Hi. I am hoh and wear bilat BTE's, Phonak... Naidas or something?? Still not sure 
I use them with boots and one of the old EasyLink microphones, and I have a few questions:
Can I get a replacement audio cord to connect to my iPod/computer/tv so I can go back to using this stuff? I bought those huge 80's headphones that cup the ears so they'd fit around my h-a's, and therefore the sound would go into the mic, but they're a huge pain to carry around!! I hate using regular earbuds because they hurt and generally need to be loud enough for everyone else to hear in order for me to hear the music properly.
This is kinda weird. I was at the audiologist getting one of the tubes fixed (split AGAIN at the earmold ^_^) and I decided that I ought to ask, while I was there, about cell phone compatability. I just got a new phone (actually is t3/bluetooth enabled!!!!), however the easylink doesn't really work with bluetooth phones. BUT. She said that I'd soon be due for new equiptment. New equiptment?!! I got my stuff... 4 years ago-ish. Do I really need a new mic and such? Was she mistaken? She said that the next time I go for equiptment I should ask about getting the smartlink and make sure I mention that I'd really like to use it with my phone, etc. and she commented that she had no idea why the last person to advise me concerning equipt. DIDN'T mention cell phone compatability, and thinking of my age.
Any ideas?
I hope to find this a good resource for information/advice. Not many hoh people around my area/my age D: .
