Guest guest Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Hi Alice , and snoopy Ok you guys..I have done my research!!LOL!I have been listening to my favorite song and singer for the past 15 minutes..He'll have to Go by Jim Reeves...this was a CD on my Boom box i have been enjoying music for almost 7 years without headphones or a patch cord..even while driving .It just was the mention of turning your Sen. way down that got me wondering about my map.Alice..do you turn it as far down as it will go?Here are the results of my independant research!!LOL!! With my N22 alone I have to have the Sen. at 3 before it sounds good With my N24C..3G..I began to hear it at 1 and one half but have to bring it up to 3 and one half..where it is set all the time..to really get full benefit of the music and lyrics. With both I turn my n22 down to 2 and one half and my N24C down to 3.And Wow..it fills my entire head!! Ok..now another question.. Does your sen setting on your 3G's gradually get louder ?I have a short space..from 3 to about 4 where it is good..then it takes a big jump to where it is way too loud.I do see my audiologist next Friday as he feels that it needs attention..

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Hi Pete Boy did I ever have lyrics wrong too!!I made up some real woozy ones of my own!! One I remember well was ny Cashs' Orange Blossem Express I always thought he was going to go to Florida to get some bad news..He was actually going there to get some sand in his shoes!! Music will keep getting better for you.. Love Dora Re: Dora This is interesting. Listening to music again be great Right now, if I know what I am listening to, I can " hear " it - the brain supplies the memory of the song - but if I don't know what is playing, I don't percieve it. It is just noise, and if I don't know the lyrics, its gibberish. A & E cable had a Neil Diamond concert on about a year ago that was live and captioned. Boy, I was glad it was captioned but because it was live, the lyrics were behind where the audio was. I taped it, and now that I have the lyrics, I can put them where they are suppposed to be in my brain without looking at the captions. PBS runs fund-raising concerts of R & B and early rock and roll that also are captioned but since they are taped, the lyrics are where they are supposed to be. Looking forward to enjoying music again, Pete It's amazing how much of favorite music from back when I was a teeenager have lyrics I had completely wrong when they were playing on the raido. So, I guess the instrumental music itself, and the singer's vice were what I was enjoying. > Hi Dora, > > I'm listening to music without headphones.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Hi Dora, I was not at the convention last year. I'm still fairly new to this group and SHHH. I joined the Nashville SHHH group recently and have to say, it's the most wonderful group of people. I look forward to seeing them all every month even though the drive for me is 2 hours and 15 minutes. I know there are closer groups in my area...an hours drive from my home, but the Nashville group is like family to me. Almost like a family reunion. Doing well with my surgery here and thanks for your post and greeting. Dixie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
