Hi, I am extremely interested in being in the meeting if I can. Earlier this year I tried a new pair of hearing aids that my Audiologist thought would be fantastic as I could control the programs and she could send me tweaks to my program also. It ended up to be a disaster. Accessibility just was not there. I gave up after 2 months and decided to keep my old set. However, these are coming to their end as it has been 8 years or so. I would buy a new pair if I could be assured of accessibility. I went to the link but only found an email address for contact. How do I find the form you are talking about. I would be happy to contact them. A question, however, do audiologists work with only one or two companies? I have so appreciate all the understanding and help my audiologist has given me, and I don't want to stop going there. I will try to find the form again, and I really, really hope we can meet with this company. Sounds like they would make some money if they helped us.

The lack of accessibility and commitment to fix it has been a long-standing problem. Last year I purchased new hearing aids from Oticon. Not only does the sound quality blow Resound right out of the water, the accessibility of their app is considerably better. When my audiologist was helping me select new yearing aids, she mentioned that she had attended a conference where there was limited discussion regarding accessibility of apps for individuals who are blind/visually impaired and using hearing aids. If my memory serves me right, she mentioned that Apple was working with several hearing aid companies to make sure pairing of the hearing aids went as smoothly as possible. May i suggest you contact Apple Accessibility to see which hearing aid companies they are working with on this project.

I am about to buy a new pair of hearing aids later this year. I have been considering ReSound , specifically because of their compatibility with iOs. I too, am a VoiceOver user. I will follow this thread with interest and would love to be advised if a meeting with ReSound rep occurs. I just sent subscrition request to blind hearing aid user list.
