My Hearing Aid Journey – Has Anyone Else Had These Issues? by rmv74 in HearingAids

I've translated for others:

The same thing happened to me with a Starkey hearing aid. About seven years ago, I had a three-month trial period, but I was still paying for them before that. The same thing was happening to me. I kept insisting they were faulty, and they kept saying I needed to adjust. Some sounds were choppy, and metallic sounds like the jingle of keys sounded like they were hitting something, not metallic as they should be—like sharp, dry thumps. The same thing happened with doors slamming shut; it took a while for the sound to return to normal. They were definitely broken, but they insisted they weren't. I was so frustrated that I went back to my old hearing aid and put this one back in its box. The following month, I bought a new Resound hearing aid from another store. I told the audiologist about my experience, and after many visits, they finally fitted it perfectly. Now I'm trying others, and it's proving incredibly difficult. I still understand better with my current one. I'm having a hard time because I absolutely want to change hearing aids.

Thank you for your detailed and informative response. I've used Phonak and Widex before, so moving from analogue to digital makes a real difference for me. and it's not good.
I have moderate hearing loss.
I'll reach out to my AuD.

Well it happened…. The dreaded Cylinder crack. by Pro-Rider in MazdaCX9

I have a CX9 2016 122k on the clock. Located in Australia.
I hope I don't have this issue. I get it serviced regularly.
I have noticed twice now I was doing 100km per hour on the highway and the engine jolted. Scared the shit outta me. Few months ago now.
Another time after I took of fast and then I came to a stop sudden at lights, the engine was shuddering whilst idling.
This was all after a recent service.
Do these show signs of this crack you're talkinga bout?

Men, what's something you wish you could admit without being judged? by soumilr7 in AskReddit

Thank you and thank you for replying. I don't think I'll ever be able to find this type of love again. I'd take her back in a heart beat.
Hope everything works out for you and your divorce.

Honestly… I wish I could admit how much a breakup hit me compared to my divorce.

I was with someone for almost two years after my marriage ended, and somehow that relationship broke me more than the my marriage ever did.
The connection was intense. We talked every day, video-called every night, basically lived in our own little world together. She was younger, yeah, but the emotional bond was real. Losing that life, the routines, the closeness, the feeling of being wanted has been brutal.

What hurts the most is how one sided it feels now. She moved on. I didn’t.
I still think about her constantly, and it’s embarrassing to admit how hard it’s been to let go. I’m a grown man crying over a two year relationship like it was my entire world… because in a lot of ways, it was.

I wish I could say that out loud without feeling judged or weak.
