Am I understanding you correctly that you need aides or have them and don’t wear them? During Covid lockdown I casually mentioned I only used mine when I’m using the phone and both my son and a professional came unglued because not wearing them you have risk of cognitive decline. They are a brand that Apple syncs with My son has worn over the ear hearing aides with silicone molds since he was 6. His loss is severe. He’s not been self conscious about them but right before Covid he decided to get the ones that just are in the ear. They’re crap for him. Makes me crazy since they don’t work for his loss or he just doesn’t listen to me. I have for 5 years behind the ear for moderate loss and no mold oar just microphone tiny cone furs way into ear but not uncomfortable . Either age related or since heading loss came during bronchitis that went to pneumonia possible the particular antibiotic I was on can cause hearing loss. The audiologist office that I go and to son used to go to for years and years , when she asked about my son (as she hadn’t seen him ) I told her he got the in-the canal type she was alarmed and said they only have one microphone and the over the ear have 3. In other words they are not strong enough for his loss. Mine were $3,000 each. Medicare only pays for testing and my Blue Shield nothing. The place that I go to batteries are free. Wherever my son goes he has to buy them and he gets them on Amazon. It’s so wonderful the companies like Sony etc are making aides available. I must say I’ve never seen the fancy pretty ones anywhere! I didn’t go to Costco because of the long relationship with long term audiologist .I felt I was just not going to have same availability/ service at Costco. I found masks like surgeons wear that tie top of head and around neck but my issue for 2 -3 years is the arm of my glasses interfering . I also wore a pin that let people know I’m hard of hearing so they’d try a little harder with their mask on or to at least face me. The most important thing to realize is you need to learn to use them. You don’t put them in your ears and everything’s good. A giant problem when my son was young a teacher working with him felt they weren’t needed. We wound up not having him wear them and he suffered from the time period without them. We then to him to audiology department at a university they did lots of work with hi, and used him studies The audiologist we had for years said most people when getting the over the ear type try the rechargeable batteries, but after a year get ones that need to be changed when they are needed.

Sorry for late response. I happen to have the app already and don’t remember when or why I got it. After hours/ days of trying everything for issues here I decided to try logging on to the forum from Duck Duck…. not only are there no issues with typing , disappearing posts I don’t have ANY ads on the side. I’m thinking I might have downloaded it on recommendation of YouTubers who bait scammers from call centers. Since this is only place that I couldn’t type and had posts rolling and disappearing I haven’t used the search engine for anything else.

Probably off topic but I was having a nightmare time here on my iPad I actually sorta stopped coming let alone posting.tried all suggestions but what worked was logging on Duck Duck and haven’t had one issue since whoops see Tom1mac2 just said that .

Boy Arnold has not taken a breath. Just watching tape .can’t think of last time someone got this much time. Sunny that was tacky. Nothing much of interest this week for me. I saw Bob Odenkirk on a late night talk and he was fun .

I really like the condo community where I live. Tall pine trees and grass. The buildings only have 4 units in each and none facing directly. . Two story and three story. Big shopping center 3 blocks away. I hate the HOA with a passion and have no intention in getting involved. I had to get permission from property management for a ring door bell and they reviewed then had to be approved by HoA at monthly meeting.

That’s what I thought they way it would be done. Then again being pulled on an LA freeway is scary too

I’ve been looking online for the last 6 months thinking about a cruise or travel by myself. I’ve only been on the 4 night Mexico cruise years ago with my late husband and enjoyed it. Do you mind telling me what kind or destination you went on? My two best friends who are long time married gay males kinda led me to believe we’d do a trip when one got an inheritance in November but they haven’t said anything since so I’m thinking they’ve rethought it. I might add they are going on a weekend getaway in a couple of weeks. I’m put off and hurt when I think how I’ve treated them to a coastal getaway, always driven my car on day trips dinners treated birthday dinners etc now don’t think I’m even in the picture now they have new car . I’m in desperate need of a trip

Can’t seem to quote the post about long hair on these contestants . I got a look at a Marlo Thomas photo yesterday and was shocked about her face but she’s got long dyed hair and she’s 85. That being said my hair is short and after lockdown paid someone $500 and 7 hours to color correct by removing all color from hair and leaving me with my grandmas white hair and not the. Never adjusted so recently went back with old highlighted. I do believe long hair can drag a face down. I agree with the poster who feels Gerry is going to find it difficult to dismiss ladies. I know I wouldn’t want to move across country away from my limited family and friends ,so that will be interesting.

