One thing I do not like about the OPUS 2 processor if I understand it correctly that there is no buttons on it. With My N5 processor I have two buttons which I can turn on or off he processor, change programs and turn on the T-coil without having to depend on the remote in case that I forgot to...

Reminds me of the old line that the current GOP president candidates are saying that the corporations tax rate is too high. Makes me wonder if the official tax rate is lowered will it change anything?

I use the Hatis system for both my hearing aid and my CI. It has a bit stronger sound field than the Music Link. Personally I do not care for wires running down my neck. Phonak has a digital neck-loop that works for certain models to eliminate buzzing and allows true stereo channels from that...

I usually take off my hearing aid and implant when I am jogging, mowing the lawn and exercising. I learn how to work out in silent. When I was younger my hearing aid, Oticon at the time used to short out in sweat every two months in the summer.

There is no electromagnetic force while the internal magnet is just like a regular kitchen magnet. Without any power source the internal implant will not generate any signal. Sounds like that the EMF detector is generating a strong electromagnetic force of its own that was interacting with the...

This brings up another question I have not thought before. How can you use a cell phone with the mic on the coil. Is that a issue at all?

I allways worn something on my ears all my life. The is the first time that I see that AB finally gave a offical Ingress Protection Rating to their processor.

sleep through thunderstorms sometimes works if there is no lighting and the thunder does not shake the bed sometimes. No noise taking a shower and swiming. As a kid I do not understand why I would want to hear screaming kids in the pool.

I heard about from a researcher last year that had some success in growing hair cells in the cochlea but they ran into the problem of the body rejecting the new created hair cells as foreign. The scientists are not sure why that is. Back to the drawing board as I would say. The one limited...

I like Virgin myself and used to have Cricket. Virgin is great for someone that does not need the very latest in phone technology and just wanted a few voice minutes in addition to unlimited text, email and web browsing. I just wanted to same money with something that fits my needs. I have no...

That story just states IF AT&T failed to take over Tmobile AT&T will pay a fine to T mobile. So far I have not heard of this happening.

Another usefully thing to have is this tool kit for hearing aids and was available at my Walgreens store. Acu-Life Audio Kit Hearing Aid Cleaner | Walgreens

Most of the FM systems I had were very good and quite useful in work. The current FM system that I was evaluating has microphones on the receiver side that can be used to hear your peers. The Comfort Contego for example uses digital communication with a zoom microphone both in the transmitter...

I respect anyone decision determine what implant to use. Baseballboy is a long term CI user that has been implanted several times and his opinion is just as valid as mine.

I know of several friends that uses the ICOM system from Phonak, It seems that the Phonak ICOM uses a digital stereo neckloop that is more resistance against interference than my old analog neckloop. However the ICOM will not work with my older Phonak hearing aid or with my CI as far I can tell.

I have tried using phlixie.com and finding movies that are captioned but with the link to NetFlix I could not see where does it indicates that the streaming version has captions. Currently using Hulu for TV shows with captions.

I have been wearing high power aids all my life and I still do. Hearing not being used is not worth preserving. My aids can give a maximum of 120db at certain frequencies in order to get any usefully benefit for my needs. This had worked for me for several decades as long they are properly...

It is used to add the more detailed natural bass sounds and can help discrimination in noise.

The Denon 2000 was only $200 a few months ago on Amazon. There has been big price increases on certain items lately. I brought my Stax 20 years ago and still in prime condition at 1/4 of the cost today. Just try some headphones and see if it worth spending money on. Sometimes I go the local...
