Hi, I have Widex aids..and they are 6 years old..and cost me $5,000 way back then. My hearing has gotten worse, and it seems that words seem to be not clear when listening to people. Loudness is not the problem, but my doctor said my Eustachian tubes are collapsed and that is what is making clearness in the words hard to understand, and they sound muffled. What I would like is a hand held little I Phone type thing that I could carry with me and when I am at a store or else where,,,when someone talks to me, I can just hold the I Phone and it can just print out what the person is saying, and I can read it and answer them. I used to hear perfectly before but gradually, got nerve damage and the eustachian tube problem..Has anyone ever seen or heard of such a device that would simply print out what someone is saying and you could read it? I get tired of always having to tell people, "I'm sorry,,I have poor hearing,,could you speak slower or clearer"
With a little printer device that typed out when people spoke,,,I could simply look at it, and know what they said.... Thanks.
