Still a little confused since mentioned the mic on clothing.

So is the label mic a lapel mic? And is this wireless or connected

to another part of the device in some area? Are you saying this is

the T-mic built into the bwp or a regualr microphone that extends to

the head piece. I'm confused as you can see. Is the T-mic only used

on the BTE processor and not on BWP? Can the T-mic not be used on

the ear level part of the processor for BWP? Also, where are the

microphones that are on the BTE device? Are the mircorphones not up

close to the top of ear for hearing and is that why there is a T-

mic? What is the function of the other microphones if the T-mic is

being used in the ear canal? Also, does the T-mic pick up all sounds

that can't be filtered out in all hearing situations?

I'm even more confused on this because I have no hearing that comes

into my ear canal naturally as it was when I had normal hearing.

With my microphones, I have two on the top, one on each side. I

don't have any problems with phone conversations coming into the

microphone or positioning the phone next to my ear. After one or two

times, I just naturally put it where it has always been when I wore a

hearing aid. So for me having worn a hearing aid for many years, I

just became adjusted to holding the phone receiver to the mic. I

don't consider myself as looking odd or strange doing so. Just by

habit for me and not hard. Most people have no idea I wear a

cochlear implant processor as it's not seen or noticed in anyway,

even with my hair behind my ears.

OK another question. Someone asked a question on another board

recently asking if the earhook that is used for listening with FM

system has to be removed and T-mic added to be able to talk on the

phone?

I know this is a lot of questions, and hope you can take the time to

answer them.
