Bman780 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hi I am looking for a new sat nav . My problem is I have a tomtom xl but I cannot hear it. Partly because it is not loud enough and speech quality is poor. I need someway to either link to my existing hi fi or add external speakers. Any ideas out there (lol) bman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindiboy Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Are you hard of hearing,I ask because I cannot understand why you can,t hear Tom Tom,mine has adjustable volume control and even at 60% volume I hear it very well, have you tried changing the voice,I have Jane. She is wonderfull very precise in her commands and she never gets cross if I do not follow her instructions she merely redirects me with no kerfuffle.whoops I have just noticed the post title,you are hard of hearing,maybe an hearing aid is in order if you do not already wear one.

Guest pelmetman Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I have hearing problems............and although I qualify for a hearing aid..............the quack was not convinced it would help as the frequency that I'm deaf on is the female frequency :D............... Yet I still manage to hear madam TomTom when turned up :-S..................er in doors only needs to give me a look..............for me to get the message 8-)................. Which I'll get tomorrow when she reads this :D................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallii Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Ask here http://www.actiononhearingloss.org.uk/default.aspx They have all sorts of clever gadgets, maybe a pair of small Bluetooth headphones or even a couple of the newer aids that have Bluetooth built in would help. I am ok with the sat nav it's everything else I have problems with! H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takeaflight Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 After a lot of nagging from the wife I got an appointment at the local hospital via our doc for a hearing test. Took about half hour and about 6 weeks later another appointment, to receive the two digital aids, I have to say it's made a tremendous difference. For one thing I don't have the telly so loud that my wife couldn't stand it. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vindiboy Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I too have hearing aids, they are brilliant, I got them within a Month of my original Hospital appointment, after a few months of wearing them my ears were becoming sore so I called the Hospital who told me to stop wearing the aids and when my ears were no longer sore to contact them again, a week later I did this and the next day had an appointment to see the Audiologist and was given smaller ear pieces that are almost invisible made of very soft material and are on very fine tubes and they work very well and are very comfortable, all for free on our superb National Health Service.
