To your reader who had eczema. I had the same problem. I used a medicated shampoo from the chemist, and it has cleared up. I bought the one that can be used daily. The chemist said that you need the doctor to prescribe a stronger shampoo if this did not work.
Hope this helps

I have had the second set of oticon hearing aids 2 years now and they have been replaced under warrenty once the streamer died a month out of warrenty and everytime I have a problem with it the cell phone people say its the streamer the streamer people say its the cell phone and I a 65 yr old crumedgen are left to screw with it my self. the latest after using the streamer on my cell phone for over a year it stopped conecting to the phone and the verizen idiot tells me that this phone is not compatable to the streamer and won’t work I said it worked up to now he shrugged his head and rolled his eyes not taking into consideration I am a viet-nam vet and have a concelled weapons permit. when it works it works well when it dosen’t it stinks the hearing aid people try hard but they have trouble getting hold of anybody from Oticon as well

I will be getting a Widex Super 440 SP soon, after I take back the Phonak Naida V SP which was a total flop for me (I hate that hearing aid with every fiber of my being)… So hopefully the Widex Super 440 SP will meet my needs better.

I simply feel that Oticon is a very poor product and the streamer makes it a little worse. Oticon will not respond to any request and could cae less. I believe the reason for this attitude is that they fully realize their product does not do what they claim.
I am starting to think that those people who claim and really believe their hearing aids are super, probably do not even really need these aids in the first place and that they simply enhance one’s hearing. Those with serious hearing problems are probably going to continue to be less than satisfied. I have read about all the advances in hearing aid technology, but, I sincerely feel it is nothing buy hype. While balky and a little ugly, the hearing amplification in the hearing aid my grandmother wore sixty years ago is probably not significantly different from their hi-tech replacements.

[...] Karen McGrane ging hier ook al op in: The problems we have with mobile and the problems we have with content management systems are the same problem. It’s been clear to me for a while that we need to provide better interfaces and workflows to content creators — if we want to publish great content, we’ve got to give people the tools to do it.

“Well, in this case, I wrote the blog post I wanted to write”

Yes. Exactly. Thank you for making my point.

“If you wish to engage in DTDT debates (I do not) I encourage you to visit any of the UX focused mailing lists on the internet.”

Small design suggestion: Turn off comments. They seem to be getting in the way of the “experience.”

Yeah. They are of the same opininion — uniformly and consistently — as you. I am not looking for a debate about why every last UX person refuses to use specifics, refuses to define a methodology, and refuses to specify a technique different from usability. So far, to a one.

However, unlike some, I shall continue my test. Unlike many, my goal is the experience of being pleasantly surprised.
