Glad to see you got FM


I wrote to you earlier about getting the FM. How is the FM working I see your mentioned you would comment later. How did it go for you - are the battries lasting for you all day. My FM batteries were great until they got older then I would tell the school and they would arrange for a replacement. The unit I had was the Phonic Ear Personal FM, the blue ones used in the schools. It worked well for me so when I finished schol, I purchased one for my own use. When you are done school check with your audiologist and Ontario Assistive Devices Program.


I can understand the comment about hearing even when not in the classroom. I was part of the group that encouraged one of the local churches to get an FM system for the church. One of the older ladies (70+) who was really having trouble hearing tried the demonstation unit and she had to take a trip to the bathroom and her reation was the same as yours - WOW I did not miss a thing.


With my hearing loss I depend a lot on lip reading so I can tell that someone is speaking but not what is being said (speech discrimination).
