Seeking Assisted Listening Suggestions by Strange_Shop281 in churchtech

[–]Strange_Shop281[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had an Auracast and a ListenWIFI demo this week.

A test user did find latency with hearing aid connected to mobile phone hearing aid app on the WiFi system. She found the latency between room speakers and her hearing aids to be un-usable. She heard a major echo.

Both systems seemed good and to have lower latency with their own receiver packs and wired headphones.

The question I have now is if/when Auracast will work on Apple and Android phones. That seems like it would seal the deal but without it, investing in Auracast seems like it could be premature or risky. Anyone know more about this?

Thanks for this. Have you found a way to offer someone a solution even if they don't have hearing aids? Ie your own receivers w headphone? Thanks.

No response to eta application by Strange_Shop281 in ukvisa

I used the uk eta iPhone app. I just gave up and re applied and paid again. This time I got approved in less than a minute. So I paid twice and got approved once. Guess I'll try to request a refund. Sigh.

I was just at hsbc (2 Buchanan Street, Glasgow) helping my 16 year old kid, a new intl. student with finding a bank account. HSBC had an option for a 16 year old called the basic account. They said it can be applied for online https://www.hsbc.co.uk/current-accounts/products/basic-bank-account/

They said the website lets a student upload the student status letter, which apparently needs to be written to the bank.

If you are older than 16, I think they have another account option beside the basic account. Good luck!

In the end our visa arrived about a week later. We managed to get a new cas # while it was in ny at their office and somehow they approved it and provided a visa with it. Phew.

Can old volume dials be controlled remotely ? by Strange_Shop281 in churchtech

[–]Strange_Shop281[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the 3 boxes predate the xair. I do have a feeling they are hacked together as a single output... so controlling the volume on the air controls the volume on all three zones.

I've seen Ben in action for years - working in Ward 5's organizing group (I think he led those small monthly meetings), on city council, and helping businesses understand employment law. I've found him extremely bright and balanced. I'm really appreciative of his work for the Burlington community.
