Re: Not hearing Call phone... what options do I have?

Chantelle,

Patty can hardly hear on phones anymore. She has something called a side

kick. It's also a tty device, an organizational tool, a phone, and has access

to IM and the internet. She's changed the screen somehow but she also has

central vision, sort of, so she see's it ok.

She also got -for free by verizon- a Sorenson VRS (Video Relay System) which

is sort of like a relay call that you set up to see the person on the tv.

Patty signs so she's able to call my mom and talk to her on Patty's cell but

she can't hear so the relay person, on the tv screen, signs to Patty what is

being said. She can also talk directly to someone who also is deaf, without

a relay person.

It's cool and reduces tons of stress for her. Patty hasn't been able to

call in her meds, get numbers from 411, make appointments, etc. Now she can do

it all!

Independent of anyone, it's all about independence!

Check it out.

i'm curious do you hear the buzz from the cell phone? i wonder if any cell phone

are getting better without having buzz on T phone from hearing aid while listen

to cell phone. I used to have cell phone like seven years ago before i have

implant on, the old version of cell phone cause lot of buzz til i get other one

and it work fine with T phone. what kind of hearing aids you going to get? is it

deginal? Sad news was my hearing from left ear were going down and you are

lucky, your hearing are still working. Michele s.

Not hearing Call phone... what options do I have?

Hello

Im finding it harder now to use my cell phone. I just cant hear on it at all

if im out. if im at home I have to turn off my fan and air conditioner. Now

that the confusion with ODSP is cleared up im going to make a new

appointment with my Audiologist about getting new hearing aids but what cell

phones or products similar to cell phones are out there that are good for

people with hearing imparement. Actualy I find the screen too small to read

but mostly the cell phone is so I would have something to use to be safe and

call if I ever needed help. Its too hard to have a conversation over my cell

phone cause its too quiet on the cell even with speaker phone wich if I

switch to speaker phone my phone sounds like a crackly microphone.

I am interested in knowing what options there is for people with hearing

loss. I use my right ear to talk as I can hear higher pitch but not the

lower frequencies. my left ear has less hearing but the low frequencies are

better then the high frequencies. I can hear people speaking better if they

are on my right side.

something.

no wonder cell phone isn't work on t coil mode, other thing t coil mode does

block the sound surround while using the phone and listen tv or music on the

headphone that is great thing that i remember back than. i did mention about

special cord few minute ago, hope that help. michele s.

Mine have been fine until April. I don't know why, but they would buzz a lot!

Ugh, so annoying! And they would do the bababababababa thing, you know? My

hearing aids do that not just with my cell, but with other cells, the TV, and

the computer. Last Wedendsay I changed the setting to a different one then back.

Now all of that stopped. Finally. I didn't want to have to step 10 feet away

from my friend every time she is on her cell. And I want to hear my program. Now

it is gone, whew.

Oh well. They are better. My left hearing aid has been whistiling all day on Wed

and I am going to see an audiologist on Wed and see what is up with my hearing

aid. I remember my FM system didn't work well, and it started to do that after

one year of use

8th grade: Fine. Just got it.

Freshman year: Squealed, babababaed, staticed

Sophomore year: Buzz, bababababa, static

Junior year: static

This year (Senior year): Today it started to squeal a bit during lunch. It

sounded so much like a girl shrieking! Soo freaky man. I was talking to my

friend at that time. Scary. Squeled a few more times after that during class.

Morning mi amigos!

Yeah, I had that similiar problem too with my hearing aids. 1 of the phone

here, usually give me a hard time hearing well, even worst without my hearing

aids. The other one is okay, better volume but no caller ID on it, sigh!

Sometime my hearing does start ringing out, then I have to lower it so it

can stop the ringing. I'm planning on getting a special kind of telephone that's

for deaf/hoh users. The one with larger numbers, with volume adjusment, and

hopefully a caller ID on it too! I'll let you know when I get it, alright?

Thanks, have a nice day!
