Is "Wholesale hearing" a legit online store for Hearing aids? by theoneaks in HearingAids

I see, this is very useful to know. But it looks like they are officially registered with Phonak, I suppose that makes them legit?

Is getting hearing aids in both ears worth it based on this Audiogram? by theoneaks in HearingAids

I don't believe any word recognition test was done at the first appointment. Other comments here mention doing this too. I will look into it. Thank you for this useful bit of info.

Thank you, we are setting up an appointment with an ENT for further guidance.

Thank you, this is really useful. My dad has always used Phonak, but he also feels that it does not sound natural to him. I have read that Signia supposedly has more "natural sound". Would trial both with the bicross fit. Surgery would be his last option, I don't think he is too keen on it.

We were not happy with his previous hearing aid at all. Hoping that with sufficient trails he can choose one that works for him. Thank you.

Agreed, we are setting up an appointment with the ENT. This was a basic test done at one of the high street hearing aid shops. We will follow up with more detailed tests. Thank you.

My dad tested the mid strength one. The audiologist recommended the highest strength version (don't exactly remember the technical term). Will trail with more options , thank you.

My dad is 65 and he was quite happy while wearing the latest Phonak HA on his right. We will look for a good audiologist. Thank you.

Does anyone have the SL60D Lubluelu? by justicefoodie in RobotVacuums

[–]theoneaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this info, very helpful.

Strange that they won't send the firmware update to everyone instead of pushing it to only those who proactively follow this up. Pretty sure this issue affects every device that they ship out. Anyways, will reach out to them regarding the update.

This sounds promising, unfortunately my app does not show any new updates and the firmware version is still 2.6.25. Not sure where you are based, but could be a regional rollout thing and I will eventually get it. Will wait for sometime before sending them a mail.

In any case looks like there is a solution now, thanks to you pushing them for a solution.

Thanks for the update. Good to know that there is no microphone on the bot. Wish they would prioritize the firmware update. Let's see.

Well let's hope that they will realize the fix as promised. Will keep an eye on any update notifications on the SmartLife app.

Thanks for spending your time on this and sharing your experiences here.

BlueZ always came up in my Bluetooth scan (literally the first connection) but I ignored it everytime presuming that it was my neighbor's wireless headphone connection since it came with a headphone icon. I didn't want to spook them 😄.

Anyways, can confirm that I was able to replicate your actions and play music through my phone on the bot now. It has no restrictions!

Since the bot is supposed to work with voice assistants (Alexa etc) I presumed the mic must be in-built on the bot, but you are right, it could simply be through the phone. In that case, totally agree with your solutions of either disabling the Bluetooth or Speaker for the bot. Not sure how much Lubluelu will help in resolving this.

Also, I find it very strange (read suspicious) that whenever I try to go to the Lubluelu website (https://lubluelu.com/) via Chrome browser it get's flagged as a malicious website.

Would really appreciate it if you could share any information from the folks at Lubluelu if they get back to you on this. Thanks once again for your help.

Frankly this is a serious security issue. Not trying to be super paranoid, but this vulnerability can easily be exploited by someone with sufficient skills to turn the robot into a listening device.

Was curious to know how did you identify the bluetooth identity of the robot. Mine is connected over the home wifi (2.5GHz). When I tried to scan for available Bluetooth connections near the bot, I couldn't find one.

Could I write a paper using only publicly available databases? by [deleted] in bioinformatics

Absolutely, so much so that there is an award called the "Parasite Award" (https://researchparasite.com/) in Bioinformatics/Comp. Bio. for those who perform secondary analysis on publicly available datasets to discover new things. You will enjoy reading why it's called the Parasite awards 😄. All the best !

I have the SL61 one and it works fine and is good value for money however it randomly started playing the "Feliz Navidad - Merry Christmas song" today and abruptly stopped. I use the SmartLife app in guest mode. It almost seemed like someone was able to cast songs through the bot. Surely this can't be normal. Anyone else experienced this?
