Hi listers and all on the list with hearing inmpairments. I have a neck loop, which I found I could use with the t coil on my hearing aid with some devices, for example, the library talking book machines. I could do this without using anything else, in other words, like an earphone. But when I tried it on the bn, I got no sound whatsoever. I wonder if this is something pdi or one of it's reps would like to talk about a little on the list, since we do have some hearing impaired people here.
