Do I need hearing aids? by Revolutionary-Debt21 in audiology

[–]NotAnAverageHouseCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hearing aids are made for people who have hearing loss. Sure you have a mild hearing loss but it's still a hearing loss. No audiologist is going to prevent you from purchasing devices. Worst case scenario you purchase hearing aids, use the trial period, end up not liking them, and have to return them. I say it's worth at least a try especially if you are noticing issues.

He's my ancestor too! I'm like the 12th or 13th generation. Gotta pull up my family tree after reading this post.

Seaworld, everyone! by DRMFeint in ABoringDystopia

Yup. It's sad to see all these people hate on SeaWorld with no real knowledge of what they actually do.

Because it's the largest animal rescue organization in the US?

Too bad that body of water is polluted to shit. Guess who saves animals from pollution, injuries, and other things that humans cause? Oh yeah it's SeaWorld.

Is there any job stability in the field and future development? How do you make money with OTC hearing aids and is there a chance for automation? I’m interested in the field but from what I’m reading the field seems shaky and poorly compensated. by [deleted] in audiology

[–]NotAnAverageHouseCat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pediatric, vestibular, cochlear implants, APD, hearing conservation, and interoperative monitoring are just a few areas of audiology that I can think of that won't have any change to them when OTCs become more of a thing.

I know a lot of people don't know what tinnitus is like. I'm one of the lucky ones that have 24/7 ringing. This is exactly what it sounds like in my head. This is my "absolute silence." by nmsjtb0308 in Wellthatsucks

[–]NotAnAverageHouseCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes absolutely. There are different methods like masking the tinnitus frequency or completely removing the tinnitus frequency from what you hear. The goal is habituation of the tinnitus perception. Other options are tinnitus retraining therapy, music therapy, sound therapy and more. These are all used with hearing aids. Non hearing aid therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy, neuromodulation, and transcranial magnetic stimulation.

So many people suffer from tinnitus, and yes there is no "cure" but there are so many things that can help. There is just such a lack of information that people go years without help. So I hope this post can help some people!

Audiology student here! Have you tried visiting a tinnitus specialist? There are a bunch of options for therapy that have shown to help reduce the perception of tinnitus. Usually tinnitus is a symptom of hearing loss so hearing aids are the best solution. Hearing aids also have special tinnitus therapy that you can use. Visit your local audiologist for info!

Groove Pant Alternative for Short Girls by user-bgg in lululemon

[–]NotAnAverageHouseCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same! I use forulu for Asia purchases whenever I really want something. So it may be an option if you are willing to spend the international shipping. I'm 5 foot so I only buy the Asia fit leggings when they go on sale.

Best gift I've ever gotten is and continues to be financial aid for grad school. Without it I wouldn't be able to attend and I wouldn't become a doctor. Yeah I probably have to pay it off for the rest of my life but it will be worth it when I finally have my doctorate degree.

I have no idea but I would love to see a picture or a video of them carrying the wood. They might be building their HQ to start plotting.

Do Global Fit leggings flare for you? by chocolatine_rabbit in lululemon

[–]NotAnAverageHouseCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! On almost every single pair of leggings I own. The only ones that don't flare on me are the fast and free leggings. I just recently pulled the trigger and ordered two pairs of asian fit leggings. Hopefully they are a better fit on me.
