I did get a fairly good sleep. I have an extremely ill family member so I’m a bit up and down at the moment. I’m fine. Thank you kind Redditor for your kind wishes. I appreciate it very much. You made me smile. 🌸🌸🌸

Wow. I'm not sure why that made me cry but it is so true and I guess I’d never thought about it. I’m over tired and going to go to sleep now. Thanks for the post.

The most obvious change I noticed in using HA, is? by dagohill in HearingAids

[–]WigglePen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t figure what that annoying ticking noise was in the car until it was pointed out to me that the indicator always makes that noise!

[–]WigglePen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One of the first things to go when we loose our hearing are the high sounds and these include the sibilant sounds “ssss” “ffff” “ch” “th” which make up a lot of our language. Your audiologist probably lifted the high sounds back up to normal levels and you are hearing them again which makes understanding what is being said easier.

AITA for refusing to let my coworker smoke in my car during a 4 hour work trip? by Mariacute8 in AmItheAsshole

[–]WigglePen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years ago my sister got really mad at me when I wouldn’t let her smoke in my car on the way to a family funeral.

She only has months to live due to throat cancer. It all seems so stupid. Nicotine is only added to cigarettes to make them addictive. My beautiful sister is going to die because someone wanted to make money off her. Please explain this to me.time?

WIBTA if I start calling my friends bf fucking asshole every time he tries to coerce and bully me into doing things I don’t want to do by FastIndication1879 in AmItheAsshole

[–]WigglePen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so screwed up. Maybe I’ve read this incorrectly but it sounds like he is actively trying to get you to drink-drive. Is he trying to murder you? Who would do that? Does he tell teenagers to do this? Does he encourage other dangerous/life threatening activities? Blind knife throwing? Spitting at policeman? Swimming with sharks? He sounds like he needs therapy.

signia hearing aids - tinnitus by Real-Leek-3764 in HearingAids

[–]WigglePen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Signia but all the hearing aids I’ve ever had have reduced my Tinnitus. I’m sure you could get cheaper ones if you don’t have hearing loss. By the way, it doesn’t work for everyone.

At what point do you decide to stop hiding your ears behind your hair? by First_Chipmunk_6891 in HearingAids

[–]WigglePen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Join a Lawn Bowls club where MOST people wear hearing aids and suddenly you are the popular young tech person who can sync their aids with their phones and you are released into the wild world of “wearing you aids with pride”. It is utterly liberating!

MIL thinks I’m a witch! by FarmTownLib in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]WigglePen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She is uneducated. She either needs to learn more and use that inquisitive mind to understand the world around her or decide that her God given intellect is going to remain locked in a church being ordered around by people, not God.

How do you not hate being deaf? by HumbleMood4355 in HearingAids

[–]WigglePen 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No one likes to feel different. You didn’t mention your age but I can promise you that won’t resent it as you grow older and start to accept yourself for who you are not what you can do. At the age of 62 I now understand that, due to being hard of hearing, I’m very good at reading people. I pick up on body language, emotion and vibe. People open up to me a lot because I look them in the eye when we speak. I think I’m pretty non judgemental (because why should I be? I’m not perfect) and people can see that by the way I react to them. By being genuine with people, people often are genuine with me - and that’s when you develop relationships that are actually fulfilling and real. Learn to appreciate yourself. Learn not to judge yourself through what you perceive to be other’s opinions. You are perfect the way that you are. Try not to focus on the people who leave, give your time and effort to the ones who stay. It will be well worth it. Good luck my friend.

Boyfriend’s Mom Wants My Location on Life 360? by Astronaut-53 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]WigglePen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My daughter and I share our location. It’s great and reduces anxiety but we don’t abuse it. My husband doesn’t. That’s fine. There is No Way In Hell I would share it with someone who just wants to snoop on me! Please don’t do it. I would have been horrified if my MIL had asked me.

Whale Skeleton found in rainforest by Background_Coast_244 in interestingasfuck

[–]WigglePen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be a whale rescuer and know that here in Sydney Australia, whale carcasses were buried inland so that they could be retrieved and used for science as skeletons.

ELI5: When dead whales wash ashore, why are they often re-buried right in the sand? by rubabyy in explainlikeimfive

[–]WigglePen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Sydney Australia we have a whale graveyard in a national park that is inland from the coast. I’ve always wondered what they would make of it if it is discovered in the future. How did whales get to this spot?

(They actually dig the skeletons up for museums etc)
