I had a horrible evening at the theater last night with my Halos I'm testing. The audio was SO loud to me that I had to turn the sound down so then I couldn't hear the dialog. I tried SoundSpace, restaurant setting and everything else. Anybody have any input or ideas????
Also could somebody PLEASE tell me how to post this question just to the Starkey/Halo community instead of just Hearing??? I've tried to find the answer to this but am feeling very stupid!!!!
Thanks!
Public spaces are loud. Those of us who are hearing impaired may not realize how loud public spaces, and especially movies, can be, until we begin wearing hearing aids.
You will want to check with your audiologist, who can provide a tuned setting for your hearing aids to help with your movie theater experience. There is likely nothing you can do on your own.
Personally, I don't go to theaters any more. Without closed captions, I can't understand dialogue, even with my hearing aids.
Thanks, OldGnome! I stopped going to theater, too. They actually asked me to come and test their new assisted hearing system BUT didn't tell me I needed aids with a t-coil!!!!!! Since I'm testing the Halos, I figured I would try again. Was just wondering if anybody had a magic wand/cure.
Do I have this posting thing figured out??? I want to be in the Starkey Halo thread. Frustrating!!!
Thanks for your help!
Karen - welcome. Where you are posting is just fine. It's not necessary to continue a thread, because you have a new problem to bring to us.
There are those who feel that the lack of a T-Coil is a great weakness in the Halos.
I assume you are both talking about movie theatres? I wish someone could tell me how they have conquered hearing at live theatre. The Stratford Festival season will soon begin and I'd love to find it "too loud"!!!!!
Yes, movie theaters. Live theater is a complete waste of my time. Again, without closed captions, I can't watch any movie, TV, etc.
IT works in the regular theater!!! Going today to have it installed!!
But karenfromprovidence doesn't that rely not just on your aids having the telecoil but also on the theatre being looped? I have never been in a Canadian theatre that announces it is looped. Is it better in the US?
Yes, theater has to be looped which this one is. So frustrating!!
