    Phonak Naida V vs Naida B?

    I’ve ordered 4 different ones through Amazon. Not optimistic on any given the reviews. Seems as if these work on a very narrow selection of android phones. 90% of the reviews simply say, “doesn’t work on XXX.” But I’ll report back in the unlikely event that any of these actually work with the...

    Phonak Naida V vs Naida B?

    Well, they're the reverse of what I need as the audio side needs to be male, but I'd be willing to add another male to male adapter. But, the descriptions (and reviews) of all of those seem to suggest that they're for very specific Android phones and won't work with generic devices. I already...

    Phonak Naida V vs Naida B?

    Aarrrgh. So I've already lost the little micro usb to audio jack cable. Is there ANYWHERE to get one of these? It seems impossible to source phonak/Roger accessories from anywhere except an audiologist. And I'm going to hate having to ask my audi to find one for me after I turned around and...

    Phonak Naida V vs Naida B?

    I bought two, from the same seller in Illinois. Came with everything except the lanyard and the little protective sleeve. I want to say ~$180. If you want a link to that seller, let me know and I’ll look it up when I’m home.

    Phonak Naida V vs Naida B?

    I do, and it looks like it does. I don't facetime often, but just tried it. The audio worked via the Pen over Bluetooth just as a normal voice call does. Now, if only other streaming audio (music/audiobooks) worked with BT without the cable then pen would be perfect.

    How would you rate your personal sex life?

    Funny you should ask. Last night I had the best sex of my life! It took place in the smallest room in my house. I was alone. It was all I thought it could be! Thanks for allowing me to share.

    Does Anyone Use Psychic Services?

    Shouldn't the service operators already know the answer to these questions? ;)

    Phonak Naida V vs Naida B?

    BTW. Had my follow-up with the audiologist. The pricing for the Roger stuff was more than I'd anticipated, by about 50% The integrated 19 receiver was $750 (I was thinking more like $400), and the Pen was $1500 (I was thinking $800-$900)! The single Naida B UP was $2995, which is what I...

    Need recommendation/advice

    The fact that this is within your current company and that they're aware of your hearing issues is excellent. Just knowing that much makes me inclined to encourage you to take it. :) Best of luck. I'm not familiar with the SpeechPath product mentioned above, but I'd reiterate that I've not had...

    Need recommendation/advice

    To add to what rosecottage mentioned regarding captioning...I experimented with some speech to text apps to possibly assist with meetings, conference calls, etc. I was utilizing a studio quality mic that a friend lent to me. What I found was that in perfect conditions the speech to text might...

    Need recommendation/advice

    Hi Tim.. Is the employer who offered you the new position aware of your difficulties with these situations? If they are and are committed to working with you then I'd probably pursue it if it's a good move for you. (I'm of the opinion that one needs to be fully forthcoming with one's limitations...

    Phonak Naida V vs Naida B?

    Thanks. Sorry to badger you with questions, but you seem to have a good handle on these devices. So the pen from my audiologist is in my possession on a trial. I like it quite a lot. In the meantime I've ordered a second, used Pen from ebay. Version 1.1 same as the new one, and all...

    Do you remember music?

    Music is an odd one for me. I lost my hearing gradually over 20+ years. My loss is complete in one ear, and 100dB in the other. I get by with an aid...but yeah, music. What I find is that I can hear and listen to music that I've heard before, but new music...not really. It's obviously my memory...

    having wife to interpret for me?

    I can't imagine why anyone would have a problem with this. I admit that I'm a bit unclear what these mandatory meeting/seminars are all about and why you'd be required to attend such a thing, but regardless I don't see why the center should object to your wife accompanying you, regardless of her...

    Phonak Naida V vs Naida B?

    Since you purchased some of the ebay items, can you field a couple of questions? When my audiologist set up the Roger, all she seemed to do was attach the Roger 19 Receiver to the Naida B, then pair the Pen to the Receiver, all of which I could have done on my own. There didn't seem to be any...

    Phonak Naida V vs Naida B?

    Picked up my Roger Pen from my audiologist (with the Roger 19 integrated receiver for the Naida B) and I have to say...I really like it so far. Taking phone calls is seamless, and I like being able to connect it to pretty much any sound source...my workstation at the office, the TV at home, my...

    Phonak Naida V vs Naida B?

    Yep. Went in today and had her turn it off. Much better. The "S" sounding like "SH" is all gone. I told her my biggest fear was someone suggesting that I "go sit over there," and it resulted in an embarrassing misunderstanding. She's ordering me the Roger 19 integrated receiver and the Pen to...

    Phonak Naida V vs Naida B?

    Thanks. I'm going to see my audiologist tomorrow for an adjustment to the Naida aid. Everyone sounds like Sean Connery...or more specifically a lot of "s" sounds come across as "sh." She shellsh shea shellsh by the sheashore. I was reading on some other forum that this can have something to do...
