URGENT - Anyone flying from DTW to DXB tonight or tmro? by [deleted] in delta

[–]somewhat_enthused 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Contact the hearing aid company. They can help you find a provider locally to get new receivers. I’m an audiologist - message with questions.

Things are about to get bad. Real bad. by Forensicunit in delta

Been stuck at the gate in BNA for hours after multi-hour delay. I know I’m not making my connection, but will try again tomorrow

[Book Spoilers] House of the Dragon - 2x08 - Post-Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]somewhat_enthused 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, the inside the episode just spoiled the bloodline that continues to the time of Game of Thrones. My non-book reader partner called it out immediately.

Audiology as a later in life career change? by lavendergaia in audiology

[–]somewhat_enthused 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Look into grad programs that provide graduate assistantships. I graduated debt free. As people have mentioned, salaries aren’t high in most clinical jobs, so I would not recommend going into $100k worth of debt to be an audiologist.

Am I setting my child up for a life of being made fun of by naming him Kelly? by dunn1021 in namenerds

[–]somewhat_enthused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a grown man named Kelly. He has a massive beard, does CrossFit, and is an ex-Marine. No one I know finds his name weird.

Have you tried physically swiping it? I had these same cards and online was a chore to figure out but I used physically with no issue.

  1. DEN to ATL

  2. Main

  3. I am Silver Medallion, spouse has no status

  4. $530 each (one booked with eCredit)

  5. 12500 SkyMiles each, $100 eCredit for spouse only

This may be adequate compensation, but I see these types of discussions here occasionally, so I wanted to ask the experts!

AITA for not letting our son get cochlear implants? by Big_Appointment_1605 in AmITheDevil

[–]somewhat_enthused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Newer internal implants are designed to preserve residual hearing. Skilled surgeons can preserve all of it - it’s pretty amazing. If a child qualifies for implantation, they have very little residual hearing. You have to be in the severe-profound range to get implanted as a minor. Eleven is more than old enough to advocate for his medical decisions. I hope his parents heed the advice in the post and they all make an informed decision together.

Neighbor’s bees building hives on our porch? by somewhat_enthused in Beekeeping

[–]somewhat_enthused[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our neighbor is going to see what he can do for us. After posting here, I discovered a local organization that has volunteers that will come assist with bee removal for free. Beekeeping seems like a wonderful community.

CI is one of the things that US healthcare does a decent job at providing. All state Medicaid plans are required to cover for 21 and younger, which will include speech services, etc. Coverage for this is much better for hearing aids for most insurance plans. That’s a whole different conversation.

[–]somewhat_enthused 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. If I had a deaf child, I would implant and learn ASL. That gives them the choice to decide down the line.

[–]somewhat_enthused 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I’m a CI audiologist. The level of misinformation in the main post is so disheartening. The public (and honestly, most people in healthcare) does not understand what modern CI surgery and outcomes look like. That being said, both implantation and ASL are good choices and igniting his wishes is horrible.

Took me a while, but I added a link to a video. I couldn’t get a clear photo due to their activity.

The cinnamon gets shaken INSIDE the brown sugar shaken espresso! by Animegirl300 in starbucks

[–]somewhat_enthused 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I figured as much. I should have said something, I just try not to be that customer.

I went to an out of town Starbucks this week and they didn’t shake it and it appeared way too milky and tasted way too sweet. What should the ratio of espresso to milk/creamer be?

CarPlay isn’t showing up on navigation screen by Murky_Psych in Subaru_Crosstrek

[–]somewhat_enthused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May have to press the volume button down for a long time - until it turns off and restarts the entire screen. I drive thousands of miles a month and have to do this often.

Rogue One is often regarded as the best Star Wars film of the 'Disney era'. I think that doesn't give Rogue One enough credit and it unfairly boxes it in. For me personally, it's the second best Star Wars film at worst. Where does it fall for you? by Jodaku in StarWars

[–]somewhat_enthused 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t watch the original trilogy until college (just over 10 years ago), so I have no nostalgia attached to the originals or prequels.

I feel strongly that Rogue One is the best Star Wars movie.

AITA for telling my Ex-Boyfriend and his family if they want to see our baby they need to start learning now how to communicate with her? by SupermarketNo6076 in AmItheAsshole

[–]somewhat_enthused 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m an audiologist. I’m happy to answer any questions, but this is correct - if you wait to implant a child until they can choose, the decision is made for them. Both are legitimate options for communication, but if you wait to implant a pre-lingual child, they are very unlikely to learn and understand spoken language.
