    RT @helgarhelgar: Any Vandals? http://t.co/qmiOfrmJ

    This goes along with the 2nd point of my wishlist. Hearing aids and peripheral hardware should be compatible independent of the vendors. For this, standards for hardware and software have to be established. Those standards should be public. This would make the hearing aid market more open and lively since it would open doors for new companies and open source projects to develop hardware and software that is compatible to the established vendor’s devices and as such attractive for the customers.

    Anyway, I bought a set of those rechargeable batteries. Of course 8 hours are way to short for my day, so I planned to switch to normal batteries or another set of rechargeable batteries after that. The first problem I ran into was that the charging station that was available from Siemens required to put the complete hearing aids with the batteries in there. There was no way to only put the batteries in there. Of course that is not possible if you still want to wear the hearing aids after the first 8 hours of the day. I wonder who thought of this stupid design.

    From my own experience I guess that one reason for this is that the tuning never takes place in a realistic hearing setting, but in the audiologist’s soundproof cabin. The only information he has is what I describe about that situation where I was not able to understand my friend at that party last week. In comparison, if you bring your car to a car repair shop and describe in what situations it makes problems, they for sure will try to reproduce the situation in order to examine it and fix the problem. The only thing audiologists do sometimes is taking you out on the street for a minute or two [1].

    Same applies to when my hearing aids break when I was doing something that might be considered “risky” with respect to the hearing aids. For example, am I allowed to attend a martial arts class with my hearing aids? Can my insurance refuse to pay the reparation if they break during that class? What about when I accidentally have a shower with my hearing aids on? (It happens because when you wear them every day, you forget that you are wearing them.) What about when I attend an open air concert, it starts raining and I did not seek cover, because I did not want to miss the awesome performance? Those situations might sound constructed, but actually they happen if you are are not an old grandpa, but a young person with an active life.

    What I want here is that interested and skilled patients are allowed to get a “hearing aid tuning license”. Similar to a driving license, I imagine that you take some classes and maybe have to do a test and in the end you are allowed to tune your own hearing aids. Most hearing conditions are permanent, which means as a young person, you are facing several decades of having to wear hearing aids. In that situation you might as well spend some weeks on learning how to tune your hearing aids yourself in order to be more independent.

    living on a boat excitement: just saved a fish from the toilet bowl (got drawn in with the flush water!)

    Monday 12:33

    The point of this in any case is to be able to change the casings according to my whim on the day, so having paid £139.95 to have the casings replaced I’d put them straight back in the mail to have them put on a new colour, insisting they return all the originals, and as soon as I had 3 colours available to me at home I’d change them about 3 times a week, so the idea of them putting on a special cover in their special repair lab is preposterous… as is the fee! Changing the casing on a Naida involves pushing out 4 retaining pins, putting on the new case and replacing 4 retaining pins. Good money if you can get it!

    Monday 8:48

    seagull has been calling by the boat for the last hour. wonder who/why he/she is calling like that.

    Monday 8:56

    ok, I select MDEX as the audio device in Skype, and it thinks a call is ongoing

    The compatibility between hearing aids and peripheral hardware and consumer electronics like phones and mp3 players is often very bad. My bluetooth adapter often fails to pick up calls, so the first thing I do when someone calls is asking “Do you hear me? Wait, I don’t hear you, I’ll call you back.” And seriously, especially in a work environment, that is quite embarrassing and annoying.
