Tonight Brandt took off his iCom for the night and put it on his dresser; when I walked by it, I noticed the neck loop was bent almost at a right angle. I picked it up and yelled, “When did your new iCom break?!” He had no idea it was broken, so we’re not sure how it happened or how long it’s been like that. It’s broken in the same spot they have all broken, where the loop and the part that connects it to the iCom itself meet. The loop is no longer attached, so the wires are exposed.
Brandt just got this new iCom a month ago—almost a month to the day. It is a new model, with medical-grade silicone replacing the old plastic neck loop that kept hardening up. We assumed that with the new, silicone loop, this wouldn’t happen anymore. Apparently we were wrong. I think this is the 8th iCom that has broken, although I lost count a while ago, so it could be more.
And while I’m complaining, even though this new iCom worked perfectly at the audiologist’s office, as soon as we got home it refused to play music or podcasts without skipping and stuttering, and every time Brandt connects it to his iPhone, it plays Frank Sinatra
. Seriously. Sinatra.
. Seriously. Sinatra.Alright, enough complaining about Brandt’s ever-failing hearing technologies—I have to get my suitcases packed! I don’t know how good my internet connection will be at the ’Con, after my awful experience in Philadelphia, but I’ll try to update if I can. It might only be a Facebook update, so be sure to join the group!
