"Bose Soundlink Color"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
My sister and I bought a SoundLink Color for my almost 91 year old, hard of hearing father for Christmas. The goal was to hook it up to his TV to improve the sound quality. It FAR surpassed our expectations! The sound is much richer and he is able to hear the TV at MUCH lower levels. At first, he had it on a music channel and then switched it to a channel with dialogue. His face came alive. He started quoting back the dialogue that he just heard. It was nothing short of remarkable. I know it has only been one day, but I swear his mood is better. He also has a tendency to fall asleep in front of the TV but he stayed awake until after 11:00 PM last night, and I think it was because he could hear what was happening on his programs. I think that many older people seem senile because what they THINK they are hearing and responding to is completely different from what is transmitted. That said, have you folks ever considered getting into the hearing aid business? Dad has hearing aids but hates them. He said that they sound tinny and if he turns them up, they screech. Since he now hears his TV at a lower level, I was wondering if you could incorporate your technology into hearing aids. With the aging population in the U.S., you would have a ripe market for quality sound in hearing aids. Finally, I just want to thank you for making the SoundLink. Although it was Dad's present, it was a gift to me in that I can now go into other rooms in his house and not hear his TV blaring.
