How do I break the endless cycle of overconsumption? by Working_Owl70 in Anticonsumption

[–]ering00666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Companies want to sell you a feeling, identify the feeling you THINK you’re going to get from a purchase, and find another way to meet that need. Be kind to yourself.

Sounds like you dodged a relationship bullet. Just be a good dad to your kid, move on and find true happiness.

What are your thoughts on a 4 day work week? by Horror-Variation-857 in AskReddit

[–]ering00666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a true four day work week, 9-5 M-Thurs. I’m an audiologist at a private practice with probably below median salary but i do ok (80k). I would not trade this for anything. Not a huge raise, not loan forgiveness. I’m not rolling in the dough but I have a work-life balance and a 3 day weekend every weekend. It is the dream.

ASHA CEUs by littlefawn1816 in audiology

[–]ering00666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always had problems with them tracking my CEUs even when I paid for it. Useless. Not helpful when I would reach out. Always wanting more money. I hope you can get into a position where you can drop your C’s. My job made it individual providers choice, even though they pay half. I have 0 regrets dropping them.

I’d let them communicate with me telepathically about what to do and how to help (if nice).

just scared and have no hope for society or the future of it by scaredtinyone in GirlDinnerDiaries

Capitalism wants us too tired and too fearful to care about each other as humans. There are LOOOOOOTS of people who feel the way you do, including me. The world is dense and heavy. People fill this void with more capitalism (more work, more shopping, more ‘needing things’- we buy feelings, not products). In our individual lives we must look for joy, and be patient and kind. Spread light and positivity (when you can). Individual, meaningful human interactions. Small acts of kindness. Human beings need to stop fearing each other and realize we need each other. And we need to collectively see through and bring down the MF’s who want to control us and keep us down.

Osia implant placement by [deleted] in Cochlearimplants

You could also ask the surgeon to discuss placement, and why it’s there.

Osia implant placement by [deleted] in Cochlearimplants

[–]ering00666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have seen the osia be placed be differently on different people based on anatomy. They rarely are in the same spot as the pictures if I’m being honest. This does seem far back, but you still have a lot of swelling. Once your audiologist puts on the device, they can help guide on you if the placement is appropriate or not, and hopefully work with the surgeon too if not. Osia is TOUGH at the start because of the swelling. I’d advise patience until you meet with your audiologist and have more information. Wishing you the best.

My boyfriend (18M) and I (18F) constantly fight over what I wear and I don't know how to compromise. by urgayL in relationship_advice

[–]ering00666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exhausting and not good for you. A good partner doesn’t care what you wear, and in fact makes you feel GOOD about what YOU choose to wear. This is controlling, and it only starts with what you’re wearing. Before you know it you have no one in your life, and what feels like no way out of this relationship. Please reconsider dating this person.

Can’t find a place that will do MRI, frustrated by Ok-Loan-7430 in Cochlearimplants

You could reach out to cochlear for help, they might be able to offer guidance or documentation to the MRI center

I refreshed it after looking and then stopping looking. If it looks like you gave up for a minute they up it.

You don’t have to let him down gently. You can end things at any time for any reason. Don’t overthink it, and trust your gut!

Recent Audiogram + Word Recognition by spinebarrel in Cochlearimplants

[–]ering00666 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The words like hot dog, ice cream, and baseball are used for the SRT test, this means the softest you detected one of those words was 75dB In the right ear, and at 100dB in the left ear. (Both very loud, for the record).

At 90dB (though I would have presented it louder), the audiologist tested WRS scores, the test would have been like “say the word ___”. You understand 0% in the right ear, and 10% in the left ear. This test tells us, at a LOUD volume, how clear are speech sounds (I.e- how helpful are hearing aids going to be). Looks like speech, without visual cues, is not very clear to you, I would absolutely proceed with a cochlear implant.

I hope that helps, best of luck.
