  1. I'm in the waiting space in my tattoo shop, and there's a kid here with their parent.. the kid is maybe 5 years old, and has bilateral hearing aids.

    They just looked at me and said "did you know bats hear better than me?"

    I told them bats also hear better than me, and they seem pretty chuffed by that.

    100% Hearing Mayham

    Do not buy the same brand (Signa) and model hearing aids
    Our hearing aids were connecting to each others computers and the company cell phone app and interfering, cross connecting and adjusting our devices!
    Apparently the company is unaware and "helpless" !!

    The $8,000.00 tech failure

  3. I've been messing about with computers for over 50 years but I still find it amazing that I can cycle along with a disembodied American voice in my ears (thanks to #Bluetooth #HearingAids) saying things like "in 200 meeders turn left". Still need to get used to the foibles of #OrganicMaps navigation though, such as treating a mini roundabout as a series of left turns.

  4. Hi everyone - thought I would do a quick one of these #introduction things! I'm George, I work in the gaming space handling paid social and general digital marketing for Frontier (Planet Zoo, Jurassic World Evolution 2, F1 Manager 2022, and more!). I'm profoundly deaf with a cochlear implant which restores a considerable amount of but my directional hearing is wack as I haven't gone bilateral.

    I'm here to meet new people and explore this exciting space, especially in the wake of recent Twitter events. I have three cats, an unhealthy paternal obsession with Grogu, and lucked out with both ADHD and autism ✌️
