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.

New Earmolds: OUCH.

I thought I'd do a vlog today about my new earmolds plus a little background information about the anatomy of a hearing aid and just random thoughts about them that I was babbling about. I tried to do captioning and can't quite figure it out. Anyone who knows how to do this, help! Also, I know most people could care less about it. I guess I just wanted to put it on there so that people who are curious can see. I know so many of my friends have waited years before they've asked me anything about my hearing aids because they were afraid to (I have no idea why... am I really that scary?). So... yeah. Just givin' a shout out to the deaf community :)

Also, check THIS out, in the future kids can get Spongebob Squarepants hearing aids! I'm not sure I would have been comfortable having them because I was mainstream and always wanted to be inconspicuous, but I think this is awesome that kids have the option to do this! So cool!
