Wondering if you've tried a streamer with the hearing aids, or if your audiologist even mentioned those to you? There are some terrific assistive technologies that work in noisy social settings. Also some strategies about where to sit or stand. I've been carrying an 'extension microphone' around with me since learning about them back in the 90s. It isn't perfect, but it sure helps. You are using Phonak products. Did the audi tell you about the Roger Pen mike?

Enjoy the time with your family. Smile a lot and try to pull those grand kids aside for some one on one conversation. I'm doing just that, this weekend as I'm at 'Parents/Grandparents weekend' at UW LaCrosse. 🙂 Let the good times roll!

I brought them up and she wanted to wait and see if the HA worked before ordering them. Bill is using a TV streamer and helps us out, although he has it so loud in his ear that I can hear it from his HAs and daughter Robin can even hear it in the kitchen (this is with the TV muted for the rest of us. I can't make out the words so doesn't help me but Robin can even hear the words.

Have a wonderful time at UW LaCrosse. Son Craig is moving from Madison this month to Phoenix! Part of my Irish clan settled in Fond du Lac county in around 1848 or so - McNeely. My Mom used to visit their farm in the summer. She and her cousin collected dried cow pies to see who could get the most. I have a strange family lol.
