Hi Ibrahim
I'm a new member of the list but not a Book Courier owner. I am extremely
interested in purchasing one but have a problem. I have a severe hearing
loss therefore I am unable to use the normal listening methods of earphones
or earbuds. But a method exists of listening via inductive coupler, the T
switch setting of my hearing aids and a neck loop. But I'm having problems
finding out if it is compatible or not. I've spoken to George who doesn't
know but is prepared to give me a full refund if it is not. This is an
extremely generous offer but I feel it puts him to a good deal of cost and
inconvenience for the sake of an answer to a simple question. So I went to
Springer Support and asked them. The reply I received astounded me. "If it
has a 3.5 mm jack plug it will probably work" The depths of the lack of
knowledge was beyond words. A jack plug has no bearing on the acceptability
at all as I have several items that will not accept an inductive neck loop
signal.
So Ibrahim, to put your statement of knowledge to the test, can you help me
please? Alternatively if there are any hearing aid users on the list reading
this can I have your views please.
Many thanks
Roger
