Re: Hearing Loops and Transportation Article

I don’t understand how Hearing Loops can be installed in cars. When I turn on my T coil in the car, I get a lot of static, I assume from the electromagnetic interference of the engine. Same thing if

Thanks, John. Do you have a source for me, or are you working in the field? My best bet might be to negotiate some partial recovery with given periods of time, so I keep the new ones and pay less for

Thanks, Mary. Do you have any idea what will be needed in hearing aids? I upgraded mine but the difference in the new ones isn’t that great. I wonder whether to keep the new ones. Will AuraCast need

Aura cast is available now for implementation. But it’s hard to tell how long it will take for hearing aid manufactures and venues to implement it. I’d guess several years before it’s widely

Julie - As you and others could see from that letter there was no effort by HLAA, ALDA, TDI etc. to advocate for the presence of telecoils in their letter to the FDA. What are they representing?

Thank you Steve. It’s easy to do that when writing. I had not seen the document before and appreciate you sharing it. It is going to be very interesting to see how this entire OTC thing works out

Re: [HLAAGITHL] Strong support of telecoils by IFHOH, Budap est Declara tion #advocacy #Telecoil

Hi Julie - my bad. "Not" apparently was thought but not typed. They did not call for telecoils, only that packaging indicate the presence of telecoils if they were present. See the attached.

Re: [HLAAGITHL] Strong support of telecoils by IFHOH, Budapest Declara tion #advocacy #Telecoil

My two cent on this is, most of the cheaper OTC hearing aids does not have t-coil. Some of those aid works quite well. Will they have the new tech in them? Don’t know. But if the current cheaper

Well, in about an hour's time, I will be taking part in the IEC committee on this subject, although Auracast won't be discussed until tomorrow. I'm not 100% expert, because I

Re: [HLAAGITHL] Strong support of telecoils by IFHOH, Budapest Declara tion #advocacy #Telecoil

I am puzzled about AuraCast. I recently bought Phonak Lumity aids. Of course they have telecoils, but I’m wondering how soon AuraCast will be replacing looping. Looping is such a tough sell be

Re: [HLAAGITHL] Strong support of telecoils by IFHOH, Budapest Declara tion #advocacy #Telecoil

Steve, 2nd paragraph, last sentence. Did HLAA call for telecoils in their comments to FDA or didn’t they? The wording is confusing. Thanks for clarification of this sentence: “You'll recall HLAA

Ron - You have been very effective in presenting your thoughts re the lack of aggressive advocacy for telecoils on the part of the national office in regard to hearing care providers and hearing aid

Re: Speech-to-Text Apps

Carol, It depends on your hearing aid brand and model. The manual for the hearing aid app should be able to provide info. It’s usually under Settings. For some hearing aids, only the audiologist can

Re: Speech-to-Text Apps

Cheri is correct. Turn BT off on your phone. Some HAs have a setting which will allow you to make a preset that allows BT streaming plus live mic. That is another possibility. I use both. R
