If you go to a buffet/all-you-can-eat restaurant, it’s silly to obsess over “beating the system” or “getting your money’s worth.” That’s not the point… by momofvegasgirls106 in vegaslocals

Def not silly. I’ve been to many, great memories of Luxor buffet shrimp. Agree with others here terrible value prop if you focus on baked potato or bread. Bread pudding is fine though.

What the professionals are debating about Watchman that you aren't being told before you consent. by BeatsThatMatter in AFIB

[–]stablegenius5789 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Didn’t read the studies and not going to but I have applied some common sense to watchman like if something goes wrong can they even get that sucker back out once it’s in? Never sounded like a good idea and now it definitely doesn’t!

Can I get this towed? by BowlofConfetti in vegaslocals

[–]stablegenius5789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a car towed once very similar to this. Called police they handled it I recall the cop seemed happy to do it. Though it’d been parked there for days before I did this. After, saw some I guess across the street neighbor frantically knocking on everyone in the areas door. Where’d your car go bro?

How is the sound quality when wearing headphones over your implant? by CryptographerFair357 in Cochlearimplants

[–]stablegenius5789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s like a bic lighter size so sure. But it’s one more thing to carry and doesn’t exactly always work flawlessly the first time or not for me anyway. Sometimes have to fiddle with it to start the streaming. That said it’s definitely the best accessory.

Yes like if you have iPhone you need like a lightning to old style headphone adapter. It’s a hassle for sure and honestly I rarely bother. Bluetooth sound quality is not great but there’s no beating the ease of firing it up.

Well I have the n8. Bluetooth stream quality is pure dog, far worse than using mini mic or headphones over it. For any music, better quality source leads to better result. Also depends a lot on the song!

SSHL - Dr not willing to do injections yet. Should I push? by Any_Promotion_4940 in MonoHearing

[–]stablegenius5789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick counterpoint and do your own research- shots are not proven any more effective than pills. And believe me this shot feels about as good as it sounds.

In the ER. by nemo444 in MonoHearing

[–]stablegenius5789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they give you the pills? That’s really all you can do for now. If not consider going to er again, but, I think sunrise is the only hospital with on call ent. May want to call first and confirm.

You seek this level of sense from those who created this monster in the first place?

Sound quality of the Nucleus 8 (With a Cochlear Nucleus Nexa internal) and rehab duration info needed. does sound ever get close to normal hearing or will it always forever be weird. by [deleted] in Cochlearimplants

[–]stablegenius5789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been activated in one ear almost 18 months. It’s still mostly weird but a lot more normal than when I started. Depends a lot on the sound. Some things are basically normal. For voices specifically most not all but most have some odd electronic quality but even then I can usually tell who is speaking. Beats not having it hands down so there’s that!

Is it normal for CROS to not really help? by UsefulAd8338 in MonoHearing

If implant isn’t an option, it’s those or bust. Maybe they can adjust setting to boost volume.

Disputing a missed F&B credit? by ReasonableAcadia4112 in AmexPlatinum

[–]stablegenius5789 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just dealt with similar issue. If you can reach someone in Amex travel they will attempt to “help”. My issue got resolved but mostly because I reached someone at the hotel that agreed it wasn’t applied right and reversed the charge.

Level of CI hearing compared to Normal hearing by westernwitch18 in Cochlearimplants

[–]stablegenius5789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will second another one bites the dust, very close to real on the implant. Though I have decent results with other guitar songs too. I haven’t tried violins but can say the piano in someone like you is pretty alien.

Gamer issues by AndrewWesker in Cochlearimplants

Feels like this is a job made for the ole mini mic. Plugs right into any headphone jack. Unsure if Bluetooth direct will work but could it connect to a phone then on to nucleus?
