#174578 - Hearing aids are very tricky Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Jez Smith said:
My dad has been pretty seriously deaf almost all his life and he used to have an old analogue hearing aid for the one ear he can hear most with, he then changed to this digital one which made his hearing far worse although he would never admit it, now he has lost his digital one, don't ask me how you lose a hearing aid, and has had to revert to the old one and now he can hear again.
It makes me wonder if he ever had the new one turned on. Hi Jez: I been waring hearing aids for 7 years, so here's what I found out. If you have two like I do, one will always fail at wrong time. They are worthless on a telephone conversion. I use digital so go to analog to use phone and miss every other word. I am waiting for someone to design a cheap hand held unit that would let you read what person is speaking on the phone. Someday this will happen and if it's pocket size people will use it. I know what you mean by not turning it on. Every now and then I forget to turn one on. Usually when the wife is talking to me. Which makes her very angry. This happens because when you use any bathroom must turn the units off or lower the volume to them so your head does not explode when you flush the toliet! That's about all I tell you about them.
