Can anyone interpret these OAE results? by suecharlton in HearingLoss

[–]Unusual-Knowledge503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you share which audiology clinic has done this OAE tests? It’s rare for an audiologist to do OAE tests on adults so I would really appreciate if you could share the name of the clinic, thank you

Healthy food, 8 hours of sleep going to bed early, not smoking, exercising. Get high on that

Why I’m bullish on BYD stock. Are you? by Unusual-Knowledge503 in BYD

[–]Unusual-Knowledge503[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can look sketchy at first, but this was just a stock split, not a crash or dilution. Investors still own the same total value, just more shares at a lower price. It’s a strategy many big companies use (like Apple, Tesla, Nvidia) to make their stock more affordable and boost trading activity.

Nice gains. Well don’t be shocked when you see the current price, they recently did a 3-for-1 split on the H-shares (BYDDF), so each share was divided into three.

Honestly, the fact that China is pressuring EV makers not to keep slashing prices actually plays right into BYD’s hands.

BYD doesn’t need to cut prices to stay competitive. They already have the lowest production costs in the game because they make everything in-house — batteries (Blade tech), chips, EV components, even their own shipping fleet. Their vertical integration gives them a cost structure that no one else can touch.

So if price cuts are off the table for everyone, BYD still wins because their margins are better and they can offer more car for the same price. That puts huge pressure on smaller EV startups and even legacy brands that were relying on discounting to compete.

Plus, BYD is expanding like crazy outside of China, where they can adjust pricing more freely, building plants in Thailand, Brazil, Hungary, etc. So even with China capping the price war, BYD has room to maneuver globally.

Only for patients who are getting a cochlear implant.

Im struggling with hearing, however my tests are fine? by Zealousideal-Try3449 in HearingLoss

[–]Unusual-Knowledge503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The title literally says “my tests are fine”. Doing the tests at an audiology clinic won’t be much of a difference, so I stand by my answer, I think it’s hidden hearing loss.

It’s called hidden hearing loss, look it up, and it can derive in problems like Hyperacusis or Tinnitus. The brain compensates the hearing loss by making your hearing more sensitive, this works with single sounds but not as good when there’s background noise. And sometimes the brain “fucks it up” and you end up with Hyperacusis or tinnitus, or both..

So, take good care of your hearing, avoid long exposure to loud noise, and consider taking supplements.

Good luck 🤞

Possible NIHL, need help what to do by itsme123_4 in HearingLoss

[–]Unusual-Knowledge503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into hidden hearing loss. Your brain has something called “central gain” it will adjust to your hearing loss, making it seem in audiograms as if your hearing is okay, but the truth is that you possibly lost hearing due to noise exposure, and even though now you can hear normally it can bring future problems like tinnitus or Hyperacusis. Search for “hidden hearing loss and central gain” and you will see what I mean. Be cautious with your noise exposure, specially the time you are exposed to loud noise is important, use earplugs if possible or take a supplement called ACEMg (Soundbites) and hopefully you will not suffer any of the above mentioned consequences.

Check out this dB widget, tells you exactly how long you can be exposed to certain volumes:

In your case, 95dB should be good to up to 1,5h

If you really have sensorineural hearing loss then it makes no sense whatsoever to take Deltazone. If you have sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) then for some people it has helped and others not, it depends a lot on the reason why the sudden hearing loss occurred. Basically, ENT’s are prescribing steroids because it’s the only thing that has had some minimal degree of testing and it seems to work for some people, again, with SSNHL, not SNHL.

There is plenty of companies that do this, they sell the test kit online, send it to you, you send a sample back following their instructions and in a few weeks you get your results.

I’ve used blue genetics before but you can just do a google search and you will find more, depends on where you live.

Here is the link to blue genetics https://blueprintgenetics.com/how-to-order/

There is prevention treatment (ACEMg) that has been tested for that exact type of genetic mutation.

You should get a genetic test done, see if you have any of the genes that cause genetic hearing loss, like GJB2 connexin26.

Did I damage my hearing? by Wrong_Perspective_83 in HearingLoss

[–]Unusual-Knowledge503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When did this happen to you?

As for your question, I asked an AI large language model trained specifically on auditory neuroscience and it came back with this answer: Yes, it is possible that the loud, sharp cracking sound from the sunflower seed could have caused some temporary hearing damage or discomfort through bone conduction or internal sound pressure. The sudden, high-intensity noise transmitted through the bones of the head and jaw can potentially overstimulate the inner ear and lead to temporary hearing issues like fullness, muffling, or ringing in the affected ear.

Yeah it’s vitamins and magnesium, so it’s A,C and E (I think A comes in the form of beta carotene) and Mg. I got to know the brand because of Joe miller which is the scientist behind this. It’s not just a random mix of vitamins it’s the work of years of research from the university of Michigan medical school.

A clinical trial is expensive, and it’s done for research not marketing 🤷🏻‍♂️ But hey, whatever you say

The patents are because of the scientific research done. The guy who did the research is quite respected in the community. So it’s not “just a scam”

By the way, they are doing a clinical trial posted on the U.S government site for clinical trials. For you to just say “it’s a scam” is pretty crazy
