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.

Re: Speech-to-Text Apps
Try turning BT off. I’ve not experienced my hearing aids being turned off while using AVA. However, if I’m in a looped venue, using my telecoil setting, and use AVA, my telecoil will shut off.

Marilyn,
This has plagued me, too. Both Ava and Otter use the iPhone mic, but the hearing aids have their own mic. So I don’t understand it. Maybe it’s because the hearing aids use the volume control app there is a connection to the phone. I think I’ll try closing the Phonak app and see whether that works.

Speech-to-Text Apps
When I use Otter or Ava, it turns my hearing aids off. Does anyone know if there’s a way to change my settings so that doesn’t happen? Or a different speech to text app that won’t do that? I have an iPhone.

Re: Questions
I am also wondering about the HLAA newsletter group. It seems that many think websites have overtaken newsletters. That seems to be a mistake. People go to websites for basic information. They don’t go there regularly for info about meetings. Seniors tend to prefer getting a printed newsletter to read at their convenience. It’s a reality that most of our members are 60+ in age. Sending it by e-mail is good too, but best to use both means of circulation if possible.
Our chapter newsletter is printed and mailed to about 300 recipients. It is e-mailed to another 200. This monthly newsletter is also our meeting notice. It gives people the chance to contribute to it if they choose. Even more important, our chapter newsletter is our main fundraiser. We don’t have advertisements in the publication. Instead, we have a Sponsor Column. There are 4 categories of Sponsors; Platinum, Gold, Silver & Bronze. Each calendar year we raise between $5000 and $6000 in sponsor donations. Some are from hearing healthcare professionals, but most are from people who have attended our chapter meetings who want to support our efforts. They are listed alphabetically in the 4 categories. This project has also generated some bequests. Our chapter is 35+ years old, so we have lost several who were dedicated to HLAA over the years.
I mention this because we believe in our newsletter. Several years ago we considered dropping it and going with a website. A survey we sent out with the newsletter showed that people wanted the newsletter to continue, and so it has.
I’d like to know if the national HLAA Group for newsletters still exists as I’ve not seen anything posted recently. Nor have I posted our chapter’s publication. I’d like to.
I encourage chapters to consider how a printed and published NL can help grow your chapter and help it thrive financially.
Our chapter does not have dues. We encourage people to become national members.
Julie Olson, Founder/Newsletter Editor HLAA Fox Valley Chapter (Appleton Wisconsin)
NOTE: We do post information on our HLAAWI state website under chapters. Not knocking websites as they serve a purpose too. They just don’t work well as a meeting notice that will draw people to a meeting or program.

Hi Cindy - Surprised you have not been put in touch with the various lists to give you a feel for what sort of articles would be of interest to HLAA members and HL readers.
There is (or was) a newsletter editors list that I organized years ago but I don't know if it's still active of not. It was a Yahoo list and when the changes came as a result of Yahoo discontinuing that service I don't know if it continued or not - the local chapter editor here did not belong.
Here are the lists I believe are currently active. I would think of you send an email to each of these addresses that you would get a return email instructing you as to how to go about being added to the list.
"All Things Tech Groups.io"<HLAATech@groups.io>, "GITHL Group HLAA"<HLAAGITHL@...>, "HLAA GITHL"<HLAAGITHL@groups.io>, "HLAA Tech"<HLAATech@...>,<HLAALeaders@groups.io>,
If you're interest, I have started a new blog and have a website where all of my articles get posted (www.sofnabq.com). The blog is brand new and I sent out an email notice about it last week to my 2500 member database of HoH, hearing care providers, other service providers, loop manufacturers/distributors/installers. They also all get my quarterly newsletter I could add your name to blog and the newsletter if you're interested.
One of the comments I've seen repeated on the leaders list is that they would like to see more articles in HL that apply to their life - how to articles, new tech articles etc. instead of "my life stories". That's what prompted me to write the two pieces I submitted.

Stephen,
How can I get into the listservs? I'm curious about what is being said about the lack of direction, and the magazine happenings in general (it makes me a little crazy, unsure and dubious, if you must know). Just curious�can you tell me a bit more?
Thanks
From: Stephen O. Frazier <hlaanm@...>
Hi Cindy - Thanks for your very prompt reply. In looking over the latest issue of the magazine and the website I could find no listing of an editor. I share your hope that you'll be officially named the editor and that it will stay that way. I don't know if you follow the various HLAA listservs but the troops are getting restless with all of the changes and seeming lack of direction.
The articles in question were attached to my email to you yesterday.. I know you can't tell me right now that they will or will not be used but at least I now know they are there for consideration.

Steve

Re: projector recommendations
#hybrid
Be careful. HDMI is often regarded as now 'old', but version 2.1 isn't old and is very good. The newer technique is 'Display Port', and many computers have this but not HDMI. You can get converter accessories for converting one to the other. But some of your members or visitors may have elderly computers that only have VGA. Again, you can get an accessory that converts VGA to HDMI (without sound, of course). I suppose consumer interest magazines rarely
cover projectors now. Screens can be so big that a projector is
not necessary. Do a web search for 'best video projector 2022'. ======================================================================================

projector recommendations

Hello, all!
Currently one of our Chapters is looking to buy a new projector. I was wondering if anyone on here can recommend one that the chapter could use. I am hoping to get one that will work with any computer that has a HDMI connection. This would be either for playing media or online videos or for hybrid meetings. With all the changes in computers, I just want to make sure that I can give the chapter forward thinking advice. The Board has already approved the purchase, but they don't know which brand or what to look for as far as specifications. Any advice or suggestions?? Thanks, Carolyn McMahon |

If each of you had a Roger pen I don’t know how that worked. You would have had to each wear a pen connected to every other person. How many people were there? Many pens can go to one person’s hearing aids, but a single pen can't go to many hearing aids. Yes. There is a wonderful clip-on mic, tiny, very effective, clips on easily and securely. It is a Phonak mic, but not a Roger. It works on bluetooth; the Roger mics are FM. I keep it in my pocket all the time. It’s called the Partner mic and costs considerably less than the Roger mics. I find it useful when I’m with only one other person. Walking is great because since that’s outside and you generally aren’t looking at the other person, it’s a game changer. Any time there is a single speaker, like a lecturer or a tour guide, it is simple to use. But it needs bluetooth to work, so it’s limited to the Marvel, Paradise, or Lumity. Carol Agate
