Dylan S. Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 You still hear that sound, Dylan? Yes Ivana, I still can although it's not as noticeable. I suppose I've gotten more used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted January 21, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Pressure bandage now off and that horrible throbbing has dispersed! Still a little painful but a lot more manageable! Feeling more human and on the path to recovery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexmeek Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Hey everyone, I have successfully been using the Bonebridge now for 6 weeks and all is good. Everything has gone very well and i am now bionic and its part of my life. Its been an incredible journey and thank-you all for your support. If anyone has any questions im happy to answer and share my experience etc. Hope you all well. For all those gadget peops i wonder if you can help me with the Minitek? I was given the Siemens Minitek from my audiologist. I have connected it to my phone via Bluetooth and it registers as connected but i can't get any sound? The samba has been linked to it and i can here the programme beeps but it wont let me hear the phone ringing, music or TV. Im completely puzzled and wondered if anyone has experienced this? Please let me know your thoughts xx Cara Mia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted April 16, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Hello ALexmeek - welcome back! Glad to hear that everything went well... and that you're satisfied with results achieved up to now... Regarding your question, yes - setting of proper functional link between Samba and miniTEK is somewhat - "pain in the ass". It's not easy and it is question whether are your devices connected properly or not.... I needed almost 6 months to get a proper connection but only because my device was programmed by the engineer who does not live near me; he is almost 350 km away and I was not familiar what exactly I should do. If you can not hear anything through your Samba - there is a chance that option for using of Samba was not activated: this happened to me after the fact that my first miniTEK was not functioning at all. Also, the receiver of miniTEK has to be pretty near to your ear where Samba is because the link between the devices is not really strong. This was made because the connection is not Samba-specific so theoretically it could happen that any other Siemens hearing aid "jump" into your connection between your miniTEK and Samba. This is the most frequent mistake. I have tested my laptop - how strong is the connection between it and miniTEK: it was pretty well - devices linked between themselves even 10 metres away. Also, your audiologist need to program specifically programmes which will appear only for the purpose of listening music over the miniTEK and answering of the mobile phones calls. That is why I now have only 3 programmes when I do not have switched on miniTEK; when I do switch it on, I have all 5 programmes. I would advise if you set up everything with your audiologist at the separate session. Alexmeek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
