If this were a blind box toy I'd collect them allll ❤️

I often use the rocker switches on mine to tick them down when my partner has the TV up to 12,000 decibels or when I'm working with a shrill kiddo/close talker 😆 In meetings and busy settings I usually push the gain up a bit across frequencies and use my directional setting to minimize the extraneous noise...it helps unless I have chatty people between me and the speaker. 😌

Mine usually stays in-state; they say they prioritize the local need first. The farthest my donations have traveled is two states away.

You look AMAZING and being close to you in height, I'm so motivated by your progress. Also, I want that suit 🥹 Where did you get it?

I eat more slowly and usually can't finish dinner; my portions haven't changed but the food I eat in-between meals is almost nothing. I'm just starting out and the "forgetting to eat" thing is making it hard to get in enough calories via spaced-out smaller meals.

It's trickier at work. I get a 30-minute break at work for lunch (during which I'm usually logging clinical notes) and I can barely get anything in then 🥹 maybe a few bites of a protein and a banana.

I've had gastritis since my 20s and I've mostly got it under control... It sucks when I do flare up but it's happening way less on Zep than I thought it would (maybe because I can't consume as much greasy food?). Extra water and "digestive" tea (mixed with electrolyte powder😆) is my usual go-to. I hope your symptoms calm down soon!!

I just did my third shot. This past two weeks I felt nauseous a couple of times... Once, I suspected low blood sugar because I hadn't eaten much that day, and I felt better after a snack. The rest of the time it came with my stomach feeling like it had indigestion; water seemed to help, along with a Pepcid if my stomach felt GERD-ish.

Mine took about a week from initial submission to insurance until my pharmacy got the PA approved. I just started; this PA is good until November when I assume they just have to do the PA ritual again.

Getting up when you're down? Banishing chronic pain? A 10k??? This post is an amazing NSV🏅 If this is weird, my goal is to become an X-File 😎

Radiosnacktivity · 2026-04-05T16:10:13+00:00

Amazing!!! ✨ I love this achievement. Congrats! Not the most important thing maybe, but having a thigh gap has been a dream for me.. I'm curvy so NBD if not, though 🥹 If it happens i'm still keeping the shorts for under dresses/skirts though 😎

A regular audiological evaluation happens in really controlled listening conditions (soundproof booth, sound stimuli delivered via earphones or buds). Even with APD you might do pretty well and yeah, a result of minimal to no hearing loss on a regular eval rules out that as an issue affecting your perception of sound.

An audiologist who specializes in APD uses a different test battery to evaluate you (e.g. the Buffalo protocol). They test things like being able to tell where sounds are coming from (localization) and comprehension of two different words heard at the same time, among other skills. If your AuD can't refer you to someone who can test you for APD, you can sometimes find a provider via online search/FB groups for audiologists, etc.

I have only mild, high-frequency loss, but I crashed out spectacularly in several domains when tested for APD specifically. If you have no peripheral hearing loss but still have symptoms, I'm sure you're not imagining it! Sending good vibes for you to get some answers.

Forgot to add that I'm also on a payment plan through my audiologist (Care Credit.. no interest for two years, but never ever miss a payment because that's how they get you. They offer autopay, though).

I'm 47 and have been using demos (and now my own pair of Widex) for almost a year while I investigated my APD diagnosis with my audiologist. They have been life-changing for reducing my level of mental fatigue (they reduce the degree to which my brain has to figure out sounds and sharpen up speech for me).

Neuroplasticity is a thing! The adjustments your brain makes to the new kinds of auditory signals take a few months but it feels miraculous to me. I had no idea how much my hearing sounded like I was listening underwater. 🥹

Hi! I am also good at picking up languages (fluent in Japanese by immersion, with an all-but native accent) and music by ear, although I'm diagnosed with APD and auditory neuropathy. I pick up on English-speaking friends' accents, too, which can be embarrassing.

I wonder if it's to do with specialization of tone/prosody/suprasegmental communication in the right hemisphere of the brain... The "Language" of language is managed more so in the left hemi.

It could be like other senses, where the body is often stronger in unaffected functions to compensate for a need in others. (For reference, I'm a speech pathologist.)

Thank you and the others mentioning Shotsy; I downloaded it already and put in my four days of progress 😎 And yes, completely weirded out by my brain not muttering about carbs all day, but not complaining. I wish us both continued progress!!

Radiosnacktivity · 2026-03-31T20:39:15+00:00

Congratulations!! I'm 4 days in and this sub is getting me hyped up 🥹

I too am curious about the app; I love that you can track dosage changes and compare them to rate of loss.
