The Kindle i have is shown below in the link - its important to get the correct one the cheaper one on the market which is showing in the uk doesnt have the audio link, i dont know how many of you read this so whereever you are in the world make sure you check it out. I went to my local shop to see it first before my decision.

I also acquired a new case, again it had to be purple to match my CI ( Cochlear Implant!)
Snazzy eh?
How to link up with my CI?
Most CI wearers have a audio lead which can be linked up with there CI, with the neurelec, you have to remove the 2nd micophone that is linked up via lead. The audio link is then placed into the same place as the wire. Some neurelec wearers say they hear only in one ear - but i can hear in both when i connect so i think its a case of the brain learning to adapt to both sides.
My audio lead - Above
Audio lead hooked up to my CI ( and yes i know i dont have my purple one - its still in repair and will be back soon)- As above
I then added my audio lead to the Kindle before i turned it on - As below
You will see the audio hole here
This is with the lead inserted- As above
My next step is to switch the kindle on !- As above
Once the Kindle is turned on, the page or book from where i prior read will show or you will have to select a book to read.- As above
Once the Aa button has been pressed, a menu will show - as below
You will see the Text - to - Speech on this menu - well you need to scroll down and highlight it and press enter
You can scroll down and select accordingly press enter
And .... your set to go! Happy Kindle Reading!
A photo of me reading my kindle with my CI Audio lead attached - in my PJs sorry folks but i always read before going to bed - it helps me relax and helps settle my tinnitus!
Hope you found this helpful
Any more questions please feel free to ask

I bloody HATE kindles. They are killing the pulp and ink! You know how I LOVE my books. I am coming round though....slowly and can see the great benefits of such.
You seem to be going at great strides now.VERY exciting stuff!
Me too. I like books but can't help looking at them a lately. Just thinking how less my bookshelf could look. But I do like the feel of a book.
Also anyone who fancied doing a bit of listening exercises, I suppose could benefit too, as well as those who are learning to listen to new sounds after switch one.
Best wishes your way. You are doing good.
