[QUOTE="gennepher, post: 2150625, member: 238814"] Fbg....7.6 So failed this morning compared to other mornings this week. Sigh. But I do have a major problem, hence me not being able to sleep. The latest IOS update has has rendered my iPhone approaching useless in regards to compatibility to my Cochlear Speech Processor. Amongst other problems it has caused with my Speech Processor (it attaches to my head via a magnet and all sound is delivered straight to my neural pathways directly inside my head), Apple in their infinite wisdom decided that Cochlear deaf people would absolutely love having all alerts, trills, chirps, and incoming phone call ringing to be directly inside the neural pathways of their head and at an increased intolerable sound level. The sound level I would imagine a hearing person would suffer being right besides Big Ben as it was chiming 12 o’clock. It turns out that there is no option to turn this facility off. I get a lot of spam phone calls and before the update I didn’t hear them because I cannot hear a phone ringing. Put it this way, a hammer was an option yesterday... Going on the Apple forum, I find many absolutely demented Cochlear Implant people... Actually I am not kidding on the hammer option. I have been struggling all week with the fall out this latest IOS update has caused my total dependence on technology. I was all day going through every setting to try and shut the **** thing off. Yes I turned Bluetooth off, it is not meant to connect anything to my Cochlear Sound Processor if Bluetooth is off. But it is bypassing Bluetooth even if it is off and sending a pile of unwanted unwarranted loads sounds directly into my head. I was trying Apple Forum suggestions. And notifications are turned off too, bit something is bypassing and adding to that too. Hence I was so wound up sleep was not an option. I won’t bore you with every hearing problem this IOS update caused me, otherwise this post will be all day in the writing. This is one Cochlear problem I never foresaw. And if I had, then I would never have got this Cochlear Implant done. Cochlear themselves say on their webpage that this is an Apple problem, so get in touch with Apple and not Cochlear. What a cop out. They make a big thing on their promotional site about their collaboration with Apple. Sorry, this is developing into a full blown rant. I had better stop now. [/QUOTE]
