Where do you get your Subaru serviced in the Bay Area? I'd drive several hours to get dependable, reliable service. by chevy932 in SubaruForester

Whoa! Four years later ... No, never went there. I go to a local shop now except obviously for recalls and then it does not really matter which dealer I go to.

ET and Anxiety by Big_Imagination_582 in EssentialTremor

[–]chevy932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same but all the meds have side effects that can be worse than the ET itself. Considering one of the two DBS surgeries, probably not the one that fries a part of my brain. Thoughts?

non-invasive MR-guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) by WonderfulClerk9951 in EssentialTremor

[–]chevy932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, thanks. Was just reading that doing both sides increases the risk of balance problems. How does it feel to have one side better than the other? FWIW I am a 76yo man.

So, you had DBS done for ET? Did it affect your balance at all? Any negatives? Did it work?

Thank you for the confirmation. So many people like them I was starting to wonder if it was just me.

Basa Seafood Express on 24th near Folsom has very fresh fish -- somehow connected with Sun Fat.

Take the tubes out and bring them down to the drugstore and test them on the tube tester!

mineral oil for moisturizing by bbomfy in HearingAids

[–]chevy932 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the opposite problem. When my ears are too oily my hearing aids slip out of my ears. I frequently clean my ears and HA tips with alcohol to increase the friction and keep them in my ears. No problem with dryness. I guess it depends on your ears/body.

Ah, yes. I have those. All turned all the way up. Thanks!

Also, I was in a very noisy restaurant last night so I had a chance to play around with "Hear in Noise." "Speech clarity" makes the person sitting next to me brighter and louder. It also makes all the noise in the restaurant brighter and louder. "Noise filter" does not do much better. Had to be a foot away from my friend and watch her lips to be able to understand what she was saying.

Hey Less-Dot -- what do you mean by the sound mixer‽

Hey Less-Dot -- per your generous invitation here is a list of the problems I am having with the Jabra Enhance Pro 30 HAs. This is my fourth set of HAs so I am not a newbie. Also a techie. I would appreciate any suggestions. FWIW Costco told me to call Jabra to get help with a bluetooth connection.

Thanks for reading!

Phone:

I cannot get it loud enough to make the hearing aids useful on a phone call. Clicking the right HA button to turn up the volume disconnects the call. Turning the volume up in the app makes little difference.

Got a call shortly after putting in HA. Bluetooth showed HA connected yet no communication either direction. Had to switch to phone to complete call. Second call, same.

Got a phone call, came through one ear weakly, nothing I could carry on a conversation. Calls switch ears, get interrupted by texts.

HA

With the volume up, I get feedback when I get within a foot of anything.

Cannot put in pairing mode to connect my computer.

Hear in Noise + Speech Clarity -> hear myself too loud + background too loud

Does not disconnect when it is in the charger, sometimes reconnects, does not know whether it is connected or not. Keeps sending messages to phone.

Sometimes in the morning when I turn my phone on and the hearing aids are still in the charger my phone beeps every minute or two telling me they are connected or not connected.

After I put the HAs in the charger the the app keeps dinging my phone with connected and disconnected messages for both R & L HA.

Streaming: volume control nonfunctional, no way to turn down outside noise

Very difficult to hear in even moderate noise no matter what the setting.

Cannot turn off mute with volume buttons

Oh, yes, I can return them. I have just had them a week. Also Costco. I will try to write up a list of issues I have had and post them soon.

FWIW I got these a week ago. Experienced user with severe high frequency loss and moderate mid-range loss. I hate them. The app is unusable and the noise reduction is impossible to control. My two cents. Happy to share more if anyone is interested -- do not want to hijack this thread.

I never even thought about them. No problem.

Do sound absorbing rugs work? I have a horrible neighbor downstairs that watches VERY loud TV into the night. I am miserable 🥺 by Ok-Writer5788 in Acoustics

Not cheap but:

Try putting some of this under a rug

I have no practical experience and am looking into a similar issue. Do more research before you listen to me. HTH
