Interview+1

Interview 1 · So far the BTE hearing aid cannot be connected to a laptop. The interviewee thinks that " it would be better to connect the BTE to laptops" using a USB. · Changing all output audio data from inaudible to audible ones, depending on different cases. · She mentioned how the volume is not loud enough. "Even if it is on it's maximum volume, it is still not that loud enough." She is forced to " connect her speakers" to hear the output audio data loudly. · " Amplification of voices " in addition to " reducing background noise" will also increase the clarity of the output sounds. · She also suggested adding subtitles, however, this cannot help those who are visually impaired. · She can't hear sounds of high frequency. For example, the alert sound of MSN. The flashing of the screen is the only thing that draws her attention. · So, having flash is helpful, however, when we introduced our idea of having vibration in addition to flash, she said " vibration would be more than enough”.
