Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 , I can't tell you how well that neckloop works because I'm in the process of ordering it for myself, but here's the site I ordered it from (for $12 less than the other site): http://www.hearing-loss-help-co.com/index.html?2245.html & 1 e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Many thanks. I need to save a little $$$ before I order it but if you do get it before me I would appreciate if you could post your thoughts on it... I will do the same.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 , I forgot to mention that if you live in California (I'm in Idaho) you are eligible to get a free ClearSounds neckoop. Someone on the list mentioned that about a week ago. If you do an archives search for " ClearSounds " that message should come up. I will be sure to post my experience with the neckloop, but it'll be a couple of weeks before it gets here. Right now I have a Med-El in my right ear and was implanted with a Nucleus Freedom in my left ear on October 26. Activation day is November 28. I'll be trying the neckloop as a bilateral implantee who has never used a neckloop before, so my first impressions may be very different from yours. e > > > > , > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on the list mentioned that about a week ago. If you do an archives search for " ClearSounds " that message should come up. e, I realize this information was sent for ....but, I peeked. lol Several questions regarding your post: 1. How do you go about looking/searching in Archives? I don't find an " Archives " area to click. 2. Is this offer only for people in California? 3. Can you supply additional information - or, perhaps the " someone " who posted the previous information you are speaking of could post it again??? (Please!) Thanks.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Hi Evon, To answer your three questions: 1. and 3. To find the archives, click on " Reply via web post " at the bottom of a message. This will open a window to the Groups sign-in page. After logging on, click on " , " then on " Messages. " You'll now see a search box where you can enter keywords to pull up anything you want from the archives. You can also pull up a specific message if you know the message number. The message with the California information is number 49240 on November 1, 2006. 2. Here is a link to the TEDPA page that I found by going to my phone company's Web site (Verizon) and clicking on the link for customers with disabilities. I didn't look at all the state plans, being mainly interested in what Idaho had to offer. Idaho doesn't offer free neckloops, but it is temporarily offering CapTel phones for $99 (regular price is $495). I am taking advantage of that offer. You didn't say what state you are from, but you can click on the appropriate link on this page to find out what your state has in the way of goodies. http://www.tedpa.org/tedpainfo/stateprograms.html Hope you find something useful for your state on the TEDPA list. e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 I went,this afternoon, to a California Telephone Access Program(CTAP) office here in Burbank,California, to try the Clearsounds Neckloop. I have the Nucleus N24 Contour G3 processor. Unfortunately, the neckloop does not work. Is it compatible with the Freedom upgrade? I am now waiting to be mapped, hopefully soon.Moses Katz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 , I had switched my G3 processor to TCOIL, however the neckloop just did not work. Moses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Hi Moses, I also live in California and have from CTAP the clear sounds neck loop. It does work with the Freedom. I have been using it since mid August when I was turned on. You are also entitled to a telephone with the neck loop. One thing I noticed sometimes the person I am talking to cannot hear me. I think it draines power from the phone. Maybe you should try the cap-tel phone that CTAP also gives out. Good luck with the Freedom. a B On Nov 13, 2006, at 6:57 PM, chinamoses@... wrote: > I went,this afternoon, to a California Telephone Access Program > (CTAP) office > here in Burbank,California, to try the Clearsounds Neckloop.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Moses, I dont have that neckloop but was looking at it online, thinking about it. In what way didnt it work? RThe 3G and Freedom both have t coils but I understand the Freedom one seems to work better. *---* *---* *---* *---* *---* There's a pizza place near where I live that sells only slices... in the back you can see a guy tossing a triangle in the air... & Dreamer Doll (Guide Dawggie) Newport, Oregon N24C 3G 8/2000 Hookup rclark0276@... http://webpages.charter.net/dog_guide/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 I think that CS neck loop works best when you loop it over your ears so it is right next to the processor. This is a hassle I think because we already have so much on our ears, especially if we wear glasses too. However I remember we talked about this same subject a few months ago and I was trying out several brands of neck loops at the time. The " Listen " neckloop is far better than the Clearsound neckloop and it costs half as much. Pam (happy with my " Listen " ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Moses, Maybe it was a dead loop. *---* *---* *---* *---* *---* Life not only begins at forty, it also begins to show. & Dreamer Doll (Guide Dawggie) Newport, Oregon N24C 3G 8/2000 Hookup rclark0276@... http://webpages.charter.net/dog_guide/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Pam, A neckloop over the ears?! Blimey! Actually I have tried it, doesnt work too well. So tell us about the Listen loop. *---* *---* *---* *---* *---* Since light travels faster than sound, isn't that why some people appear bright until you hear them speak? & Dreamer Doll (Guide Dawggie) Newport, Oregon N24C 3G 8/2000 Hookup rclark0276@... http://webpages.charter.net/dog_guide/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 communications website has the Listen, the Clearsounds and others advertised. http://www.harriscomm.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=neckloop Let me know your questions if this site isn't accessible.. It should be accessible. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Pam, What makes this loop better than others? Were you able to try other loops too? *---* *---* *---* *---* *---* Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. & Dreamer Doll (Guide Dawggie) Newport, Oregon N24C 3G 8/2000 Hookup rclark0276@... http://webpages.charter.net/dog_guide/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Hi ; I just tried the two of them. The Listen neckloop was clearer, louder and just served me better than the ClearSounds. Maybe it was just me.. but I couldn't believe the difference in sound and the difference in price. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
