@arieswoman Thank you for the compliment. Those large room situations with many people talking will probably always be a challenge for us. Background noise is a 'monster' of sorts! I find the accessories that are available with my cochlear processor are very helpful although they are not perfect.

Otter and a few other apps on cell phones can help. My problem with those is that it's hard to look at the person I want to hear while looking down at my cell phone. I do far better with the mini mic that connects to my personal technology.

Do you have those add on accessories with your CI and HA?
