Absolutely correct. And the salespeople are equally as clueless. They even recommended I contact my phone carrier for support. And the stupid audiologist who sold me these otherwise fine devices agreed with them, saying he thought it was the best idea! Wait until I go back for my first follow-up on the 13th and tell him the interest I've aroused on this list! I hope all you ReSound users are carrying the flag over to the ReSound people and letting them know we're out here and something needs to be done. Of course, we don't have to get militant on them, or in the words of a set of books I just finished reading, we don't have to get western on them (LOL), but we're out here, and equal access isn't just an idea any more.

Dear Steve: & List:
What an example of badly written software!
They likely never considered what a blind hearing aid user would need!

Subject: Anyone who uses hearing aids, please read

I just got some the day before yesterday from a company called Resound 
(https://www.resound.com/en-us/hearing-aids/resound-hearing-aids/quattro).
This model is controllable from an iOS device, but wouldn't ya know it, turn 
Voiceover on, and everything just falls over. The Smart-3D application goes 
completely haywire with Voiceover in focus. It automatically changes programs 
(hearing-aid profiles) in a round-robin fashion without any human interaction 
and with no way to stop it, and there are two on-screen buttons which are 
unlabeled and unresponsive when double-tapped. Of course, I wrote to the 
manufacturer with details of the problem, and I got a very nice reply that said 
that my message would be forwarded on to the developer for further action. Of 
course, those messages always sound like black holes to me, so I thought I'd 
take my troubles to the best place of which I could think--this list. If 
anyone's familiar with these aids and this software, please sing out, with my 
profound thanks in advance.
