Thank you, Julie. My hubs is getting used to closed captioning. It does help. I find that I miss alot of the nuances of the dialogue without it, especially punch lines or clues in a mystery! Without them, I find that I lull myself to sleep from the fatigue of trying to follow the plot. My hearing aides are about 5 yrs old. They do not have blue tooth. I have blue tooth ear buds which I use for my tablet, etc. I tried connecting them to the tv and it was great except hubs could not hear the tv! It cut out the sound entirely for him. So, I'm exploring my next steps. Just browsing here, I wonder if it's time for me to go to a MD for audiology. My current audiologist says there's not much that can be done for tinnitus and the "loose wire" type of cognitive processing I have with speech.
