Hello, found this site looking for information on my Soundgate 1.4 (Bernafon) device and PS3 so I can Bluetooth movies etc.
Information is as follows: many ear infections as a kid (I'm 61), did not use hearing pro as a kid with shooting gun, worked in a taconite crushing mill while going to college where the company was more concerned with eye and foot protection than ears, we had ear plugs but they were poor at best. Then of course there was the loud music of the 60s, 70s and 80s, after that I wore ear plugs to concerts to protect my ears. I was a middle school teacher for 20+ years and that took a toll on ears at assemblies with all the screaming so my hearing is bad to say the least and it appears to be getting worse.
I am an outdoor nut that has not been out enough in the last three years to satisfy me or my wife as the economy has taken a chunk out of the recreation funds.
I list my location as Alaska, because that is home to us, but we foolishly moved to the Lower 48 to see what we were missing and now we haven't been able sell our house in Eastern Washington to move back home.
Anyway that is the most information I can think of to introduce myself. I'll be here off and on as I most likely need to take some classes on ASL so if I do lose all hearing I can communicate.

PS: How soon before I can see my other posts to other folks etc.?
