    Galaxy 4 notifications

    Well, I set it on top of my desk, on the side of my lap when driving or it's in my purse. I wish the vibrate would be loud enough for me and a loud notification. Is there an app for a loud text notification?

    Galaxy 4 notifications

    I just got a Galaxy 4 and I love it. However, whenever I receive a text, it doesn't alert me. I miss a lot of texts sent from people and I see it a long time after they've texted me.

    Esteem - Hearing Implant?

    :hmm: Honestly, I never cared if the hearing aides are shown or not and I didn't write that I did care. I just said in my description that it is implanted. If my hearing aides worked well with my sensorineural hearing loss, I would proudly wear them all the time, no problem. There's only...

    Esteem - Hearing Implant?

    HI, as for the Esteem, I am looking into seeing if I qualify. Also, is not because people want to hide their hearing aide surgical procedure. It is because the whole implant is implanted inside you and it is for people with sensorineural hearing loss. Regular hearing aides do not work on me -...
