I find the mini mic to be a valued tool when I'm in noisy social environments. TV Captions work for me so I've not needed the TV transmitter. I recently upgraded my CI processor and find that I rarely need the captions now after having been dependent on them for years. It just keeps getting better and better!

One of the problems with some of the accessories is having them when you need them unexpectedly. If I'm in a sudden rainstorm I take off my external devices.

Many people who use hearing technology of any kind find that putting their devices in a 'dryer' makes sense when they are not being worn. This is especially important if you are in a humid climate or if you are a person who perspires a lot. Did your provider suggest a Dri Aid kit to store your external devices in when they are not in use?
