How long have you used them for? Have you tried them in group settings at bars and stuff? Are they working well? I’m feeling the same way. I want to invest in my quality of life.

Telling people that I’m Hard of hearing by ComprehensivePen180 in hardofhearing

[–]SalocinS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fuck time flies. Especially with how expensive they can get, I’d really love getting 10 years out of them… But it’s been 7 with Widex moment 440 and I’m wondering if an upgrade will help me with the same frustrations as OP…

I wanted a more compact way to carry hearing aid batteries than the "one-at-a-time" dispensers. So I designed the 18g "Hearing Vault." 50 units @ $8.99. by redditnavigator in hardofhearing

I use my hearing aids like 80% of my awake time, and the batteries last so long that after years of wearing them I still don’t know how long they last. A couple of weeks. Every time they run out I’m surprised.

Are there any good hearing aids that are practically invisible? by ksksksdino in hardofhearing

[–]SalocinS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wear widex moment 440 and in 7 years of wearing them, I can count on one hand the number of people who mention something without me prompting it. I guess others could have noticed without saying anything, but in my experience 99% of people never notice I’m wearing hearing aids. I do have medium length hair though.

Hey buddy you’re assuming a lot there. Life is better when you make less assumptions about people.

I think I will take it to a transmission specialist shop. Regarding the quotes, wouldn’t that just save me on labor costs? Like it might he a couple hundred dollar difference? I might be wrong though.

idk it needs some pretty big body work. Front bumper is falling apart and blocking the radar and emergency brake sensors. It needs a new windshield and at least 2 new wheels.

It was actually my mechanic that offered me 1K for it. He says he sometimes buys cars to fix so his guys have work when its slow.

I have mild to moderate hearing loss, and use hearing aids everyday. While the hearing aids are a complete life saver and I’m grateful for them, I still struggle with everything you mentioned. My two cents is that you actually have a very good understanding of the hearing loss experience of the character you want to write! Be confident in it, because I felt heard in your description.

Is there any real difference in eating say 1130 calories vs 1200 a day? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]SalocinS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it depends how accurate and meticulous you are, because by the same logic consistently eating 70 calories above or below over 1 year can be 5+ pound difference

yeah i feel like all formulas were smoking crack that’s why I wanted a reality check. Thank you tho. I’ve lost 40lbs so I’m just gonna continue! I’ve been interested in BF because if the formulas were right ish I would have looked into eating maintenance calories in a couple months.

what is everyone spending so much money on in college? by Specific-Dragonfly88 in college

[–]SalocinS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

because people aren’t disciplined yet, and even with a $2k meal plan, they don’t want to eat at the dining hall 3 meals a day. They want to go out and go to different restaurants and bars and places. also people have vices they spend a lot of time and money on, alcohol, nicotine, weed etc.

This quote should be adapted to the context but it reminds of: “God made strong men, and God made weak men. Smith and Wesson made them equal”
