Right,
I want to listen to music. Problem is to listen to music loud enough means having the neighbours now that I'm listening to Bruno Mars. Second problem, its 11pm and that might annoy them. So last year I got a Phonak iCom (no.... its not a Apple device or something to do with iPhones just because of the i in front of it). Its a special bluetooth device that connects via a weak FM signal directly into my hearing aids. Its an amazing device allowing the hearing aid and icom to work together to make sure that whatever the aduio source running through it uses the correct program to get the most out of my listening experience.
For exmaple, phones.
The icom got a mic onboard so it functions just like a bluetooth device you put in your ear and connect to the phone. But it switches the hearing aid into a phone program which adjusts the sound to allow it to be clearer for you.
Music,
This puts the phone into music mode, giving a better range of sound instead of focuing on just speech which it does in normal mode.
Its a great piece of kit, but its NOT LOUD ENOUGH........... so guess its back to the hospital again to get the settings changed!
