Although I am still living in "Chipmunk Land", things are getting better with my new Maps. I was actually able to watch two TV shows without CC. Not that I had a choice, as for some reason my DirecTV is having trouble with CC on Fox. I will admit I didn't catch every single word, but I was able to catch most of them on both Bones and Hell's Kitchen. After my last mapping, I had to have the sensitivity set to 1 and the volume set to 1. Sounds were just too much and some even made me feel a vibration in my ear. I have since moved up to sensitivity 2 and volume 5, gradually, and things don't vibrate my ear any longer.
Just booked three airline tickets today for my family reunion/parents 65th anniversary in June. Also booked a room, and now I am totally broke. :( But, it is well worth it to see all my family at one time.

Hi I am hearing impaired as well, and am SICK to DEATH of the cc on the FOX network, all of my fave shows are just useless to me! I found a post you put up about writing to the networks, i have done the same with no response. This is something that should be taken care of!!! Have you gotten any help in this matter. I have a lot of "deafies" that may be able to help us, I want to fight this but don't know where to start! Let me know if this is something you would like to pursue. My email is kamij9@yahoo.com if you would like to contact me. I thank you for your time in this matter. Aloha!
