You don't have to remove the shoes to open the battery door, you can leave them connected overnight while you are airing out the aids. They will not drain power because the battery is disconnected, and leaving them on will put less wear on the clips and things that hold it all together. I leave...

The shoe requires a replacement battery door with a hole in the bottom and a catch on it to attach the audio shoe. The shoe itself then stays on the battery door at all times if you want to. You can remove it, but there really isn't any point except to make the hearing aid a little smaller or if...

Remember you probably have a warranty on privately purchased moulds. Mine is for a year, so if the moulds fail before the end of 12 months I get replacements for free. When you next pay for moulds check how long the warranty is, who it is provided by (manufacturer or retailer) and what is...

Which is why it takes the right staff with the right expertise, the right access to new courses and research. Staff rotation would be ideal, but unsettling for some types of autism. Sometimes they burn themselves out in the pursuit of the unnecessary. Oh poor so and so doesn't seem to have any...

I just started going to a BSL group and I actually don't have any idea who is hearing and who is deaf! Everyone uses BSL from start to finish, the idea is to learn and improve, and I surprised myself by not being too insecure to sign because I didn't know if other people were "better than me" at...

How long does it last between charges if you use the Bluetooth? I don't have any clue how old the transmitter itself is or the battery inside so I don't know if battery life is typical or particularly bad. It's for the Inspiro, Handymic or Campus S only, they already confirmed that battery...

Sadly it's the surgical aspect that usually makes insurance carriers cover them. No surgery, no hearing aid. There are other bone conduction devices such as the headband versions and one which clips to the teeth, but with there being no surgery you are then reliant on your insurance to cover...

Think I ran into you on another thread, nice to be missed IYSWIM. :giggle: I got fed up with everything for a while cos everyone seemed to have nice hearing aids that did all sorts of things and mine... well, could have thrown them on the ground and rolled my wheelchair over them repeatedly...

Show us your hearing aid. Why? I wish someone would tell why. And I see vids online about hearing aids and if the vid doesn't include a close up of the hearing aid the comments always say make a video with your hearing aid in it.

Thanks, I did look at some stuff like that because I need alerting to some other stuff too. The problem I came across was that in most cases the transmitter has to be stuck on to the alerting object and it's pretty big. It has to be isolated enough from any other kind of sound which could be...

Sadly a lot of our sports this side of the pond are recorded. You can only look up the rosta online if you remember to do it before the result is available... I watch nfl over here and it's annoying when you want to look stuff up, you can't unless you want to know how it finished. Some DVR...

I get a lot of email and sms cos I can't do the phone. Problem is, you always get to choose a notification tone or vibrate. The vibrate isn't a lot of use unless you keep your phone on a belt or in a pocket, not something that is easy for me. I'm looking for an android app that will make the...

Equally true of "treated" hearing loss which doesn't work! Thankfully I didn't have to make that decision in the end as a quality audiologist arrived in my life at the right moment and fitted me a pair of what is essentially a Naida V SP which are so insanely better than the last set of...

How weird! My experience is always denial, people don't like the idea of something being "wrong" with children so if I ever say she's hoh or she is speech and language delayed they pounce on everything she can do and say "But look, she can do..." and pick an example of something a child 2 years...

How long do you get out of your battery on a Phonak Smartlink transmitter? I bought mine second hand so the battery may not be as good as it was, but they have to send it away for a replacement battery to be put in (who thought that one up???) so it costs loads to get it changed, I don't want to...

Hi, been waiting till I got onto the main PC to view the picture as it was too small on my mobile. It's a really sweet design, thanks. Trouble is that my FM transmitter does not have a trailing mic, it's a "box" style transmitter that needs the whole transmitter to be held chest height. Makes...

Specifically public school programs in the US or public school early intervention programs anywhere in the world? Remember this is an international forum, you don't want to end up with results that ruin your research because they are from a totally different kind of program than you are...

I can understand a very limited range of people in limited circumstances. I can speak to people I know very well on easy topics while they go slowly with me and warn me of upcoming changes of subject provided that the person is connected to my FM system by Bluetooth and I'm not having an acute...

Astonishingly, given the title of the discussion, I am investigating Cued Speech.

This is in the context of "Reasons I don't want to learn BSL" though. This is not "I cannot communicate with anyone ever by any means" this is "The reason I don't want to learn BSL is because I personally couldn't use it as an effective communication tool anyway"
