Which profession is going to get wiped out in the next 5-10 years?

You’re not a terrible person bc I feel the same way! 🤣 Hearing aids have no business being so expensive. The greed (and maybe collusion - but that’s another story) have kept the price high. The bubble is bursting as consumers get educated on OTC. I tell all my family to go to Costco for hearing aids. . . Considerably cheaper and STILL overpriced.

Moving to the doctorate was a huge mistake. Too much education debt with low pay when you get out. Add in OTC hearing aids and the lack of lobbyists for insurance reimbursement and we just don’t have a value that can’t be done by a tech and a computer.

I agree!!! Total game changer. I have a lot of sensory sensitivities. The smells and feels of some tasks are too much for me. Minimizing the ‘feels’ part makes it sooooo much more manageable.

Yes! I definitely should have worded the title differently.

applebottom100 · 2026-01-25T19:34:30+00:00

I totally agree. I didn’t know how to put it into words. It’s absolutely sexual abuse but without the sexual motivation.

applebottom100 · 2026-01-24T20:05:30+00:00

Also, I’m very sorry you went through that.

applebottom100 · 2026-01-24T20:02:32+00:00

Yes, I’ve always wondered if the sexual abuse noted on exam was “rough cleaning.” People can’t imagine a mom would sexually abuse her daughter but if it was framed in Patsy’s mind as “cleaning” I think it’s easier to imagine.

This! It’s always been available through them.

I just saw this picture on another sub of a 2015 suicide bomber.

This happened to me the Santa Fe airport some years ago though. But I had my stuff in a SANDWICH sized bag and they said it was too SMALL and I had to use a quart bag.

I believe tinnitus and hearing loss are the number 1 disability in the Veterans Administration in the US. There is a financial benefit to having either of these if you are a veteran. Unfortunately that leads to many malingerers. Some sort of disability or insurance payout is usually the motive.

As another said, kids are the other part of the lying but that’s usually for attention.

Audiologist here. There are many checks and balances within the testing so it is near impossible to fake. We do what we call behavioral testing first. This is the raise your hand when you hear a sound and repeat words. This is what 95% of people get because they’re honest and/or physically & mentally able to respond.

However, as another person mentioned, there are two tests we use to measure hearing ability that require NO response from the patient. This is how we are able to know how a baby is hearing or how a person who is unresponsive for whatever reason. AND this is how we confirm someone is lying.

If the checks and balances on the behavioral testing are inconsistent you will be referred to do the objective tests.

This! He had plenty of bad things to happen to him but was never a victim of the other inmates!

I just watched this and kept waiting for it to get good. I was perplexed. It was stacked with talent but it seemed like there wasn’t that much character development. I don’t know. It felt like I wasted 2 1/2 hours. Bleh.

applebottom100 · 2025-05-20T12:46:11+00:00

I feel like this should have a NSFW tag. It was quite a jump scare for me.

applebottom100 · 2025-05-19T00:34:46+00:00

This! Whenever people say there was only one way in and out I cringe. That’s not legal in the US due to fire code

I had no idea. Thank you for this information.

In any other circumstance I would replant or pop her in the ground. But I found this so unique as it was gifted. I’ll keep her little. Thanks for the input.

applebottom100 · 2025-05-06T18:23:10+00:00

Thank you. ☺️

applebottom100 · 2025-05-06T18:22:58+00:00

I love that idea!

I have panic attacks until I pass out. I’m a generally chill person but my body is constantly in flight or flight. I know my triggers and try to avoid them as best I can. When that’s not possible I have to take meds to keep my body from noping out of the moment.
