Using bluetooth & MP3 players with hearing aids.

[securespark]

Does anybody know how I can set up my hearing aids to link up with my bluetooth mobiles & an MP3 player (part of one of my mobiles)?

I'm having trouble finding out. I have a Nokia 6021 for work & a SE K800i for pleasure. The K800i has an MP3 player.

My hearing aids are Oticon Spirit II (left) and Spirit 3P (right).

Have to tried contacting RNID for instructions or maybe join the RNID forum(?)

or try Connevans

Hi masona, thanks for answering my call, much appreciated! I hoped you would, but haven't seen you round here much lately...

I have tried the RNID forum, but their "register for the forum" link is broken.

Will try Connevans.

Have you any experience in this area?

Edit: Have just e-mailed connevans & Sony Ericsson too. Will also e-mail Nokia.

The newer hearing aids are very unnoticeable, won't people look at you strangely when you just start talking in Sainsburys?

No, can't use the mobile I only use it for text and my hearing is too bad for me to listen to music

mas-

I'm really sorry, mate, I didn't realise your hearing loss was quite so severe.

gcol - not worried too much about yacking in the supermarket - in practice it rarely happens. 99% of calls are taken in the van or at home or at the customer's premises.

This is what Connevans have come up with. Despite my request for DAI connection, they seem to favour using the "T" setting. I seem to remember someone saying that DAI is superior to using a loop - anyone know the score in that department?

securespark, get their free catalogue, so much info which I find it easier to read,

You may need this instead which is easier http://www.deafequipment.co.uk/store/viewCategory.do?id=299 but I'm not sure though

My noggin is spinning!

Think I'll get the catalogue...

Thanks a lot, mas. Much appreciated.

You all look a prick with that lump in your ear

You all look a p***k with that lump in your ear

Joe 90's posts aside, that's about the most stupid statement I think I've read on this forum.
