HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 16, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Today I had two interesting experiences with my CIs. It is snowing here so schools are closed. I had been listening to an audiobook with my Artone BT neckloop when I decided to go out and snow blow. At first I considered pausing the book and leaving the neckloop inside because I thought it would encounter interference (buzzing) from the snow blower. Then I decided to test it out. I was AMAZED that it did not buzz! There was a quiet motor sound, but no unpleasant buzzing! So I turned up the volume slightly on my audiobook and started snow blowing. Smile. After only 20 minutes, the dead battery warning on the Artone sounded. I had not thought this through well. I had been listening for hours before going outside. So I paused the audiobook and turned off the Artone. Then I realized that my FineTuner was inside. Thankfully Med-El designs our processors to ALWAYS turn on in the M setting! So a quick off and back on to each processor and I was back on M! Thank you Med-El for that very useful feature! Thinking that the snow may have reduced the number of people at the DMV, I headed there to renew my driver’s license. I was correct. No lines! All was progressing well. I understood all the various questions until I thought I heard, “Are you still five too?” I asked the worker to repeat the question. Yup I heard it right! “Are you still 5’2”?” Smile How were your listening days HP folks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted January 18, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 Just this morning I was sitting in my manager's office - we were talking about a project we're working on that involves some of the people who sit in cubes outside his office. Bob started speaking very quietly so that the others couldn't overhear and I was able to hear him well AND lower my own voice appropriately. Amazing.
