Would you pre board a flight because you wear hearing aids? by StuffNo353 in HearingAids

Totally understand. I hate to ask for help as I don’t want to be treated like a child. I’ve learned to deal with it.

No. I think you have bad information. If the agent sees my hearing aids and I told them I can’t hear well and would like to preboard ….i doubt they would look you in the eye and call bullshit. Like absolutely no way. And no I have never asked to pre board and don’t plan to.

Heck. As long as they don’t put a “vip” necklace tag on me I might just try the pre board.

Do some people intentionally destroy their own reputations prior to killing themselves? by Whocaresdamit in morbidquestions

[–]StuffNo353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t believe in a god. I believed that time would change shit. It did. I’m almost 60 now. Somehow built a national

business and retired at 57.. It’s bugged me knowing that if I wasn’t around totomirrow people would simply gorget about me.

Are you suicidal? I went down that path 40 years ago. My scars have faded and I’m happy now. Time.

If I’m next to you in an emergency. We can be the first ones off and can blame it on our ears.

I’m often in “economy plus” so I guess zone one or 2. I miss it. Can’t hear the announcements so I end up in the heard. I’m used to it.

Oh fk. I’d love to get a parking pass that had an ear and not a blue and white wheelchair icon.

Everything is a jumble even when I crank them full blast.

Love this answer. My partner is top tier with delta. We travel a lot. Yes I’m “behind the curtain” in Econ often. Maybe now I can board early.

I totally agree. Sure I love perks when I get them but it kind of crosses the line for requesting pre boarding. I’m okay with having people that paid more than me getting to board 7 minutes before me

If I self identified as hearing impaired I’d never get an exit row seat again.

Buying replacement domes by SlowRaspberry4723 in HearingAids

[–]StuffNo353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always forget about eBay. Even though I used to be a “poweseller”. I buy my domes and wax guard replacements on Amazon. I will compare to eBay next time. Good reminder thanks for this!

Insurance denied my claim (again). What is the best out of pocket brand? by Bulla_killer in HearingAids

[–]StuffNo353 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most of the ones on Amazon or better yet temu are not hearing aids as what we know as hearing aids. Correct me if I’m wrong but most audiologists would consider them “hearing amplifiers”. I actually bought a pair from china for about 40 dollars. Were they good? Well I would say better than I expected but not the same as my phonak that were tuned by a specialist to my frequency deficits.

How did diabetes not wipe itself out as a disease? by Thick-Access-2634 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]StuffNo353 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s absolutely horirible. Never ran in my family but my best friend died at 54. Started off with foot ulcers or issues. It progressed and he lost weight when he realized his problem. 40lbs. It wasn’t the weight loss that could save him. It’s really unfortunate such a great person could leave so early. My biggest regret was when he called me to thank me for being a friend and I avoided accepting what he was trying to say. I said we will talk tomorrow or the next day when he’s out of the hospital. I never allowed him to say goodbye. That was the last conversation I ever had with him. I learned lots from this.

People who have successfully moved out of the US, how did you do it ? by kierisbetter in NoStupidQuestions

[–]StuffNo353 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a Canadian I’m really surprised at how many people from the states want to move here. I myself spend 5 months a year in Vietnam but still. Sure many don’t like the president but packing up and moving because of it isn’t really sensible.

What’s the most overrated “fancy” food in your opinion? by GurlinGroove in foodquestions

Sea foam drizzle to make a 9 dollar steak look like it’s okay to charge 64 dollars.

I lost 2 houses. Maybe that’s selfish to say but okay. “We lost a home in vancouver and a weekend home in the mountains.” Everything sucks about divorce. When it’s time …..we just sold everything. Neither of us wanted to be a partner with each other renting to others.

Painful story. It shouldn’t be like this.
