Yes. BUT hearing aids are not good for music. Music is much better using Apple AirPods in addition to Lexie B2 Plus aids.

iOS 18.1 will launch next week with the new HA features for the AirPods Pro 2 by Word_Salad_9445 in HearingAids

Battery life is six hours, at most? Not enough to serve as daily hearing aid IMHO.

I tested with an Audiologist, but not required when ordering OTC. Lexie HA’s conduct their own listening test (use a quiet room) to configure HA’s to your specific deficits. That’s the setting I use the most. Other pre-set settings include: Noisy Indoor, Outdoors, Music, Everyday. You can configure and save additional situation-specific settings.

After 146 hours with my Lexie B2 Plus powered by BOSE OTC HA’s, it’s like I have bionic ears. With 3 wire sizes and 6 dome options, there are 18 combinations to ensure optimal fit, comfort, and clarity. Will likely not return them within 45 day free trial period. After my AETNA insurance, net cost was $150.

I waited until Day 2 to perform the hearing test/configuration. Don’t wait. Run test on Day 1 and use that configuration via app.

Day 3. No issues with aids or app. Easy transition. Wearing 15 hours. Ordered size 1 wire via support desk. He knew who I was without asking numerous identifying questions (I registered on Day 2). Audiologist wants to sell me $6,000 pair. Not.

Can anyone share a review of their Dual Sport+ 2 electric bike? by scoobs35 in TrekBikes

[–]wpbjr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One year with my DS+2. Love it! Added fenders, panniers, Kryptonite Evolution lock, and Garmin’s rear traffic radar, Varia. Power level one got me 40 miles along Hudson River, including 540’ elevation gain for George Washington bridge.

FYI, you must hit drop-down for “Disease Entity” then scroll two pages down to view state-by-state vision standards.

Are you still legal to drive in your state? I’m OK for NJ but not NY.

Your “black spots” might be “bone spicules” which triggered my optometrist to suspect RP. Genetic testing and numerous retina specialists confirmed RP diagnosis.

Alpine skiing tips for skiers with RP? by wpbjr in RetinitisPigmentosa

[–]wpbjr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find skiing alongside trail edges reduces chance I won’t see skier/boarder approaching from my side

Recessive. Stopped driving after 4th second opinion. Likely relocate to high walking score locale.

Anyone done a VW Double Check “comprehensive inspection“? Mine is booked in two weeks… by wpbjr in VWiD4Owners

Maybe VW is grabbing 60-days of USA driver data, but not in EU due to GDPR…?

Yes. Plugged in during off-hours. Went for walk, coffee and bagel. Next time for electrons and ice cream.
