Ooh. Lightbulb Gru moment.

Make that make your ears look like Vulcan or fairy &/or elven style ears.
They'd sell big time I'm sure.

Underreported benefit of hearing aids: streaming Padam Padam straight to my ears and making every Saturday morning farmers market a Pride Parade. 🏳️‍🌈🥦💃🏻

Oh hearing aids, the answer we sought
You may reduce dementia risk, we thought
A first-of-its-kind trial
Found cognitive decline did slow
Thanks to you, a better future's now fraught

@garry. Age-related loss is a for . It is so good to see the data backing up this fact and so important that made available (and more affordable).

Watched Rose Ayling-Ellis: Signs for Change on iPlayer tonight. I grew up wearing hearing aids in a hearing world and never had chance to sign - it was an emotional watch.

I burst into tears when she spoke to her mum about going to a hearing school and said how hard she had to work to keep up because reading and writing is entirely taught from approach of hearing sound. My hearing was just about good enough to get by at school, but it was draining…and I can now see why.

I've run into the first problem with my hearing aids that I can't solve. They're paired to my mobile phone Bluetooth but when I get a (rare) call I can't be heard because the phone's microphone is turned off because BT is on. The hearing aids aren't a phone microphone.

I'd like to keep Bluetooth turned on as streaming the phone call audio to my hearing aids would be a good thing.

I’ve started to research OTC hearing aids, and I’m kind of blown away at the options. I’m leaning towards ones with Bluetooth support, since wearing hearables full time will necessarily stop my use of earbuds; unfortunately everything I’m reading suggests even good ones aren’t super for music. Anyone out there with recent experience who has advice?

, can you call committee reps & your state assembly person & ask them to support this act? letcakidshear.com/news/lettert

Over 30 states mandate hearing aid coverage for children in commercial plans and/or the essential health benefit state exchange. California is not one of them. Commercial health insurance plans are not required to cover for kids & only 1 in 10 families on privately funded health plans in California have some coverage.

Fun with Hearing Aids: My hearing aids play a little “wake up” tune in my ears when I put them in. After the little tune plays then - BAM- suddenly I’m part of the world of sound and there is noise.

If I time it right, I can synchronize the tune so that it happens at the same time.

If I time it JUST right I can get each hearing aid to play the tune just one note off, which goes me the sensation of bilateral stimulation.

Then, BAM, and noise.

In almost 40 years of wearing I spotted something today I’ve never seen before - a hearing aid lying on the pavement.

I picked it up and handed it to the nearest shop in the hope its owner might retrace their steps to there.

What worried me was it was fitted with very tiny super domes and anchor was new and barely shaped. It was also switched off.

My inkling is it was on the pavement due to poor fitting and training from a private supplier. This didn’t happen under old .
