If I have any problems I can contact them, of course, but otherwise this is the program I will have for the next three months. There are actually two programs uploaded into this gizmo. One has filters that monitor the environment I'm in and adjust that environment so that I hear it the best. In other words, if I walk into a noisy restaurant it will attempt to filter out the extraneous background noise so those voices close to me are better understood. The second program has no filters at all. I wanted that so when I'm out in the woods I can hear true sounds of nature without any filtering being done.
I have talked on the phone twice and both times were with women. One call was great and worked just fine. I really had to concentrate but made it through the call okay. Again, I'm tickled that I can do that and I've been on the thing less than one month. The other call was a dismal failure. I think it was just the difference in voice frequencies. For those of you that wear hearing aids you probably understand what I mean. Some folks you can understand on the phone and some you can't. That's what this was I think.
Anyway, that the latest. Super tuned and the oil changed. I'm on the road again.
