I have a new hearing aid. Not brilliant but it does have a telecoil so that I can use the Hearing Loop systems in shops etc. Today I thought I would try it out in Sainsburys. Discretely switched the button on my HA, so as not to draw attention to myself...knocked it out and it fell on the floor :oops: A passing assistant picked it up for me :oops:
I put it in my pocket then and never tried it out. I'm passed being embarrassed now :roll: :lol:

Oh dear :oops: :lol:

Shame you didn't get to try it out though, it's bound to take up less space in your handbag than that trumpet ;)

Aww Loz, what a shame, I hope you get another chance to try it soon - with superglue ;)

Actually I did try it out at the vet's on Friday and it worked :D I was very happy as it blocked out the surrounding noise and the voice of the receptionist was sent directly to my HA. It's not a lot but it actually felt I was getting a little bit back of something precious :D

Oh gosh yes, I can (almost) imagine!

I overheard someone the other day saying they could only manage if there was a loop, it's only really since you've been telling us about it that I've understood better :)

Well done, Loz ..... I'm sure you'll find it all less and less intrusive as you get used to it .....
