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

15 miles NW of Spokane above Long Lake, not on the lake that is for the millionaires. We live above it. My wife is a geologist by education so when we buy a house it has to meet certain requirements...hahahahaha

I have a version of that soundgate (streamer) and for that to sync it up with your PS3, you're gonna need special equipment that will let you enjoy the PS3, the movie

this equipment would be this one

FYI this is the same technology that Oticon has!

Philips, Ya I saw that at Costco and was told by the specialist to wait and see if I could tweek my system. Funny thing is the green light goes on the unit that hangs on your neck but no sound! It would great with the iPhone for calls, Pandora and for text videos I use that physical plug in and I can hear the grand kids!!!!!
I was hopeing to save the extra 150$
