I use V7 flasher (made by Audiovo) and a Hatis dual t-coil. The Hatis saleperson
(4 years ago) encouraged me to use CDMA network. So i use Virgin Mobile network.
Worked better than using Tracfone-GSM-Motorola. Btw, do NOT use Tracfone -
their service is awful.

If the phone has a 2.5 mm plug as most cellphone has you can get a bi-annal hatis.
HATIS® Corporation
This is 5+ years ago. Now there are several t-coil models out there - probably cheaper.
Also, there is a (are) "converter" from 3.5mm to 2.5 mm - CapTel folks would know.

Which aid is it? I doubt I can use it as i need the most powerful one.
Sound like you have a "directional" hearing aid. I used to have one
until having a stroke.

It echoes alot and is very noisy. Are there any device (that connects with hearing aids;
I use Digifocus II) that can help hear 1-1 or small group? I.e., like an uni-directional
microphone or something?
What technology(ies) is(are) out there (and doesn't break the bank; no more than...
What is the status of required caption on internet/video tv especially in CA, USA?
I know there are laws requiring tv stations to have caption on tv's. And there are
passed or unpassed) laws to have caption on internet/video tv? Are these laws in

If both side have broadband (internet connection), you can use skype as videophone
over the internet.

Thank for replying.
Anything with headset is out (since I wear hearing aids). The closest to what I want is
Micro Spy Ear - Personal listening amplifier
www.all-spy-products.com
Which is currently out-of-stock. I know Amazon didn't have any "listening device" suitable
for me. I'll look...
What they called? Can't search the forum w/o knowing the name.
I need a device to hear and pinpoint the source. It's for two things.
1.
Occasionally there is an animal in the attic/vent. But there are also
roofers working next door. I want to pinpoint where the sound is.
2.

Hi!
Just restarted looking at what is out there (online) that has CC. It's crazy looking around .
Wouldn't it be great if there was a "youtube-like" site for the deaf? That is a site
that has ONLY videos with either CC and/or ASL. There is already sites that has videos
that are...
According to
AOL Announces Closed Captions for Online Video
AOL has some CNN with cc (and maybe more???). I can't get to them. Can any of
you figure it out?
Btw, AOL video moved to
Video - AOL Video
Thank for your help.

Pardon me if this has been discussed before (just give me the link).
The search engine knocks out tv when I search for "internet tv".
What is the status of internet tv for hearing impaired? I'm looking for some that are
1) free
2) captioned (it's not enough for voice-only)
3) runs on...
Definitely not center.
Another question on the side. How do you deal with air pressure on the plane?
I usually put a mint/candy in my mouth and take off hearing aids during liftoff and
landing. Anybody has a better trick?
Sheng-Chieh
I know they are different. I need the maximum power and it does make a
difference. If you don't need the maximum power, you probably won't notice.
I'll ask microbattery.com and get back to you people. I';m sure there is a
difference between 675, A675, ZA 675, 7 P675.

I'm looking at 675 batteries. Not all 675 batteries are equal.
The hearing aids dealer said to use "super powered" 675
batteries. Supposedly these batteries give a little extra power
compared with the regular 675 batteries. Which brands are they?
A sample of 675 batteries can be seen at...
I use a Flasher V7 from Virgin Mobile.
But more important it uses the CDMA network.
The Hatis (a device connecting hearing aids to
cellphone) saleman wrote that the Hatis headset
works better on CDMA network. Several years
ago I was using a Motorola cellphone on Tracfone
which uses a GSM...
