Very interesting day out I had.. and completely knackered at the end of the night!!!
I went to Ear Foundation as usual for the workshop. this time was very different.. 3 experts came to show us and help us experiment with equipments they have brought with them.
I tried again the bluetooth for mobile again.. but no joy because it did not work with my new iphone that I got last Wednesday.Urgghh!!
I complained to AB expert that I dont like radio aid or switch to "T" because I cannot hear my own voice. they informed me that I could have a programme that is 50/50 which means that I can have 50/ for T and /50 for normal (can hear my own voice)
They check my programme through the laptop, being careful not to touch the programmes that Ropewalk have set it. They notice I only got T switch programme and normal programme. so I have to ring Ropewalk to get 50/50 programme set up. Urggh another trip!!
I tried the new smartlink+ that Phonak expert brought along... Wow! sound "sharper" than my smartlink which is the older version! no crackling noises can be heard. I tried the one that AB expert got called "inspiro", I dislike it because could hear the crackling.
I had my session with Maria, a very good it was and I thought I did well with the listening skill. I recognised a lot more sentences without knowing what the topic was. I practise my speech too, it was much harder this time with vowel in. shame it was for half an hour. It would be good to have 1 hour, but I could not afford it!
After the workshop, we went 10 pins bowling (AB team won vs Freedom/me dels!!!) and pizza at Pizzahut next door.. and then to pub for a quick drink as it was rather late, and one of the adult fell asleep in the pub!
