Comment on Mobile Phones with Hearing Aids by John Lloyd

Thank you Dr Hanwell. The new Phonak TV adaptor should match the Oticon Connectline. Watch out in September for the new Widex Bluetooth hearing aids too. I think they will offer great alternative solutions, but will also be available in true CIC sizes.

I would like to encourage any hearing aid user to add a mobile phone adapter and a TV adapter to their kit. After years of struggling with the home phone and later mobile phone, I found that the Oticon Streamer for use with my ordinary cheap mobile phone and Epoq hearing aid transformed my communication. Previously an incoming mobile call in a noisy street was impossible to hear but with the Streamer, not only does the incoming sound go straight to the aid but the microphones picking up street noise are disabled during the call. The result is terrific, a totally functional conversation and no half-understood messages. I imagine the Nokia loop will offer similar benefits.

For years I used headphones to watch TV but there can be a feedback problem. The Oticon TV adapter is great with no lip sync delay as with ordinary Bluetooth adapters.

This comment sounds like a commercial puff but I have no commercial connection with Crystal hearing or John Lloyd. Dr A E Hanwell

Yes - see the article above regarding recycling. This should answer your question.

Thank you for contributing.

I have been reading and trying to learn about hearing aid batteries and the best way to dispose of them. In this Green era you would think more of an emphasis would be put on recycling hearing aids batteries. Do they exist?

My local council (Hackney) have been collecting used batteries as part of their weekly recycling collection for a couple of years, so my used hearing aid batteries are already recycled. From talking to friends I think this is a rare service, however. There’s a website where you can check whether you have a battery recycling point near to your postcode: http://www.recyclenow.com/what_can_i_do_today/can_it_be_recycled/waste_electronics/battery_recycling.html

About £80 - best thing to do is google them and check out companies like Ligo, Pricerunner or Amazon.

Comment on Hearing Aid Price Comparison by Aquilador

Certainly so. The advent of internet has enabled many people to surf the net for different hearing aid manufacturers, hence the consumer is so much more aware, in the present day, of what is on the market, how much it costs and what is available. For many years I had no idea what was available and relied on one person to keep me informed and to tell me what was best for me. The world is a much smaller place now and hearing aid technology and choice of aids much improved.

Yes it’s a great idea from Phonak, they do seem to be leading the field when it comes to accessories for hearing aids.
I have a few clients that will certainly be able to make use of the Click-n-Talk.
