Bluetooth where are you?

Who else is waiting for the sweet-ass technology of music/radio hearing aids? When I got my new hearing aids a few years ago, they were supposed to be so super fancy with bluetooth that I could listen to music through them... but only via wearing a thing around my neck. I was hoping I could stick that thing (receiver? I don't know the correct term) in my pocket or purse or something, but for some reason, the cord had to be around my neck otherwise it wouldn't work. So it was a no-go. Besides, it also cost a lot of money. But I'm wondering now why there ISN'T more technology headed in that direction that I know of. As far as I know, the bluetooth technology that IS out there is wireless, but it still requires something like the one I had--I had to have the cord around my neck--there were definitely uncomfortable restrictions that made the bluetooth hard to use. Well, not hard. But conspicuous. I'm an inconspicuous kinda' girl.

Thank god I have my huge headphones. Don't know what I would do without them, especially now during finals week.
