Hi ,

Since you need to use the phone for work, would your company consider

buying the part for you as a " reasonable accommodation " ? Never hurts to

ask. Glad my telecoil is built in.

The 90 day warranty reminds me of a $3,000 sewing machine I bought a

while back. 25 years warranty. All right. Sewed everything on it, and

burned out the motor 1 years and 2 days after I bought it. So I took it

back and found out the small print said 25 years warranty excluded the

motor. WHAT? What else needs to be guaranteed? Because I cannot

imagine anything else on a steel sewing machien NEEDING a 25 year

warranty. I raised hell about it, and got the motor replaced, but it

took a LOT of arguing back and forth.

So always read the fine print. And see if the company will spring for

the part you need.

The Original

Well good and bad things have happened this week

Bad is that my telephone adapter is no longer working..There is a short

on the cord that is creating tons of static.. With that I contacted

Bionics only to be told that there is a 90 day warranty on this part and

seeing that I have had it since Febrauary it is not covered.. For $80.00

they will send me another one..That is so nice of them, seeing that this

whole sebang has cost my insurance company over $60,000.00 they only

warrant certain parts for 90 days.. Now sad part is I do 99.9% of my job

on the telephone and this helps me greatly having this part.. So since it

is not working my job has gone downhill and stress time are upon me

again.. Until I can come up with the $80.00 to buy another one I guess

that work days are on high stress and limited...

But I also had good news.. I was told my new system is at the medical

center and they are just waiting to hear that I can be called in to get

it up and running.. But that also may not help me with my hearing on the

phone as well as the adapter has.. They are hoping to be able to let me

have it before the first of the year.. They were given 5 units but have

70 people waiting on them.. Luckily I am the first that is to get one..

And very much hope that it helps if/when I get it to hear on the

telephone..

Thanks for listening.
