Hearing Aid Hacking
I have heard of OSX hacking, Windows hacking, Linux hacking and Photoshop hacking.
Hacking, in the good sense of making changes to make the device or software work faster and better.
But hearing aid hacking?!
Yup, there is such a thing. Here it is, for HA users, by HA users - tips, tricks and magic potions to optimise the use of your HAs.
All sorts of wonderous stuff awaits! Use bluetooth with your HA. Use DAI for direct audio input from teevees and MP3 players. Rechargers for HAs. And more. Wow!
This is really, extremely, absolutely cool, dude! You know, I once asked Giraffe if we can make an induction loop ourselves that plugs into any mobile with headset input. Make it like less than $10 if possible. What do you think? Should we come together and make this a reality?

Sure, if we have the technical expertise and tools. :)
That site should help us too!

Thanks, I will definitely chip in on the HA Hacks forum if I have something to share. Though for now, I am a newbie at such. Cheers!
