At Your Service!

I got a new pair of hearing aids a few days ago, and I'm very pleased with them. The technology has improved significantly since I bought the last pair (7 years ago), and they cost $400 less!

The remote control, which I wear like a pendant, has Bluetooth capability. I can stream music from my phone, iPad, and iMac directly to my ears. My favorite feature is the ability to summon Siri with one press of the button with the phone symbol, giving me full access to Siri's wonderful capabilities. For example, I can tell her to phone anyone in my address book by name. The phone remains in my pocket the whole time -- there's a microphone in the remote.

Incidentally, here's a touching story about how Siri has helped an autistic young boy.
