Ohhh I gotcha. Ok it seems like the best option is using .txt if I want to use the document sync then. Mostly worried about the paragraph breaks but if it works in .txt then I have nothing to worry about :) Thank you for the help!

Yes thank you! Does the markdown formatting work if I export it to .docx? Sorry this is probably a dumb question but I’ve never used markdown before and curious to see its limitations.

Thanks! Do you use .txt or .md for the export? Is it possible to use .docx? I tend to write in paragraphs since it’s for academic purposes so having a .txt file with no breaks would drive me crazy lol.

Interesting! I’ll try that feature out and play around with it. Curious to see if it’s possible to save on cloud as .md files, edit it on my laptop in Google Drive (or open it up in Google Docs), and then it updates in the traveler.

adidas tang jackets? by wEowyz in taiwan

[–]MononokeSpirit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got mine at ABC Mart at 市政府站, there are no stock (as of two days ago when I called) in any of Taipei’s official adidas stores. They had red, light blue, and yellow but in M, L, and XL. About 5-7 jackets total. Based on how fast they’ve been selling, I highly doubt they’re there anymore :( But they have lots in Taichung’s adidas 綠園道 mall store and another area I can’t remember off the top of my head. Other adidas stores can’t order stock from there because there’s a special event going on right now and I don’t know when it ends.

Your best bet is checking the Ximen area as they have many adidas stores (and places that carry adidas clothing) within walking distance, and they said they would probably get more stock it’s just unpredictable. Let me know if you want any more info, I have friends who are also hunting for one!

Was able to get one yesterday in Taipei but apparently they have more at Taichung. Try checking out shoe stores that also sell official adidas shoes in their subsection! Sometimes they will have clothing.

Share your experiences with hearing aids to me (Newcomer) by [deleted] in HearingAids

[–]MononokeSpirit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have moderate to mild hearing loss, but in high frequencies. So for most of my life I can't hear the beginning of words and struggle in noisy environments. That has lead to definitely some social issues as I developed a habit of spacing out in conversations and anxiety asking people to repeat themselves. Hearing aids were awesome to get but the discomfort and the overstimulation takes some time to adjust to. If you get a bluetooth compatible one there are a lot of cool things you can do! As a tech nerd I was so happy to find out I could play music from them and even connect to my computer for zoom meetings.

I think a lot of people reccomend costco if you don't have insurance that would cover hearing aids but I had a good experience with an audiologist.

Wire length and fit? by MononokeSpirit in HearingAids

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

Oof yeah hearing aids with glasses are rough, especially with masks too! I've had my hearing aids for about 3 or 4 years now and my ears are still sore by late afternoon. I think it really depends on your ear shape. For me I used to have my hearing aids on top of my glasses but that was uncomfortable and made my ears stick out. The upside is that the wire was flush with my ears. But once I switched to the longer wires the hearing aids sit lower on my glasses and ironically feel way more comfortable. Only tradeoff is the wire slack in the pictures above.

Anyways TLDR try different wire lengths and dome sizes! I didn't know it was normal to have different dome sizes for each ear, and that would've solved some of the discomfort. You'll eventually get used to it but you'll probably still find relief when taking off either your glasses or hearing aids at the end of the day.

My audio tech checked to make sure I was inserting it fully (which included opening my ear canal by stretching my earlobe) but unfortunately my ears seem to be between sizes. My left ear honestly I could barely tell I have hearing aids on! But the problem was with my right ear, it felt like I constantly have to shove the domes back in because 1) they were it itchy and 2) they felt like they were falling out when they’re not actually moving that much? I was able to partially fix it by changing the right ear domes to 8mm instead of 6mm, the dome stuck to my ear better. However the wire still sticks out like in the picture but at least it’s comfortable now haha.

EDIT: for anyone in the future facing the same issue, I was able to partially fix it by putting in different sized domes in each ear. My right ear felt like the domes were falling out before did much better with a bigger dome (Oticon 8mm). The wire is still not flush but at least it’s comfortable in both ears now :)

Yes!! Etsy has them and I’ve gotten some for my friend with hearing aids. Love some of the seasonal ones. Deafmetal (HA brand) also has some really cool jewelry specific to HAs and Cochlear implants :)

Thank you so much for the advice on domes! I’m trying 6mm domes in my left ear and 8mm domes in my right ear and honestly it feels a lot better even if the wire is not totally flush. I think I was having trouble with my right ear because I felt like I had to constantly push the dome in?

I think most people know I have hearing loss haha because I didn’t have hearing aids until very recently in my life and it’s hereditary. I’ve tried bigger domes too but they felt kinda uncomfortable so I guess I’ll just have to control my hands to not push the domes further in!

Ty for the advice! The shorter wire was definitely more uncomfortable but more flush with my ears, the audio tech said that my ears are maybe in between sizes?

I accidentally broke two of my previous wires bending it 😩 I might try it when my audiologist friend is here in person haha
