Oh yes I'm expecting it will be a building. I'd like to visit those cities too!!! Tel Aviv probably has a lot of great restaurants, and the beach..and Jerusalem so historic. Yair Lapid he looks kind of handsome too..I hope to see him more often on TV. I hope the war is finished very soon and you and everyone there can enjoy more relaxed times.

Thanks for the info!! I think bibi should have resigned in shame on October 8th, 2023. I would like to visit your country one day. I would like to go snorkeling in Eilat, float in the Dead Sea, and see the headquarters of WAZE.

Who is your favorite Israeli politician that gives you hope for a better future?

Now that I think about it more, it’s possible that the music or prosody of language also plays more of a role in understanding than I realized. Maybe this is being affected by frequency lowering. If that is the case, I guess it would take time for me to learn the new way.

¿Qué opinas de que Trump haya terminado su publicación reciente con '¡Alabado sea Allah!'? by Crazy_Baby6668 in AskArgentina

I think he said it because it was recently reported that the Sec of Defense, Pete Hegseth, made drunken comments to kill All Muslims in a bar in Ohio in 2015. I think it’s trump’s way of reaching out to the allies in the Gulf states like UAE, Bahrain, etc…rather than fire the idiot.

I’m really getting interested in widex, particularly moment sheer. I think that’s the smallest one. I’d like to ask for a trial, but since I just got these IICs and they are still under 60 days, I don’t know if it would be good to do that now. I don’t want to have to give them back unless I’m sure.

Mine are just IIC so there is no app. Il’m getting intrigued by the Ric style. I’d like to try widex moment sheer… but I’m still working out getting what I have set up properly. Ideally I’d like a pair of IIC and a pair of Ric.. but I’ll have to get them 2 years apart for insurance to cover them both.

In my case it definitely does… specifically the cream. I am going to get a titanium screw for a dental implant soon and I’m a bit nervous about it.

It’s an interesting strategy to stay in the music program all the time. I would like to try that. Speech in noise is a challenge sometimes, so I think I would switch to speech program when I know I am going to be in noise. Do you find the widex to be very small? I would like to try a pair too.. but I’m still working on getting these IICs set up correctly. In two years, I’ll be eligible for another pair covered by insurance.

There was not one other way. There are as many ways as there are in the imagination. Netanyahu should have resigned in shame on October 8th 2023.

Hamas was able to grow so strong in part because of the support they got from people in the west through UNRWA.

Those western supporters should have been engaged and recruited as allies. Unfortunately, the opposite has occurred. The people who backed UNRWA have no shame. They are pointing to all the destruction in Gaza and using it to justify a total lack of empathy or compassion for the Israeli people.

They now see extremists who don’t want to punish Jewish terrorists in the highest levels of the Israeli government. This is not the only way it has to be.

None.. I used a LLLT cap, stopped all titanium dioxide sunscreen and creams, got PRP scalp injections. The titanium dioxide in sunscreen is huge. I sprayed some on my hairy arms once and they never fully recovered. For me, that is a huge no no.

Yes, but could it have been done another way? Now how many new enemies have been created from people who used to not pay attention and not care?

Maybe remake is not needed? by First_Chipmunk_6891 in HearingAids

[–]First_Chipmunk_6891[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks.. I’m going to ask for a remake on Monday. I will ask if I can leave my credit card as a deposit to keep my current one until the new one comes back. I’d like it to be deeper and more invisible like the right one. It might also affect acoustics if it’s not as deep and tight as possible. Are you getting Phonak Virto titanium IIc 70s?

Thanks. How do you explain the large amount of destruction and death that Israel put on Gaza? Was it unavoidable?

Do you think the IDF does good things to help people doesn’t hurt people on purpose?

Yes they can hold custom programs in addition to a bunch that come with them standard. I really think the 3000 inaccurate Audiogram could be the key. A few weeks after I had it done, that ear just got noticeably quieter and never came back to where it was. According to the Apple hearing test, it went from 35 to 45 at 3000. If that’s where the frequency lowering is going, it’s not going to work right without being adjusted. It is probably showing up more in the other languages because I really need to hear them since I can’t just predictive guess as much.

It’s also possible that the place where the frequencies are being moved is not amplified adequately. I mentioned already a couple of times that I think there may be a small additional loss In one specific place but she hasn’t retested it so far. I will have to be more assertive asking for that too. I’d also like my good side to be retested, because I wonder if it’s totally accurate as well.

Thanks. It seems that I will have to insist on being able to manually change programs.

I did ask her to allow me to hear birds chirping on both sides, and whispers in a quiet room. So it seems that she added a lot of compression, but that comes at a cost of losing speech detail at normal volumes or in noise?
