    Are bowing heads required for lipreaders during meal blessing or prayers?

    Someone made a complaint about some, probably me, about not bowing heads, closing eyes, in a state/city funded senior center. They probably think its disrespect not bowing heads. I have a choice, lets vote: ---------------------------------------- 1- bow heads and not understand what's being...

    I'm picking up on large hearing aid providers who train their employees to lie purposefully to their customers.

    I enjoyed watching "Switched at Birth" on Netflix: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1758772/ One deaf guy wasn't too happy his deaf father got CI. There were mixed emotions on who gets one and who don't want one. This guy didn't want one cause he was happy being deaf. So , maybe here, someone is...

    I'm picking up on large hearing aid providers who train their employees to lie purposefully to their customers.

    I hope all doctors explains all risks to you. Laws were made to inform folks on the risks of drugs. Laws protects people that didn't know. Laws should be made to protect America from Trump's lies and that sort of things. You make you sound risk free. Maybe you should be informed accurately. I...

    Maybe I should look it up. Let see, together: "Cochlear implant surgery is a generally safe procedure. However, it presents potential risks, such as: bleeding swelling ringing in the ear (tinnitus) dizziness infection at surgery site dry mouth taste changes facial paralysis balance issues...

    I'm picking up on large hearing aid providers who train their employees to lie purposefully to their customers.

    I've maxed out for 60 years. I get along fine in maxed out mode. The problem with non audiologist is that there not many of those that use max out mode. some hearing aids includes power for that reason. Some are afraid to toy in the high power modes. Phonak target programmer app knows my hearing...

    I'm picking up on large hearing aid providers who train their employees to lie purposefully to their customers.

    some were told to lie that you need hearing aids when you don't . If one don't need hearing aids, tell them they need them. Audiologist get fired and replaced with hearing aid instruments specialists which is cheap and can easily be trained to lie for profit. profit comes first before customers...

    I'm picking up on large hearing aid providers who train their employees to lie purposefully to their customers.

    Some are fired for refusing to be dishonest putting customers first instead of the dollar. Does anyone know about such greedy practices? They even replace audiologists with newbies still under training who are told to click auto-adjust and tell them thats all you'll get and its impossible you...

    How do large hearing care services focus most on sales rather than customers needs?

    I think the problem stems from the Target programs which the inexperience use to program Phonak. They're trained to use auto feed back test which strips away so many valuable sounds. Most experienced audis don't use the auto feed back test. If you hear the testing beeps, you're screwed. Then...

    How do large hearing care services focus most on sales rather than customers needs?

    Many large profitable hearing aid providers has taken a higher risk to hire inexperienced instrument programmers. As the result my (and thousands of others) hearing aids never got programed right. If I say I used to hear the alarm beeps , they would say you're not supposed to hear those due to...

    CJ Jones: "What Is Wrong With Being Deaf?"

    Its like a cockroach saying, "What wrong with being a cockroach?" and the ants eat them anyway. Like Russia, they kill them anyway. I guess the devil said its wrong.

    How do large hearing care services focus most on sales rather than customers needs?

    I've talked to a few audiologist who were fired for refusing to do some sort of daily report on how or why they sold or didn't sell hearing aids. How does those reporting work? In what way does the "meet the criteria" get reported to meet the amount of sales goal? Note: to meet the sales goal is...

    Is it right for an audiologist to deny service cause they thought I bought my hearing aids from Internet?

    I talked to another audio, She, with a "how strange" face, said theres no such thing as losing a license for programming hearing aids bought on Internet. Thats how the criminal audiologist said, "no." So yes, she said no. Fees are fine. I am a candidate for CI but 60+ years as a HoH person doing...

    Is it right for an audiologist to deny service cause they thought I bought my hearing aids from Internet?

    That accusation came out of the blue cause I didn't say anything about where I got my hearing aids AT ALL . I wanted service near me cause I can't travel far to my hearing aid dealer. Perhaps that audio (was my former audio) thought I was too HoH (severe-profound, no profound nor...

    How do I not be an a$$hole?

    Balance is set in stone. How do you define good without the bad? Like religion, too much positivity that Jesus will cure your deafness and never happens. You become a Guinea pig for the charismatic when they say, Heal Heal heal ! and throw away your hearing aids and say you will hear. Yeah ...

    Matters arising from the Deaf & hearings relations.

    the symptoms of narcissism is "lack of empathy". That means he doesn't have a clue what love is. Instead he uses charm which he does best. Watch narcissism videos and you find many testimonies on those that left. You can marry me instead but let me warn you that I say, "huh?" a lot
