electronic component with a thin plas-
tic tube that carried sound to the ear
canal. The end of the tube was fit with
a small, soft silicone dome that did not
block off the ear canal. The result was a
comfortable and almost invisible hearing
aid. Later the loudspeaker was moved
from the housing to the dome in the ear
canal. This has become the most popular
style of hearing aid, called “receiver-in-
the-ear” (RIE) or “receiver-in-the-canal”
(RIC) depending on the manufacturer.
My old hearing aids would connect to
the television through a device I had to
wear like a necklace. The system never
worked all that well and soon broke.
The cost of a replacement would have
purchased a new deer rifle, so I never
bothered to get another.
My new ReSound LiNX Quattro hear-
ing aids are an engineering marvel. They
connect to my television using Bluetooth
and a small box plugged into the televi-
sion. My wife will now watch television
in the same room with me. I can dial up
the volume in my hearing aids and bump
up the speech clarity. I no longer have to
turn up the TV volume to window-rattling
levels. In this modern multi-media world,
I can watch a shoot-’em-up while listening
to the television through the hearing aids
while my wife watches some 15th-century
drama full of castles and English twits in
foolish costumes on her Kindle.
Marital bliss has followed.New technology has resulted in hearing
aids that are nearly invisible and provide
a comfort level like never before.- Purchase CMP M1 Rifle
