    My poor old dog had surgery today

    My buddy had a 2 pound mass removed from his shoulder today. For a 15 year old dog he did good. He is a sore puppy right now. I'm taking a day off from work tomorrow to help him in and out of the house. Rest and relaxation is what he needs now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A Campaign to Put a Woman on the Twenty-Dollar Bill

    I don't know and maybe because I'm in the Washington, DC area but my wife and I are both managers in large companies. My wife makes about $20 K more per year than I do. I don't want to start a debate or steal the thread but to my mind that's like playing the race card. Nuff Said, back to women...

    What if man never evolved on earth?

    Man didn't evolve for millions of years. Something must not have been going right so man did evolve. When that goes too wrong we'll become extinct also. I think I'll make it through though.

    A Campaign to Put a Woman on the Twenty-Dollar Bill

    The twenty $ bill is already taken. I think we should put either Hillary Clinton or Nancy Pelosi on the $3.00 bill.

    What was the last movie you watched?

    Exodus with with Christian Bale. It was quite good and more in line with the bible. Definitely not the Charlton Heston version.

    Stop Calling Children’s Gun Deaths “Accidental

    Y'all know how pro gun I am but if you are not carrying your gun it needs to be unloaded and locked up. The only exception I would grant is a loaded gun by the bed at night, within reach in case of emergency. Then you either put it on or unload and lock it up. These people that leave dangerous...

    Beltone HA

    I've read different thoughts on Beltone. Granted I don't have much experience with HA's but the service I've had since 2012 has been outstanding. On my last visit to the office I voiced some concern about difficulty hearing and we discussed custom ear molds. I was told I get them free and to try...

    Pissed about your audie, hearing aid or CI? Tell us!

    I doubt that very much 1) because my ENT and audiologist ALWAYS comment on how clean my ear canals are. 2) if the HA is cooled down it would come back to life. But it has stopped doing that now also. My brother who works with computers thinks it might be a cold solder connection in the...

    Pissed about your audie, hearing aid or CI? Tell us!

    I just got custom ear molds for my Beltone True 17's. I don't know if there's a correlation between the molds and the failure of the right and sometimes the left. But the right in particular has lost all its volume. When I shut the battery door on the left one it goes DING and the right just...

    How to say no to a biting cat

    I have 2 cats and 3 dogs but I will NOT abide any pet that bites maliciously to family and guests. There is a remedy for such behavior. Sorry that's just how I feel. BTDT. There's too many good animals that need a home.

    What did you learn today?

    I've learned that wearing a tag on my work frock saying "Hearing Impaired" that many customers will actually take the initiative to look at you and make it plain as to what they want/need. I had one customer ask me if I knew ASL and we did a little signing today. What a pleasure that was! I...

    Got my ear molds today

    Haha, yeah it is good to hear [emoji2] I did a quick test on a land line phone. It's odd holding the ear piece on top and behind the ear. Also having to remember to activate the program is different.

    Got my ear molds today

    Just got the ear molds this morning. I had the t-coil activated also. So far they are WAY MORE comfortable than the cups. Also it seem to helps hear conversation better though my own voice is LOUDER. I haven't had an opportunity to use a land line phone but the Phone Link works very well.

    Phonak, Oticon, Widex, Siemens, GN ReSound, etc. How are they all different?

    So are you saying you tried them and didn't like them? Yeah, my mom had bought Miracle Ear as her first set. She said they were horrible. She seemed to like her Beltone's though. Her and my brother both have HA's from Hearing Planet now.

    Phonak, Oticon, Widex, Siemens, GN ReSound, etc. How are they all different?

    Yes I saw that too. Now I just have to find out what brand to try next. I'm leaning toward Widex but I want a consensus of brands. I went to Beltone because of the popular name and they are very close to my house. I have no complaints with them but also no comparison.

    Phonak, Oticon, Widex, Siemens, GN ReSound, etc. How are they all different?

    I've been to 3 different audiologist. 1) from my ENT, 1) audiologist separate practice and 1) at my Beltone office. All 3 preformed the same exact testing, all with the same results. My ENT sent me for an MRI to be sure there was no physical anomaly. This would lead me to believe that my Beltone...
