GpaK has a hearing problem. Confirmed but labeled "a slight hearing loss" by a professional who does not have to watch television w/ GpaK. Today GpaK and I, out and about on our Saturday shopping and errands (after the awesome shower . . . see August 30 post for the details on that :) stopped at Best Buy. We had to bring in GpaK's computer because it's been acting up. (Side story: after several attempts by Joe to fix the computer, we conceded last week that it needed to be taken in for repairs. "Where?" GpaK asked. "Best Buy does a good job" I replied. "Well alright but how the hell am I going to get THERE?" GpaK sincerely asked. "You could take a cab?" I offered. "Oh alright alright. forget it." I got the silent treatment for a good 30 minutes after that (score!)
Anywho, one of the bains of my existence is the volume at which GpaK watches television. This morning I wanted to read a little upstairs in my bedroom. GpaK started watching television and I could hear every word of his program. Upstairs.
So, at Best Buy I suggested that we look at the wireless headsets for use with televisions. If these things work as well as I think they will, it will be the best $120 GpaK has ever spent :) Stay tuned.
Downside: the transmitter/charger is ugly and has to be connected at the cable box. Not attractive. If they work it will be sooooo worth it.
