    How much better are hearing aids today than in 2004-2005?

    Strange... they told me there is software that came out since the HA came out. Maybe they don't know about this particular HA? I tried several more expensive HA's before settling on the PHONAK OK! Plus UP Couldn't tell if they were better or not, seemed the same, so why pay more? Maybe with my...

    How much better are hearing aids today than in 2004-2005?

    PHONAK OK! Plus UP Yep affects sound/feedback bigtime. So you have to change the tubing every 2 months? When I said it will last me a couple more years, I meant before I have to get a new HA. They told me to come back no later than 6 months or sooner when I first notice drop off. That sound...

    How much better are hearing aids today than in 2004-2005?

    Well I took my hearing aid into Bates College where they train people in the hearing technology. (Its free) They said the feedback was from dirty filters, two of them and the tube was getting hard. Boy what a big difference that made! Sounds like new again... so it will last me a couple more...

    How much better are hearing aids today than in 2004-2005?

    We're old and stupid! Yep, kinda bothered me a bit too. I am no spring chicken at 61, but I bet my mind is sharper than many of these younger folks that makes comments like that. ;) Because of that delay, I do push the battery door on as soon as I pick it up as by the time I put it on, it...

    How much better are hearing aids today than in 2004-2005?

    Are the digital hearing aids that much better than Analog hearing aids? (is that what HA is?) Mine is five years old now and I'm thinking of getting a new one. My digital hearing aid takes 5 seconds or so to turn on and I hate that. Do all digital phones do that? I have a PHONAK OK! Plus up...

    Sticky at the top way outdated at August 12, 2008!

    The "Sidekick, Blackberry, Qwerty phones" sticky at the top is way outdated @ August 12, 2008!!! How is it helpful anymore? The moderators should replace it every year or so with current phones. :) Something such as "Samsung, HTC, iPhone Phones" or other deaf friendly phones should be listed.

    Best Deaf Cell Phones? Samsung Galaxy Note II is one!

    I was going to get the Note III since I had the Note II, but the Samsung Galaxy S5 just came out and it blows away the Note III. I tried both, got the Samsung Galaxy S5 and it is fantastic. Got everything a deaf person wants in a phone and then some. Anyone else here has one? I was...

    Best Deaf Cell Phones? Samsung Galaxy Note II is one!

    My Samsung has the Blinking notification lights when I get a message. Vibrates, shows up on the screen just for a second, (not long enough to read it). So if your across the room, you'll see it, or on your night stand.

    Like I said back in January, it wouldn't go pass 6". It's 5.7" ;) I put my Note 2 next to it... could hardly see the size difference. I will wait until Note 4 comes out before getting another phone.

    Best Deaf Cell Phones? Samsung Galaxy Note II is one!

    Tell that to most of the folks out there ;) For me it is reading reviews, then hands on at Best Buy and the AT&T store... and I tried several, including the latest iPhone and they didn't come close to Galaxy Note 2 & S3. As silver status at BB I have 45 days to change my mind and I did with...

    Best Deaf Cell Phones? Samsung Galaxy Note II is one!

    Too bad... maybe she don't know how to use the features as I had the S5 iphone for a week first, took it back and got the Note2. As far as I'm concerned, the Note 2 blows away the iPhones and the ratings and mag reviews prove it last year ;) iphone is easy to use, but screen waaaay too small...