I just remember Aselo slept in a different bedroom playing games never helping. She said she had 3 kids . Remember when they had been in car on a trip out and he gets out of the car and goes in the house,leaving her to unload kids? He’s a real gem

I have the other by its lonesome because I broke the other during my last move… or was it the move before the year before? I was a designer at a very successful upscale floral shop and the spoiled son who was running it gave us one wine glass with the stores name on it for Christmas . One wine glass. I was participating in one of the first walks for AIDS at Stanford and asked him to sign( sponsor ) my donation sheet according to miles I would walk . He said he didn’t want to get involved in “that stuff “. so I told him I’d wear the company T-shirt and he relented. That shirt was probably another Christmas gift. I left that job with a note on his desk on a Friday saying I wouldn’t be back. My late husband had one of this catalogs for his 15 year and didn’t see anything he wanted so we got our grown son a Snoopy watch.

What the HELL with Holly staggering down the aisle holding on to that atrocious hair all bent over . She always has her bottom lip out with mouth gaping open like going she’s going to be sick or is smelling something bad. May I say that was the WORST male strip dancing ever. Also at the gym he was down right aggressive pulling her down the hall

Already distracted, was Sara helping Ana out? She was walking carefully like an injury/ or heels to high?

I don’t think Cassidy really gave an answer to why she continued to support Trump after Jan 6 except to repeat he’s charming. Granted her mother brought to her attention when she was leaving for Mar a Lago that she had a flat affect and not herself… hmmm like in a cult?

Didn’t they say she was coming to the states to be with him, or do I have my screw ups mixed up?

A couple of weeks ago I had my yearly eye exam and doctor told me my left eye lid droop is interfering with peripheral vision of left eye. She said it would be corrected with new glasses. She then told me about new drops you can put in your eye and 15 minutes later lid lifts/ opens . It last 6-8 hours . She said she’d give me sample since is a prescription I was going to party so used it that weekend and low and behold it works! Amazing! . Party was outside in garden and my eyes watered the whole time. My question if my lid interferes with vision why wouldn’t insurance cover surgery it’s not cosmetic at that point. She also mentioned anyone can do cataract surgery too but insurance won’t pay unless gets to that point. After that I went to grocery store and had 2nd shingles vaccine. Arm hurt like a bigger for that night and 2nd. One week later after picking up new specs i go back to same grocery store and get both flu and RSV vaccines What a terrible reaction I had soon after arriving home. I started to shake uncontrollably. Teeth and jaws chattering body jerking etc. I couldn’t even type a text my hands were shaking so badly. Geez maybe I should not have had both at same time. It lasted about hour and half stayed under heated blanket etc.

Can you tell me which add blocker ? I don’t come over here like I used to snd typing/ posting is a nightmare. I too am on iPad and just came to phone and my question didn’t post

Today on FB people you know Elizabeth popped up ,o I looked her up and as of August she’s back work at Fox interviewing athletes

I only take mine out when I have a pedicure. My husband knew I should not be home or he’d have to be in the other side of the house when he cut his. I’ve heard Joy say the same thing about Steve .

I have to admit joys feet do look great. I’m younger and my occupation was standing on my feet 8-10 hours a day but still …….

I admit I half ass listen sometimes but did ladies mention meaning of pins they are wearing ?

My cell area code is from where I lived 8 years ago so I also get lots from that area code that I figure are sales or scammers and never answer . I got addicted to YouTube scambaiting during lock down so the other day when I got a call from my old area code I answered Amazon customer service how may I help you? It was someone from my local audiologist office. I saw my son, daughter in law and grandkids yesterday for the first time in 10 days. . The adults got Covid for 2nd time and I had been with them that day as well as 3 days that week. I was so upset they went on planned weekend beach vacation 3 days after testing positive. Livid. I stayed around my place a had a meal delivered once and went out day 7 with mask to pick up an RX.

In 4 years he hasn’t once seen Nev and Max or Kamie ?

As poor as that family is I’m sure either the producers or David paid for casket.

this guy is the only thing that’s keeping me from going bat shit crazy. Carter a adopted shelter dog who although attached at my hip still will not let me approach him and if I go into my bedroom when he’s there he runs under the bed. He chews everything ,cardboard ,scotch tape , floorboards. He is Houdini able to get out of every harness and collar I’ve tried, even a cat halter. He sits out on this chair in the heat so the umbrella came from Amazon last night and he promptly got up on it in the dark. I am so angry at my son and daughter in law I could spit. On the day my son texted me ( 25th) to say he and his wife had Covid I had babysat along with several get togethers days before. They went on a planned beach vacation yesterday anyway. Sorry if this got off topic it’s taken 45 minutes to post. Carter is sitting on my hands keeping me from responding to the text picture of my grandsons playing on the beach.

I’m only to the discussion on McConnal which was shocking . I really enjoyed Jim Gaffigan who described himself as iridescent white when I saw him in concert years ago . I’m giving uptrying to post
