I have a severe to profound hearing loss and can understand the BN's speech if the volume is set to 30 or higher and the rate is set to 5. I don't use speech because the Braille display is more efficient for me to use and because I'm concerned about damaging the BN's speaker output because of the volume level.
For those of you who are hearing impaired, have any of you used an assistive listening device/FM system with your BrailleNote or VoiceNote? I have a DAI (direcct audio input) boot cord for my hearing aids and was thinking that I could plug that into the headphone jack of the BN. I've tried using headphones but I experience distortion when setting the volume to a level that I can hear.
