Steve, as always you’re right on target. One clarification needed though. Explaining what a telecoil does to a first time hearing aid buyer is like talking to the wind. It has to be demonstrated as we

I think you mean ALDs (Assistive Listening Devices). TDD is a telephone device for the deaf. Hearing loops are wonderful for people who have telecoil equipped hearing aids. For those who don’t have th

Most of the newer iPhones require a lightning adaptor to plug in a neckloop. I bought my first one at the Verizon store for $30. Found them on Amazon for $7. It’s one more accessory, but is well worth

Thanks Alan. We held our chapter meeting last night on Zoom. The chapter owns and pays for the basic Pro Program. We had all the same issues that the CA chapter had last week. People were let in, ever

Thank you Alan. We have used both Google Meets and Zoom during the past 2 years. We’ve decided to purchase the Zoom Pro program for the chapter because it just seems to work better for us. Admittedly,

I encourage you to ask HLAA to order these in quantity and put them in the order department. Know they had them a few years ago. Wonder how many were distributed. At $7 a copy for a small order, they

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this Terri. This has been in my thoughts too as our online meetings this past year + have drawn in people who would not attend regular meetings. Of course it has

My concern was not about the actual Zoom meeting. It was about the recorded version. I could move the captions during the meeting, but when viewing/listening to the recorded version, they were immovab

It worked for me, but only up or down. I could not move the captions to the side. Up worked better than down for me.

#ZoomCaptions

Thanks Dan. That isn’t the problem. Moving the captions works great during the live Zoom meeting. I’m referring to the saved for replay one; the recording. Not possible to move it on that. Julie

Sharing an experience with Zoom captions: Last Friday I participated on Mayo Clinic Connect mentor’s discussion. The captions worked well. Everyone was impressed. I think only 3 of the group need them

Thank you again Carolyn. I responded to your personal message prior to seeing this one. Neckloops are wonderful. I actually bought 5 of them on eBay this summer for $11 each, and have given them to pe

Carolyn, you said earlier that you use a headset with microphone on Zoom. Can you please tell us what headset you use? I’ve been told that my audio sometimes fades out on Zoom. I have an old Radio Sha

I need clarification. Is it just the ‘host’ who needs to have otter ai, or does everyone who wants to see captions have to have it? Our chapter has the Zoom Pro program, but it is in my name. Julie Ol
