It’s
called a Multi Mic (pronounced Mike).
It’s
a microphone on a lanyard. The Multi Mic is made by the same company that
makes Judy’s hearing aids, and it broadcasts a Bluetooth signal right into her
head (if she’s wearing the hearing aids). Until now, she could hear
conversations but couldn’t always pick out the words. Through the Multi
Mic, she gets the clarity she needs to turn sounds back into words and be able
to follow the conversation.
If
it’s just Judy and me, I wear it around my neck. If she’s talking with
someone else, she can take it with her and hear the other person even if
they’re not wearing it. It’s totally awesome and a game changer.
And,
bonus, while I was wearing the Multi Mic, we even inadvertently recreated a
scene from Naked Gun from all those years ago.

Fortunately,
we only recreated that scene in Judy’s head through her hearing aids, and not
for the entire waiting room at the doctor’s office.
