    Just because I am Deaf you won't take my calls?

    Not sure how much of the deaf population has difficulties with speech......but you can use a "realtime" captioning service (voice recognition) to help solve some of the issues. This system is called webCaptel or Captel ( CapTel - The Captioned Telephone www.sprintcaptel.com ) this doesn't...

    captioning vs signing

    Captioning is a godsend!! Captioning in Tvs and captioned phones like Captel/WebCaptel really makes the day!! Yes, there are times live captioning has mistakes involved, usually because of similarities in the sounds of words (hear/here), but I can forgive it as long as most is correct. I...

    I need help choosing a hearing aid for son

    Don't know about that one, since I have a 3 year warranty on my Phonak Naida UP aids. Maybe your dispenser will only cover 1 year.....I know the aids can be a little bit difficult to adjust if the dispenser does not have the proper training for fitting the aids. I have 2 aids.....so far there...

    Phonak Naida

    LOL, that's funny...drive you to drink......I can do that w/o the aggravation :) Anyway, it doesn't look like the agency I deal with will want to give me 2 RF receivers....I'm hoping they will at least switch me to the iCom and an RF receiver compatible with it. All together this will give...

    Canadian disability laws?

    In case you have not been able to resolve your situation...... How about oral interpreters? I have just finished college in the United States. I used oral (lip reading) interpreters throughout my college career and it was great! Maybe there could be some sign interpreters that could...

    Phonak iCom / Smartlink questions

    I research my future equipment as if it is a cell phone or laptop....I look at the durability of it. Sometimes you don't have that in "bleeding edge" technology, so treating it like gold usually is the way to go. I have a Hatis dual-earpiece headphones that I have used in the past. the...

    Phonak iCom / Smartlink questions

    Thanks Doug, I appreciate your reply. Since this was a DAI plug I was worried about, I would not want it to fall off....not a cheap item to replace.

    Phonak iCom / Smartlink questions

    Has anybody had any issues with the DAI connection on the FM receiver w/shoe (bending, breaking connections?) I'm considering switching from the custom ML10i receiver on my Phonak Naida UP to the iCom w/FM receiver. I like that I can connect to both ears with the iCom, which I think will help...

    Phonak Naida

    There you go!! You'll come out cheaper too!! I know it would have cost me $25 a piece for each boot, cheaper than buying the custom ML10i receivers for up to $800 a piece.

    Phonak Naida

    I currently am using a Smartlink SX trnasmitter with a FM receiver (Microlink ML10i) I have no problems using this with my Phonak Naida UP aids. You will need a receiver for each aid if you want to hear out of both ears, otherwise one will be sufficient (I use only one). I think your...
