Mom\/Grandma got some new hearing aids yesterday, and it looks like they are going to be a big improvement.<\/p>\n
She got the Bernafon Verite 6 from Costco. After putting them in, she thought they weren’t working at first because sounds weren’t distorted or tinny sounding like they were with her previous hearing aids. Yet she could hear us talking even in quiet voices, so obviously they were working.<\/p>\n
Later, sitting at home in her apartment, she suddenly looked up at her cuckoo clock and said, “I can hear it ticking!” She hasn’t heard that for a long time.<\/p>\n
They come with Bluetooth, a wireless connection. It allows her to hear her TV directly through the hearing aids, and also answer and talk on the telephone without touching the phone.<\/p>\n
The TV part works well, but there is a bug or defect in the telephone system. I could get her cell phone working fine, but not the home phone. So for now she will have to continue actually picking up the handset to talk. But I’m pretty sure we will get that worked out eventually.<\/p>\n
So welcome back to the hearing world, Mom!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
