Sounds you hear can be just as soothing to lull you to sleep.

No doubt, I often turn on the stereo to help me fall asleep.

Have a hearie friend that cannot go to sleep unless the TV is on...it's my understanding that most hearies can "tune out" noises when they are going to sleep. But some people must have noises at all times....

When my friend came over and told me her TV was broken and she could not sleep....asked me if she could borrow one of my small TV's temporarily?...I loaned her the TV...and later on, was thinking about it...and knowing that I enabled her somewhat....That's one of the reasons I don't allow my boys to have a TV or music on whenever they go to bed....

very very.

Yeah...some childhood habits are hard to break...I've yet to see an adult going around with a blanket and sucking his thumb tho'....

...And as far as a TV on while I'm trying to sleep...no way. I like it dark, the flickering of the TV would keep me awake.

I got this information from eHow

Types

There are two main types of cord blood banking: public and private. Public banks make cord blood available to any matching recipient and are usually free of cost to the donating family. However, they are often insufficiently funded and may not be available in all areas. As another disadvantage, the donating family becomes anonymous and will most likely not have access to their baby's cord blood if they do ever need it. Saving cord blood in a private bank can be useful for the particular family, but it can be expensive and may limit the amount of cord blood available in public banks for the recipients who need it most.

Misconceptions

Private cord blood banking companies often market their services as insurance, claiming that if children develop any of a number of medical conditions, their own cord blood can treat them. While this is true in some cases, many cord blood units already contain the same disease that the baby later develops and cannot be used for treatment. In most cases, the best chance for a cord blood transplant comes from a healthy sibling or family member or from a public bank.

Yeah, in the middle of the night you get these flashes of light whenever there is a lot of action on tv. Quite annoying. Enough to wake you up and "WFT?"

Anyway, even the soft drone of an airplane buzzing above high while lying on the grass on a nice day is quite soothing to listen to believe it or not. Certain environmental sounds are just plain soothing while others are annoying. Each person is different on what's soothing and what's not.

I can't believe what I just read elsewhere. You cannot test a baby's own cord blood stem cells on animals first to see if its safe.

It won't work because the baby's own cord blood stem cells are compatible only to the baby's and not on some animal.

Also, nothing wrong in wanting to hear a more natural sound than using a hearing aid. The closest thing would be the Esteem Envoy implantable hearing device. If people enjoy their hearing technology it's only natural that they seek better sound.
