Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Patti,right now I can hardly hear the " radio station " , however when its clearer, I could just barely hear complete sentences, just a few words. So, its not imagination!!. Moses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Hi Moses! Isn't the CI AWESOME?!!!! I am glad you are doing so well with yours. Hmmm, you have me stumped about hearing a radio station and stating that it may be coming through the cord, acting as antenna. If there is a radio on, then it will be picked up by the microphone; but if there is no radio on then you shouldn't be hearing a radio station playing. I wore the BWP for the first 4 weeks until I got my 3G and never had that experience. I do remember a lot of noise in my head while wearing the BWP; but they were all sounds my brain just could not figure out at that time so it did sound a bit staticy to me those first 4 weeks. I am wondering if this is what you are experiencing. I have worn the BWP a few times since that first month and don't get all those staticy noises anymore. It's just loud and clear. Personally, I prefer the 3G. It puts sounds in better perspective than the BWP does so I don't wear the BWP that much. If you figure out where the radio noise is coming from, post and let us know because you have me curious. Continued success to you, Moses! Patti Surgery Day 11/25/02 (What A Day!)

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Moses, I can't tell whether you are kidding or not about this radio station. You are not getting a radio station on your cord. You are probably hearing all the background noise around you that you never knew was there. Ask a hearing friend to take you to a quiet room and close all the windows, etc. If it is very quiet to them and not quiet to you then go have your processor checked.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Hi Moses! I never thought the radio station was your imagination. It fascinates me that if you aren't actually around a radio that is on, then how can you be hearing a radio station? If you ever figure it out, let me know. Continued success to you!

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 I've known other people with HAs who got a radio station when they used their T-switch infra-red hook up and neck loop. So it's not altogether unheard of if certain radio stations are using a frequency that may be picked up by other equipment. Moses maybe you should ask about it at " Radio Shack " if you can find someone knowledgeable. Or a Ham radio operator might be able to figure it out. I'm pretty sure Moses isn't joking and the antenna may just be picking something up.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Radio Shack wont have a clue, they hire college kids to sell products that they know nothing about. Tell them about a CI and they will get that blank look. The CI operates at 5mhz, not even close to radio bands. Someone suggested a quiet room as an experiment. Moses, if you still hear this " radio " let your audie know. *---* *---* *---* *---* *---* Accept people as they are -- Completely unacceptable! & Gimlet (Guide Dawggie) Portland, Oregon N24C 3G 8/2000 Hookup rlclark77@... http://home.comcast.net/~rlclark77/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 lol.. that's why I said " if he can find someone knowledgeable " .. :-) at Radio Shack. I only know that I have heard this complaint before from hearing aid users when trying to use their accessories (loop, etc). A very knowledgeable audiologist who has written many books is a woman named Compton. She is employed now at Gallaudet but I was fortunate enough to have her consultative services when I first lost my heaing in 1994. She worked with my local audi to plan accommodations for me in my workplace. Anyway if you don't get to the bottom of this radio station business.. maybe you could write to her or call her. Compton, Ph.D. Compton is an investigator under the Hearing Technologies and CEDAR components of the RERC. Dr. Compton holds a Ph.D. in Speech and Hearing Science from the City University of New York, and is currently a faculty member at Gallaudet University. Dr. Compton is co-founder and director of the Gallaudet University Assistive Devices Center, and has done considerable work in the area of needs assessment and selection of hearing assistance technology.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 I'm not sure that average audis will know much about radio stations either.. lol! but it never hurts to network if you can avoid being pushed into buying something .. lol! Good luck Moses! and let us know what you might find out! Pam Savage (in Anchorage..)

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 I don't know for certain, but I wonder if the " radio station " Moses is hearing could be tinnitus? I've heard of cases where people actually hear singing and/or talking in the affected ear. As for myself, I just hear constant ringing or a roaring freight train. Moses, are you still experiencing problems with this? Surgery date: 12/22/04 (15 days and counting!) Activation date: 1/18/05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Patti, that radio station can be a blessing. Any conversation or listening to music completely overrides it. Regards, moses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Moses I hope the music's good seriously, I hope you get it figured out that would be frustrating to hear the radio when you didn't turn one on. > Re: Moses' Hookup >Hi Moses! > I never thought the radio station was your imagination.
