I made a serious hearing aid wishlist for accessories I'll need, but I got something fun and cheap first from Etsy. I got spiral wire wrap in silver and gold to wrap the aid wire for special occasions to make it look like jewelry.

Yeah the TV is probably an extra gadget, but I'm going to wait because the Roku TV has Bluetooth capabilities built in and may not need it.

It's supposedly better at picking up speech through a mask, which is important because of K. I'm really glad she took the time to consult with her work friend.

Besides them 3 visits, I can bring them in for repairs to her office and if she has to send them away, they're covered under a warranty. However if I loose one, it's $400 each to replace. Also they can't get wet, and I can't wear them on rides at theme parks.

There's a chance it may connect to the TV as well.

We matched the behind the ear piece to my hair & the in ear piece & wire are clear. Unless you're looking for it or I'm fiddling with it, the hearing aids should be invisible. It has an app to make adjustments on my phone & the calls connect through Bluetooth.

After discussing my case w/ a colleague working with Auditory Processing Disorder clients, my doctor changed from a Sonic Enchant to an Oticon miniRITE R. I have demo pictures to show the size. I'm getting the rechargeable with the overnight desktop charger. Later I can get a travel pod charger.

I just confirmed with my bank my debit card purchase level since I'm spending $3000 in one go. Everything is set for 1 PM. I'm practically vibrating. I asked, "What," so many times on the call and when I said I'm ordering hearing aids she got excited for me too.

I miss 80s and early 90s movies that weren't bad or good, just meh. But slowly built a cult following, became the staple Saturday late morning movie when they ran out of old Godzillas, or showed up on things like USA's Up All Night theater.

A ton of people in the U.S. use mobility aids (I use a rollator sometimes) and the number of people who have loved ones who use them has gotta be huge. Hoping this blatant ableism doesn’t fly with people.

Agent K sat on the couch pressed to my side and wearing ear defenders until just before 10 PM. Then the melatonin kicked in and he took himself and his cat to bed.

I had to delete our Door Dash shift because K got paler as 5 PM approached, and at 4 PM he started vomiting. So we're just gonna bunker down until July 4th passes. It sucks to take the financial hit, but I can't terrorize my kid.

Whelp K is bunkered and not budging. I told him I can't give up the $50 I make a night with food delivery, especially on a night when pizzas will be huge. But I promised to have him home for 7 PM. If I didn't need the money for the weekend, I'd stay home.

Same here with NY. Having a state where fireworks are illegal next to a state that allows them, is like trying to ban bird shit at your house when you live next to the yard with a dozen bird feeders.

Yeah. It doesn't help that NJ made fireworks legal, so now we get neighbors setting off the big ones you can see a town away.

Hopefully the street fireworks end by 11 PM, because last year there were loud pops until 2 AM.

I'm trying to get K to go swimming but it's July 4th and his least favorite day. If I get him out, we'll have to return by 7 PM or the first loud firework he hears to bunker down in the living room with ear defenders.

Car has gas, I just dumped 4 quarts of oil in, added brake fluid, and washer fluid. Waiting for the car to cool another 15-20 minutes before I add coolant. It's in desperate need of an oil change, but this is what I can afford to do right now.

Between waiting for the transfer and July 4th, I'll be able to go Friday or Saturday. It's very hard having to wait.

Agent K loved The Lorax and all the songs, bopping around in his seat. We watched all the trailers and he's decided he wants to see: Moana 2, Wild Robot, and Despicable Me 4.

When Democrats fantasize about unopposed power, they talk about giving everyone healthcare, education, childcare, civil rights, and a clean environment. When Republicans fantasize about unopposed power, they talk about killing literally everyone on earth. They are not the same.
