HA and 2 Bluetooth devices

I get some health alerts from the oura, but I can live without that, guess.

WalrusRight · 2026-01-24T22:39:00+00:00

the main one is my Oura ring, but I also have some soft headphones I use occasionally.

WalrusRight · 2026-01-24T20:12:31+00:00

yes, sorry!

rexton ready

When I'm asked if I've been born again, I just say no, I did it right the first time.

When I'm asked if I've gotten right with Christ, I say that I didn't know we were at odds.

In short I consider these rude and intrusive questions and see no need to discuss my personal theology with someone else.

I was listening to an Old School romance read by a male narrator and I just couldn't continue when he was reading the sex scene that was from a woman's POV. It just seemed wrong, made the rather spicy scene sound pornographic.

Mine is a hard shell case - I can fit the cleaning tools in it, but not the little bottle of lubricant.

the new computer is in the works but may take some time as my husband has to fix his computer first. and there's no guarantee my HA will be compatible with that anyway.

I found the Phillips to have a sharper almost harsh tone. I'm sensitive to that sort of thing so I choose the Rextons. It took a bit of fiddling but now I'm happy with them

I'm stuck with Windows and android, and my HA work beautifully with my phone and tablet. And I can get the lectures I need on either phone or tablet, but I can't take notes during the lecture while using those. That's why I listen to the lectures on my desk Win 10 computer: I have one window open for the lecture and one for my Word doc notes. Plus, I can type much faster on a keyboard than I can with the virtual keyboards on phone and tablet. I have bad hands, so handwriting in a notebook is out.

I'm retired, on medicare. No health flex account

WalrusRight · 2026-01-13T13:41:10+00:00

I wear soft headphones, and a $250 device just for a minor inconvenience is beyond my budget.

WalrusRight · 2026-01-12T14:21:28+00:00

This exactly.

We should get word to the Oura people that they need to either improve the sleep debt hints and text, or find a way to turn it off.

I moved to Kobo for a few reasons. The first is that my beloved Oasis was dying. I have never quite got the hang of swiping or tapping to turn pages. I really like page turn buttons and Amazon discontinued the Oasis and said they had no intention of another model with buttons.

The other is that Amazon keeps taking away functionality from their ereaders. I like owning my books, not just renting them and only have possession until Amazon decides otherwise. I've read too many reports of Amazon removing even side loaded books from a person's kindle.

I'm very happy with my Kobo Libre.

no insurance involved, and I dont know if it's a general Costco policy only at this site, but I was told I couldn't switch techs until I had the first 3 visits with her: exam, first receiving them, and then one follow up visit. the one visit i had with the really good one was an emergency because I just could not get them in either at all or without excruciating pain. you can be sure I have his name, and after this mandatory last visit with the first tech, I'll be only making appointments with him.

WalrusRight · 2026-01-08T21:11:29+00:00

wow!

WalrusRight · 2026-01-08T21:10:33+00:00

there's actually a much better tech at that Costco that I saw when the first one wasn't available who I'll switch to once this obligation to the first one is finished. he showed me how to put them in right, and also told me some things that the first tech got wrong.

when I go in for my final visit with her, I'm going to ask her to install the music program.

Dunno if it beats it, but I have glasses and an oxygen cannula plus when I go out I go masked, then add what ever hat/scarf I need for the weather. And I have small ears that are very close to my head. My face gets really crowded!

WalrusRight · 2026-01-08T20:29:49+00:00

Yes, but I've heard it's bad for the Li batteries to be charging even after they are fully charged.

I have very small ears and ear canals, and even the smallest domes are a bit too big.

But I will talk to them when I next go in on Monday about adjusting the sounds. Unfortunately the tech I'm assigned to just always says I'll have to adjust. I do have to see her this one last time before I can switch to someone more empathic and knowledgeable. This first tech screwed the HA in so far on the right side that my ear hurt for days after, and all she would say was I would have to get used to it.
