth was this different?! It just didn't provide an accurate portrayal. I...

    Responding to hatred

    Geez - I am really distressed to learn that this happened in Toronto! :( I'm from Toronto - been out for 40 years and I have never once been taunted or heckled in public. Course - it's always possible that I didn't hear it! :dunno: But I have not heard of that happening recently (in the last few...

    Hearing Aid "Jewelry"

    Thank you for this Boult. I see she is still claiming it was her concept and her designs. I spent $80,000 developing Earwear in 1992 and it just toddles along making about $1200 a year. I will never get my investment back but I continue to sell them cause it is a good thing to do. She is...

    Hearing Aid "Jewelry"

    Vallee - did you see the T-shirts? They are so funny! And I got a button for my hearing ear guide dog that says "Meet me after work for some heavy petting" Really funny - though not big enough - people are always trying to pet him! It really is a great site! Is there a forum here to share...

    Hearing Aid "Jewelry"

    Thanks so much for the link Brian. It actually looks like she is selling my pieces! (the website says she is distributing Earwear - which I have the trademark for) - so I guess that those must be mine!) My company is called Earwear, and I did sell quite a bit to an audiologist about 5 years...

    Hearing Aid "Jewelry"

    I was wondering about that becauseI am a jewellery artist and I have made some hearing aid jewellery for myself. I have done some selling online - not much and I don't market it, so it's been word of mouth - but I did wonder about this product that is mentioned in the post above. I was...

    Frustrated With Audiologist!!

    ange26s - I think you have an amazing attitude here and have been the best advocate for your daughter! :applause: I cannot add much to what has already been said. Total communication is, I believe - the best way to start her off in life. She will naturally gravitate towards what is easiest for...
