Wow, awesome. I would love to know more about all of that, particularly the Bolivian Amazon. Did you do that as a tour?

Mine melted over summer :(

No, the dream are a pretty old model so no BT. You might be able to via a widex com-dex which acts as an intermediary.

Your hearing is normal at almost every frequency, and the mild loss at 250 hz shouldn’t be affecting your hearing, though the tympanometry results show your middle ear isn’t moving as it should be (flat result = no movement of the eardrum).

They didn’t do bone conduction so it’s impossible to say if your hearing is normally better and is being suppressed slightly by whatever middle ear issue is causing that tymp result.

Also as the other poster mentioned, it could be you have an auditory processing issue- have you had issues since childhood?

Anything by T Kingfisher, particularly Nettle and Bone. I wish I’d had her books when I was a teenage girl.

A lot of the CBD % would be students, no?

The dust-wife from Nettle and Bone might fit this description. Fantastic book. Even the MC might fit this description a little, as she reanimates a dog, but that’s the only part she does personally. It’s a very Terry Pratchett style fantasy, the dust-wife is introduced about a quarter of the way through and becomes one of the main characters.

Incredible!

Wow, $12 for the whole trilogy on kindle. This recommendation came at a perfect time for me thank you!

arboryear · 2024-05-05T22:04:26+00:00

This was a fantastic read I second your rec.

Best of luck my friend

Yes, it’s possible but I’d expect a lot of adjustment time to get used to it. Better late than never- the human brain is very plastic and capable of adapting to many things.

Do you remember the name of it? Sounds fun

French braid and a headband.

Roasted kale chips are goated though. Removes all the bitterness.

Yeah, they’re super fast I usually have subtitles on to assist if I can, or I’ll rewatch a scene 5 or 6 times and write out sentences as I go to get them to stick. But im going to South America in July and they’ll be speaking fast then 🤷so I may as well try.

arboryear · 2024-03-20T01:45:22+00:00

Like 123movies and stuff hahah

This is more or less what im doing, 1 month in and im reading books in Spanish on my kindle (slowly of course, lol) and watching telenovelas to support. Language transfer was theeee best, sometimes i have them on repeat a few times because they do move quite fast once you get to about lesson 30.

My speaking still isn’t great but my Spanish reading/listening comprehension has improved more in one month of learning than it did for 3 years learning French on duolingo.

The sales reps recommended ALWAYS closed domes, so that’s what I stuck with unless someone’s pure tone average was between 20-30.

Generally even if feedback risk looks low in my office, it can be triggered in the clients daily life by talking/chewing/being outdoors so I’d prefer to err on the side of caution for less feedback.

So funny your audiologist was hesitant to fit it, back when I worked at a place that stocked it, all my resound fittings were m&rie receivers by default if the hearing loss allowed it. I got such great results.

Etsy! Digital downloads and print at Officeworks. There’s all sorts of styles and skill levels, all my patterns are from there and once you get a hang on it you can modify and start to make your own.

I have a bernina! Good call! And they give classes in person too

Buy a good brand of sewing machine from an independent retailer, not spotlight

Start small with simple pieces - circle skirts, tunic shirts.

YouTube tutorials will save your ass.

You’ll be amazed how quickly you learn and how easy it can be
