• Yep, I have a hearing impairment and I don't deny that and nor do I hide it but I don't particularly like people using my hearing impairment to put down any point I'm trying to make. I think you've taken this out of context. I am *Not* trying to "Put down" anything. I'm simply trying to make the point that what sounds good to you may sound different to others. Just as is true visa versa. • It can be said quite truthfully that people with hearing impairments are often more fussy about the quality of audio than people who have full hearing and that's probably because we need to make the most of our hearing. I totally agree with that. I am not trying to put you down in any way at all. • All I say to you is, listen to the audio on the internal speaker of an Iphone and then get something else like a Nokia N85 and compare the difference for yourself. I already have, and that's precisely the point I'm trying to make. • The audio of the phone of the Iphone is well known for not being "The Best" despite what I say, yep its far better than "The Worst" but certainly not "The Best". I don't ever claim it is "the best". • I know plenty of people who have both an Iphone and another device, whether that be a Talks compatible or Windows Mobile compatible phone for this very reason, they get better performance from the phone on the other device than they do from an iPhone. Again that's down to personal choice. • Obviously I can't comment on your particular Android phone having never seen nor played with it let alone know what model of Android phone you have nor the brand or manufacturer but what I can do is comment on the Android phone I have played with which is the hugely successful Samsung Galaxy II and I've made some observations in the previous message. It wasn't mine. • Again, the phone of this device out performed that of the Iphone and its not just me who says this from my testing, I stated that I know a Mobile Engineer who is also blind who works for one of the big phone company's in Australia and testing mobile phones and evaluating them is part of his job. I can't comment as I've never used one. But I say again Dane, I was not trying to put you or anybody else down. I was simply making the perfectly fair point that things sound different to a hearing aid user to how they sound naturally. Neither you nor anybody else could deny that because it's true.
