Got my BP100 today
« on: April 12, 2010, 03:45:44 pm »
So far so good...I love it. No feed back sounds yet.  I felt like a Sci-Fi movie where I was attached to a pc (which I was) and was programmed.  But programmed for good and not evil...lol....
Just like the demo, there was no WOW factor as I was use to being SSD.  But when I plug up my good ear, that is when the WOW factor comes in...especially when I can now put the phone to my left ear (actually the unit) and I can hear...That is so great..Now writing something down wont be a hassle...I'm right handed and use to  hold the phone to left ear..for the past 4 yrs I hand to switch ears...NOT FUN..I am looking forward to testing this baby out in the classroom..:)

Hi Jo,

Congratulations on your new BAHA! I just got mine on Thursday and for the most part I am loving it! I irritated the area around my post somehow putting it on a few times, so today I used bacitracin and giving it a day to feel better. I am amazed at the sound quality and just need to get better finger control of the buttons. My husband laughs at me because I made a cheat sheet for the important info, (so I don't need to carry the booklet with me. I guess I'm a slow learner, lol ;D
