John. Throw away your hearing aid.
Comments (5)The guy in question was born in the gray area. He gets his T.V.s from the dump. Goes down to the river to draw water because he is too cheap to fix his well. Makes his rounds to everyone in the town to see what you have so he can borrow it. spent 180 bucks on 4 leaking gas tanks for his truck because he wouldn't buy a new one. A new one costs 109.89. He never got it fixed. this doesn't count the four 120 mile round trips to get the tanks. I have 4 T.V. dishes on my roof. He actually blamed my dishes for screwing up his tv. because it went all snowy and he lost 3 channels He has a 30 year old antenna 20 feet from the ground and a T.V. from the dump. He forgot that he is surrounded by 80 foot tall trees. I wonder how long a dried out streched timing belt will last ? With this guy's luck, probably forever. The shop he went to was a private shop not open to the public. He used to bug me all the time untill we had this T.V. fight. I exploded and called him everything except insulting his native heritage. In this country that could land you in jail. Haven't seen him since. This was last year. When his truck was running and before our fight he brought over his truck.I said it needs wires. He brought it over after changing wires. Ran worse than ever. I said take the wires back for warranty. He said he couldn't because he got them from the dump. He changed his tie rod end and after that he had a major pull to one side. Turned the wheel and it pulled to the other side. He got the tie rod end from the wreaker. It was seized solid. What do you do with a guy like this ? And yes he has money. He has a saw mill and was offered many jobs with it. He won't do it. He never sells or gives anything away. It will rot in his yard first and does. He has a back hoe with a bucket that needs one valve in the spool valve assembly. I think the motor has seized by now and the tires have rotted off. Oh well to each his own. Anyone else with neat neighbours ? I should write a book about this guy....See MoreCan You Help Me With Hearing Aids?
Comments (13)I have hearing aids now for quite a few years. I have moderate to severe hearing loss in both ears. I should have been wearing them my whole life, but kids can be real cruel in the first grade! Back in 2006 I finally broke down, got tested and went over the different kinds of hearing aids that were available. BTE, CIC, etc. I chose CIC and have not regretted it at all. I have both low and high frequency loss of different decibles. The brand I have now are Audibel, these are digital. The right one is red and the left is blue. I had mine fitted just for me with a substance that was poured into my ear to make a mold. I hardly know they are there. To avoid that stuffed up feeling, the tiny air vents needs to be cleaned at least once a week. I just went back to the specialist for a in depth hearing test. I have loss some more % of hearing in the past 6 years. I was given a phamplet of the brand Focus by Microtech. These are also digital. I can still hear the dog lapping out of the water bowl and the leaves crunch under my feet as I walk. I'm am still very happy with my Audibel brand and don't plan on getting any new ones just yet....See MoreDo You Ever Hear Unexplained Sounds In Your Home?
Comments (15)ALL the time. And we see things that are unexplained too. The first thing that happened in this house was when I walked across the yard, across the cool decking to the old antique wagon to feed the birds. When I came back, the hose was on. It wasn't when I went by the first time. It had one of those sprayers on it that looked like the firehose type. You had to turn it to make the water come on. My son called me at work one day in early September. Wanted to know if I turned the heat on. This my not sound odd, but we NEVER use our heat...ever. He came home and it was over 100 degrees in our house and the heater was and had been on for quite awhile. Our bedroom has a door to the back yard. When it is nice out, we sleep with that door open. One night, we got into bed and I realized we hadn't opened it. DH said he would get it. He got out of bed and hadn't even taken a step, when the door flew wide open. We have a ceiling fan in our bedroom. DH was laying on the bed, watching it. It stopped by itself. He called out to me, but I was in the living room and didn't hear him. Then it started again. He came to see where I was, as he thought I was playing a trick on him. Our walk in closet light goes off and on, on and off by itself. As does the light in the hallway bathroom. We see shadows flitting down the hallway. DS has had what feels like a hand brush the back of his head in his bedroom, which is actually the den. He has heard a female voice say things and seen a figure walk out of his room. Our pit bull will sit in front of the sofa, like she is looking at someone sitting there. All the sudden she will stand up, keep looking at the sofa and just wag the heck out of her tail. No one is on the sofa. I am not sure if this "ghost" is the original owner who I have heard had alzheimer's and would walk out of the house and down the street unattended or if it is my late FIL. I used to be convinced it was my FIL, but I am not so sure anymore. But then I think maybe again it is. When we lived in our last house, he lived with us and passed away while we lived there. I used to hear him walking in the house, with his walker scraping the baseboards. I saw him twice in the garage. I am not afraid of the goings on in our house. However, my son? He is totally freaked out about it....See MoreHelp with Hearing Loss and Hearing Aids Information
Comments (26)Well, I got my ReSound hearing aids this afternoon. I saw the ENT last week and have the typical drop-off bilaterally in higher frequencies. No organic problem although he did mention that there was a genetic component to my hearing loss pattern. Regardless, I was a little shocked when I first put them in (and they weren't yet calibrated) with all the sounds I immediately heard. Very weird. But then we worked for awhile and tweaked things here and there, and then I learned how to do things on the app on my phone. That's a really nice feature. So I've had them in for maybe 2 hours; not long. I went to Home Depot right afterwards and since then I've just been sitting out on my deck reading. And I have to say, there's lots of noise/sounds I've been missing-more than I ever realized. But oh-the bird song that I can hear again!! I was missing all that high pitched stuff, which I had realized, but I didn't know how much I was missing. The next big test will be next week when both daughters and all 4 grandchildren get here. We'll see if they notice anything different (ha.) Plus I'm curious to see how I tolerate the feel of the domes in my ears over time. Things in my ear canals have always bugged me but I assume I will build up a tolerance to that....See More
