    Rechargeable hearing aids???

    I have started seeing TV ads for rechargeable hearing aids. There seems to me to be a major problem with that idea in that you can't hear with them while recharging? Years ago I had some rechargeable 675 batteries that worked but ran down before the end of my day. It was inconvenient but in...

    Thanks for screens that show what you are ordering as you order

    Stopping at a couple of drive-thru ordering lines the other day reminded me of how thankful I am for the ones that have screens that show what you are ordering as you order. I am toooo hard of hearing to understand if they just read back what you order. It does make a difference where they are...

    Chose a mode of transportation???

    It looks like it is time to follow LoveBlue to the train. I have been seeing report after report of cancellations by airlines but NOTHING about train problems! Maybe LoveBlue can give us some hints about the most enjoyable way to take advantage of that!

    Segment on CBS Mornings about Parkinson's

    There was a segment about things being done for Parkinson's on CBS Mornings this morning (01-04-22) and it reminded me of the boxing program that Reba joined quite some time ago. A good deal of this one was about a dance program which seemed to me to be based on much the same idea. A boxing...

    Intrusive ad

    On the morning of Dec. 21, 2021 I opened All Deaf to a huge ad that I cannot get rid of. The problem is not that there is an ad at the very top of the page but that it is so, so large that it makes this site hard to use.

    New mask to help with muffling

    I was watching TV in bed before getting up this morning (Dec. 8, 2021) and a story came up on Channel 4 out of St. Louis about a new mask developed at SLU. A bit later I checked their web site and it was there. Here is the web site post about something I think might be good for general use as...

    Anyone made vegan recipe with non-vegan ingredients?

    Has anyone made a non-vegan version of what started out as a vegan recipe? For example cow's milk instead of vegan milk called for? I am not vegan but sometimes run across a recipe that looks good but have no desire to get the vegan version of something just for that one recipe.

    Old way to cope with allergy

    It occurred to me this morning some of us old timers may still have an old fashioned way of coping with allergy drainage! Do you still have some handkies, also known as handkerchiefs, around? If you run out of tissues, dig the hankies out and use them as being cloth they can be washed and reused.

    I have "The Talk" on on TV and they got to comparing how they are doing without their hair and makeup artists and how grateful they are for those peoples skills. Any comment about salons being closed anyone?

    Live Transcribe used for virtual church service

    I have been using Live Transcribe for what my Pastor and anyone else using a mic says during church services for some time. Something said by someone out in the congregation without a mic is not distinct enough for it to be picked up though. But yesterday I got to try something new! During...

    A new thing to grin about from TV captioning

    Watching local and news and one of the things that came up in the captioning was "wash hands with hope and water". It was quickly corrected to "soap and water". But it did give me a grin and I wanted to share it.

    Suggestions for best mic for Live Transcribe

    I have been using Live Transcribe from soon after it came out. I do like it and use it fairly regularly. It is great for my Pastor's voice (he uses a mic connected to thee regular sound system) but it does not want to pickup things said by members of the congregation (they do not have a mic)...

    Saw "Boxing for Parkinsons" story on TV

    I saw part of a story on Channel 5 out of St. Louis early this morning but was in the midst of getting ready so did not get all the details. It is the first time I have seen it on TV here. It got me to wondering if Reba is still able to do it. She seemed to find it soooo helpful earlier.

    Did any of you use captions on the CBS Special Report in the morning on 03-25-19?

    I had to laugh when the captions said Obstetrics & Gynecology where they intended obstruction of justice. It was very quickly changed but I, at least, got a good laugh before they did.
