It works pretty well. although my boot on my CI makes crackling noises, i have no idea why.
i use a body worn fm system at paradressage comps, at meetings, in the classroom, watching tv, on the phone, when snowboarding
I get annoyed when people say that an fm system is a system for the classroom
Why are you obsessed with categorizing people's hearing loss, FJ? We discussed this on the late deafened thread recently. Check it out.
I bought a FM device from one of the online hearing stores. I tried it out in a restaurant and sent it back. This particular device didn't work for me.
Check out the late deafened thread and you'll understand.
I'm not picking a fight. You like to portray yourself as a victim. That gets old fast.
Isn't there the risk of damaging it when using it for snowboarding?when snowboarding
Well it does seem like the most common usage of it, is seen in the classroom.I get annoyed when people say that an fm system is a system for the classroom

yes thats why snowboarding helmets with build in headphones make a case using waterproof material for the fm box and for btes with boots get helmet repacked to allow for the bte or use a waterproof case like ear gear
For the receiver make a case out of waterproof case

Ear gear isn't waterproof.
Ahhh ... this is a great idea! I'd previously dismissed the idea of an FM system 'in real life' outside the classroom but your comment sparks thoughts of all kinds of applications. I spent some weekends feeling equally frustrated with both Li-Li's CIs and with using ASL on the slopes this past winter . CIs while on the mountain worked great last year, but this year her helmet seemed to be blocking sound something awful during lessons, and the pro repeatedly called out instructions (lean to the left, now stop!, Go! Turn right! Narrow wedge, wide wedge, bend your knees, arms in front") while facing off into the wind -- I was struggling to hear him myself and I know Li-Li tuned him right out as background noise: she would just ski straight downhill without responding to him at all I found myself tossing my own poles aside and freezing my hands off without gloves so I could ski backwards (sort of!) while facing her and signing -- not at all successfully.
An FM system would have really done the trick!
Grendel, Look into ski lessons at Wachusetts. They have an adaptive ski program. Not sure if the instructors know ASL, as its been a few years since I was involved in the program.and the pro repeatedly called out instructions (lean to the left, now stop!,
