Compatible Blue Tooth neckloop

[Guest guest]

That is a good bluetooth neckloop. I have one. But wait a bit longer

until Clearsounds releases the newest version which will support more

protocols. It was to have been out April 1st but I have not seen it yet.

I am new to cochlear extra equipment and wanted to know if someone could help me

finding something that I can use to help me hear from my iphone. I just

received my implant in December 2009 but can already hear pretty clearly out of

it, but still unable to speak on a phone. Would a Bluetooth help me with that?

And if so , what kind would fit the Freedom 5 implant and and AT & T iphone?

Thanks to anyone who could help me with this. I hate not being able to talk on

the phone, and have heard that maybe a Bluetooth would help me with that, if

not, what do I need to be able to hook up to my Freedom 5 cochlear and iphone to

be able to hear on the phone again?

Thanks!!!!!

,

You have the older CLA7 neckloop? The v2 model comes with 4 adapters.

You either will use the 2.5 or the 3.5mm size. Each also has mono or stereo

plugs.

The Bluetooth devices we are talking about are small, and may have

adapters also to fit 2.5 or 3.5. They also need to be charged up. Somewhat

of a hassle when one already has a truckload of battery operated devices to

be kept charged. LOL

Yes, zero. I thought you didnt want to hear grunting of other people

working out. LOL

The Bluetooth neckloop can go inside the t shirt and uh, hide out very

comfortably. LOL But sweat might be a problem eventually. See, even Bob

doesnt want to go near that. ROFL

Re: Compatible Blue Tooth neckloop

Neither!!! LOL

I usually just watch the television.. .HLN news in the morning since it is

so early. I am considering listening to music on my MP3 player, but I do not

have a fanny pack, nor a strap to put on my arm, nor do some of my workout

clothes have pockets. So I need to work on this. Otherwise I just listen to

the music they pipe through their speakers there...but then I'm listening to

people pounding on the treadmills, etc.

Let's try this again.  My internet connection is really slow for some reason. 

  

Yes, I have the older model that only came with one adaptor.  So Bob's

assessment is probably correct.

Actually our gym has a policy against grunting and slamming weights, so it

isn't too bad.  But today, there were several people talking which interfered

with the music.  So, it would be nice to listen to music when I'm working out

on  nautilus machines and doing my ab workouts, etc.

And Bob...you are so politically correct.  Obviously you learned quickly and

are no dummy.  Now , on the other hand.....

LOL

Drat the internet.  I am having to sit and wait for it constantly.   

Yes, ...a 10 foot pole you will need...LOL

I'm considering the new CLA7.  But I'm also considering a new cell phone too

since I made a huge mistake in getting the Blackberry Storm.  It does not have

M4/T4 compatability...and so while I can hear on it, it is a challenge to

understand everything that is said.  So now I'm avoiding the phone altogether,

trying to get people to text me instead.    I feel like I'm going backwards

instead of forward.  Heck of a note, huh?

And, BTW....me sweat???  Never!!!  LOL  Actually, I am finally getting to the

point where I do sweat when I work out...must mean I'm finally making progress,

huh?  But now I'm wondering if I'll be able to continue.  Was denied at the

blood bank today...they wouldn't let me donate because of an irregular

heartbeat...which is still continuing as I type.    Hopefully it will kick

back into regular beats by tomorrow morning's workout.  Looks like it is back

to the doctor I go next week.

I do have an 8 foot pole. LOL

Yes I know what you mean about being set back with the phone.

Someitmres I do well then I get someone who is hard to understand. Like

when I made a 9-1-1 call recently. That is not the time to have trouble.

LOL

I thought it was the other way, you sweat when starting out and sweat

less as you get into shape.

Won't go there with the pole...

911 call????  Something serious happened to call for 911???

And there you go, now you know how out of shape I was...couldn't push

myself hard enough to even start sweating!!!  LOL  But now I'm seeing

results...but am a little worried I'll get slapped by the doctor and told not

to do anything for awhile.

LOL The pole is put aside.

Last year some woman was sitting IN the street with a liittle kid. She

was apparently waiting for someone but sheesh, sitting on the street with a

kid running around and drivers unsure what was going on.

So I called and the dispatcher was asking me questions I could not quite

grasp. Come to find out, they are trained to ask lots of questions,

specific ones. So you cant just call and relay a problem and be done with

it. LOL Cop drove by shortly after and told the woman to get off the

street.

It comes down to understanding by context. I didnt expect the questions

and was not ready to deal with that. But I did tweak my phone some time

after that and think it will be better. I think it was a kind of voice

enhancement feature that some phones have which in this case, made

understanding speech worse.

Hope the doc clears you for more workouts. LOL

Funny you should mention calling 911 today.  I was just thinking about

that...knowing that if I had to call my kids or 911 I would definitely not be

able to understand what they are asking or saying unless I know what the context

is....and when it is an emergency...time may be of the essence...

Well this may help. I found out the 9-1-1 center is right downtown and

I can call and arrange a tour. So I may do that and while there, discuss

Upgrading to the CLA7V2 would kill two birds with one stone, .

First, it would eliminate the T coil incompatibility - the BUZZ - of the BB

Storm by distancing the BB from the processor T coil.

BTW, the CLA7V2 is now shipping with 5 adapters - the fifth designed especially

for iPhones and Blackberries ( 3.5mm, 4 conductor plug)

That won't help with the BUZZ, of course, when you might want to use the phone

sans neckloop.

Second, your gym music will sound a lot better. The original CLA7, with the

adapter, delivers the L channel only to the neckloop. With the CLA7V2, you'll

have R+L merged!

That does sound superb, Bob.  I've thought about using the BB with

the neckloop, but it can be a pain making sure you have the neckloop with you

at all times.  Currently I keep my old neckloop with my gym bag so I know I'll

have it with me everyday when I go to the gym.  I'll have to do some thinking

on this, and then of course, I'll have to make time to " shop " for the

best price out there.  I paid way too much for my last neckloop...don't want

to make that mistake again. 

Hmmm, if I were to get both the bluetooth and v2 neckloops, how would I

juggle all of that???  Bluetooth would be good with cell phone, and also the

gym if I get the BT transmitter, but the newer v2 neckloop would be good with

the MP3 player....oh, dear, this is making me dizzy....and so confused...as to

the best way to marry all of my needs the most efficiently and

effectively....and to make sure I have what I need where I need it the most...
