Bogus, Has you mon had her hearing checked? And does she wear a hearing aid ?
oh, dear God no. the last time I suggested that, she turned into a weaping pile of death, claiming I was trying to destroy her being. I am not kidding.
With that said, a hearing aide is an amplifier, which means it is still amplifying a bad signal.
That's too bad and apparently a lot of people feel the same way and won't have their hearing checked. I know a lot about hearing loss, it put me into early retirement and cost me my career in electronics.
Hearing aids are way beyond just being an amplifier now. I started out with an analog that was just able to adjust the frequency gains and had a noise filter. The difference in todays digital is mind blowing, speech recoqinition, directional speech detection. acoustic signature switching and enviromental data logging are just part of it. The changes in just the last 3 years are amazing. There are aids now that are damn near invisable, go up into the canal and can't be seen unless you look directly into the ear from about 2 inches.
Switching to mono helps me. And the crappier the speakers, the better I can understand them.
