Sina, That must be happening with me, although I don't have a hearing aid. I always have at least a slight ringing in my ears and I have trouble telling exactly where things are coming from especially in rooms with hard surfaces.

I had no problem with them. But, I will note that Laura, you use a hearing aid, the last time I checked, and I know that has got to just completely suck, because they add in noise, and your hearing aid is going to amplify that noise, regardless of the good stuff in there. To put it another way ... You lose out on the natural filtering ability that most of us take for granted because our ear knows what to fixate on.

Man what a mess! I can't make heads or tails of the jumble of syllables and voices and tones. I can't hear a single thing that sounds like a character or a number, and I listened to it 6 times. Is there a trick to using this thing? It asked for the characters and provided a link for audio, which I am glad for, but if it isn't understandable it defeats the purpose.
