Raymond is doing extremely well with his CI. He is still learning new sounds, playing with the CD music, etc. He practices listening to music while reading the lyrics at the same time, and trying it later without the lyrics in front of him. Doing well in this area, still quite a ways to go, but coming along.
Raymond has a cell phone and it is Bluetooth enabled. He discovered he can have a neckloop that is Bluetooth capatible with his cell phone. He ordered one yesterday and hopes to have it by next week.

For the hard of hearing, there is a variety of "Assistive" technologies; for example: FM, Infrared, Loop System etc. Bluetooth is the latest technology that is being incorporated into Assistive Listening Devices. In each case, you need like product to complete the transmission. Example: to use a FM Receiver, you need an FM Transmitter. This applies to Bluetooth products. To use a Bluetooth MaxIT Neckloop, you require Bluetooth enabled products.
A MaxIT will work with:
Any standard Bluetooth enabled Mobile Phone.
Any standard Bluetooth enabled computer.
Any standard Bluetooth enabled cordless phone
etc, etc.
There are other Bluetooth neckloops:

As you google this, I am sure you will find something that would be capatible with your cell phone or whatever you want it for.
Once he gets the neckloop, I will fill you in on how he made out with it. There is a 30 day policy on the item, if he does not like it, he can return it no problem. So that is one good thing.
Until next time....
