OMG, I must be going deaf. - The Typing Dead

Posted: May 25, 2014

For the last 7-8 days I have been having a horrible time hearing dictation. I've tried several different headsets, and nothing seems to help.

Is there any way to amplify the sound beyond 100%?

Have you checked your master volume control to be sure - all the sliders at pushed all the way up? nm

Here's a great video if you have Windows 7: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQWymm3Za0U. I also purchased a Boosteroo which I use on occasion which easily plugs into your speakers when needed.

I have found this program exceptionally helpful in improving the sound. Much better than Boosteroo. Of course, it doesn't cure the audio issues the facility has.

Someone had posted about this amplifier a few years back, and I love it. It is about $30. It plugs in via a USB port, and you plug your headset into it.

Check Google for it -- search words "Turtle Beach Audio Advantage."

OK I am probably getting totally paranoid now, but do you think they manipulate the sound and speed of the dictations? I have been typing for years now for MQ and all of the sudden, the sound is really muffled and I am having to turn the bass down, and I have had to back it up a couple of clicks on the speed. Am I just getting old and deaf (and apparently hearing more slowly)? Also anybody else besides me noticed the discrepancy between minutes of dictation and lines typed on ...

Becoming more and more inconsiderate..Mumble, half words, dictate at the speed of light..God I hope there are doctors that come to this site cause the company sure doesn't give us any help in making them act like responsible adults. I know your job is hard, but mine is to document what you say accurately, give me a fighting chance please.. ...

I have a doctor dictating "The patient is deaf and dumb". Isn't this an old school saying? It seems wrong for a doctor to be saying this but thought I'd see what others though. ...
