mcnarym1 Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Just curious, it's probably a dumb question but how do you all listen to music? With headphones? I ask because I was implanted in my left ear so that made my left ear completely deaf, if I were to put headphones in that ear, I wouldn't hear a thing. Is there something that you can essentially hook to your processor to hear? Same thing goes for the phone. I can sort of make it out when talking to someone on speaker. My right ear is also been weak at hearing since I was younger so I can never understand anything clearly in that ear therefore my left one was the dominant ear for phone calls until I lost my hearing. Tips on what I can do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted August 5, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 I just play mine on my iPad and listen. I have used the dai cable as well. I'm bimodal so I have an ha in one ear and implant in the other so I can't use t hooks. Plus my hearing in the unimplanted ear is so poor I couldn't even use the neckloop with another adl. So I stick with just my iPad!! I love hearing music again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Jdashiell Posted November 21, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 I am a musician with a home studio, I want to use headphones but now I am bimodal. I would still like to hear using each device like I do with my iPhone and Quattro 4. Looking for creative ideas. Any other musicians out there?

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted November 21, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 BOSE over the ear noise cancelling headphones work great. Cara Mia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Cara Mia Posted November 21, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Hi Jdashiell, If your HA has a built in T-coil, then you can use headphones with no problem - just put headphones over your CI and HA and switch CI to the T mode. Your HA also could have the special program with T mode (my model had that on the button #3). Or like Mary Beth advised, use headphones in M mode.

HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted January 13, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I have no problems using headphones and hear quite well. The DAI cable is another option for you as well as the Quattro or an FM system. I think each person is different and might prefer one over the other. Try different options and see which works best for you. If you can report back to the group what you found works for you, this could help others that have the same question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
