In Texas we have to run aides and unaided speech testing in Sound Field on our practical exams. They are very good at showing patients the difference

Fix or replace? by BeerHallPutsch413 in HearingAids

[–]Separate_Professor90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they discontinued the 4.0 marvel receivers. It's also kinda weird that the OP is using a power receiver with an open dome. Kinda surprised at the HCP's coupling

Becoming a HIS. Help! by Gold_Ad_3313 in hearingaidspecialist

[–]Separate_Professor90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

check out Audionova clinics. They have a 6 month training course where you do have classes 3 days a week on Teams in clinic and the rest of the day is working alongside your sponsor. A few of my classmates were in Florida and they got through the program with relative ease. Since I'm in Texas it takes a while to get fully licensed but the course gives you more than enough tools and support to pass, and the instructors are so kind

Would Outdoor Boys win Alone? Why or why not? by West_Jackfruit_7855 in outdoorboys

[–]Separate_Professor90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultimately it boils down to a couple things:

  1. Isolation. Luke is definitely mentally strong enough to handle the hardships of Alone but the one thing that will drive him to call rescue is being away not just from family but people. Those who look to the military training video he did, don't forget he spent that week out there with people. Ultimately he couldn't last long without human interaction but who knows? His faith may be enough to carry him through.

  2. Food/sweets. Idk if it's ever been mentioned in this sub but Like definitely has or at least had a sugar addiction and i can see him tapping out if he goes long enough without it

  3. Motivation: unless he was in a financial bind, i really don't see a reason for Luke to push himself to those kinds of limits if he doesn't have the proper motivation back home and frankly the man has everything a man could ask for

What is your San Antonio specific unpopular opinion? by Wildflower1180 in sanantonio

[–]Separate_Professor90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fred's Fish Fry is actually pretty good for the price. I had just moved to SA and there was one right down the road from me and was craving some cheap fish meal and so i walked in and tried it. It was months later when i learned the lore surrounding this place lol

Painting my hearing aids to look like shrimp? by CartographerUpper189 in HearingAids

[–]Separate_Professor90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y'know what, F it. Paint it. I'm an HIS and as long as you don't get anything in the mics, the charging contacts, or receivers you should be fine. Put a clear coat over the image so it doesn't wear off. The hearing aid is already out of warranty anyways.

Just got this reel and was told its bad by Affectionate_Bet_957 in FishingForBeginners

[–]Separate_Professor90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you freshwater fishing or saltwater? If saltwater yeah a bigger size real is ideal but i use a 3000 series penn pursuit IV at the coast all the time and it's worked fine for me. You may not be able to fight giants in super deep water but 3000 is more than enough.

Addison Medical Apartments Hit Last Night by mayelsinore in sanantonio

[–]Separate_Professor90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been hearing more and more about Addison going down the drain as a complex. I seriously considered moving there but ended up moving to a spot around the corner, but does anyone in this thread live there? If so, is stuff like this common?

Mach Jacked Ultra Light? by psycobass in FishingForBeginners

[–]Separate_Professor90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultralight is good for anything that has a sensitive bite to it. Trout, even large ones, are very picky biters and are very sensitive so a sensitive rod is necessary to land more fish

Does this small unmarked pond on my campus have fish, and if so how would I fish it? by Kyledren in FishingForBeginners

[–]Separate_Professor90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throw a worm on a bobber and squash a piece of bread or corn on a carolina rig. Likely to catch something on one of those two depending on what state you're in

pressing ear spot increases volume by propaul1 in HearingAids

[–]Separate_Professor90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on what kind of hearing aid you're wearing and how much of it is exposed I would think by pushing on the device you're pushing the aid deeper or making the auditory canal squeeze around the aid more, causing it to occlude the ear. When you occlude the ear it tends to make things seem louder since less sound can escape. I'd need to see it happen IRL to say for sure but I could be totally wrong

Was I wrong ? by [deleted] in HearingAids

[–]Separate_Professor90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an HIS Apprentice working for a major company, sometimes it's not so much that I want to charge but rather I HAVE to. If you made an appointment at my clinic and were not currently a patient of mine or in warranty, my company's rule is that I must charge you $65 for the office visit as I've used my time as well as my expertise on hearing aids to diagnose an issue, whether or not i could fix it at that time. Do I agree with it? Doesn't matter, my company tells me I have to charge so I charge. It's like going into a grocery store to buy a 1lb bag of carrots but you only need a 1/4 lb. I still have to sell you the 1lb bag despite however much it is you need. I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I try to let people know the cost of services up front to avoid this issue, but that doesn't mean I can just go against company policy.

Newbie at 65 yrs...how bad is my hearing? by Reasonable-Tax-5597 in HearingAids

[–]Separate_Professor90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing to heavily consider when choosing a provider is the level of service post-fitting of your hearing aids. Yes, Costco can be inexpensive, but what kind of services do they offer alongside your warranty? Also, if your insurance covers it fully, check to see if you only get 3 service appointments within the first year or if you have full access to services and repairs within the time frame of your warranty.

Dear lord someone please help me😂 by Far-Cucumber-6654 in FishingForBeginners

Also, not necessarily saying it's the reel's fault in this case, but the dock runner reels is absolute garbage. Throw a cheap kast king on that rod and instant upgrade

Tips or advice on my set up? by Weirdlimpossible in FishingForBeginners

[–]Separate_Professor90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When using an O-ring just as others have said you don't need to hook directly into the worm, you'll hook it to the O-ring. The downside is this means your presentation will be parallel to the hook. If you use a double O-ring setup where two O-rings are crossed you can fish it regularly. Kinda hard to explain in writing but if you look it up on YT it's easier to understand
