The car is one place I definitely use the fm system. My daughter cannot hear me

as she sits in the back seat and my voice is projecting forward. And you also

have the road noise and car noise, the fm is wonderful in the car.

I think the public school would still have to provide the equipment. There is a

court case about the public school having to pay for a sign language interpreter

at a private religious school and I can't see where fm equipment would be any

different if it were in the IEP.

Re: hearing impaired and apraxic

I'm just learning about micro links from reading Listen-Up. The micro link

seems to be the favored choice, but it has maintenance problems. We don't

have one yet. I want to put it into the IEP and was debating if I should

fight the school district about buying it. We go to a private religious

school and I guess the public schools don't HAVE to pay for it. It seems

ridiculous to me because we may end up back in public schools and one would

think they would want my child to have heard the teachers along the way. I

have read that people use the micro links for in the class room, gym class,

after schools classes..... I wonder if it could be used in the car.

My daughter's hearing loss is getting worse, so we are working on that

right now. I'm feeling very overwhelmed with keeping on top of everything.

I need a secretary!

Oh, has anyone found a way to better sound proof their car?

And does everyone use a Dry and Store? We just leave the hearing aids out

on the counter!

www.eartech.com is the manufacturer, but you can't buy from them. I know

that www.powerpalace.com sells them without a shipping charge, and has a

good deal on the dessicant bricks.

There anywhere you should not use them??

Thanks

I apologize, I should be more specific. The Microlink is Phonak's version

of a BTE (not body-worn) FM system. The receiver is a little boot that

slips onto the end of the hearing aid. It does not have an external

antenna. The transmitter is a small pager-sized box that is clipped to a

belt or waistband, and has a cord to a lapel mic. There may be newer

configurations, I haven't kept up with the latest designs. I think the

digital HAs have the FM built in, so there is no boot (I'm not certain about

this). Other hearing aid companies have their version of FM systems. You

could get more info from their websites. They can be used anywhere except

where they would get wet. I used it when I went on the class trip to a

museum. I lost sight of my daughter, so I spoke into the mic and told her

to raise her hand so I could find her. It was perfect, because she never

would have heard me with the noise level in the museum.
