Well I bought my hearing aids from hearingplanet.com and I wasn't able to buy them unless I had a licensed audiologist to fit them. Due to the attitude of audiologist 4 years ago they had one in my area that they referred me to. I had to go to her for the hearing test and the fitting. I got...

I know I can't hear certain sounds until I put my hearing aids on. Alarm clocks, oven timers etc. those high piercing noises can really get to you. When I got my digital hearing aids I could suddenly hear all these sounds I hadn't done in years.

That's what my mother tells me she did with me. Even though her mother was hoh and she was also, it never occurred to her that I might be deaf. She said that by the time she took me to audiologist at age 4/5, he told her that I could have a big chip on my shoulder from the punishments I was...

HI Banjo It was your post I read on another site that got me looking into this issue. As it is we don't have any kind of cable tv, we just watch local channels and I am very happy with that. The only channel I'd really like is HGTV, lol. I am also lucky in that I have my own personal loop...

Hi there fellow Iowan! That's just the prob. These techies get too technical for me and I get lost in the information. I read your other comment on Iowa and no captioning for adlibbing on the news and the weather. That frustrates me no end that they don't caption the weather.

I've always envied people who can eavesdrop on others conversations. It seems they always know what's going on ahead of time. Besides the fact that I think it is very rude, I do wish sometimes I could. Now as I get older, my perfect eyesight has moved to "farsightedness", and I can no longer...

Hi everyone I was looking into closed captioning issues with HDMI. Just recently read a customer review on BestBuy about lack of CC in the tv she bought. As we are about to buy our first LCD television set I thought I had better find out more info. I am HOH and wore hearing aids for a...
