#CochlearImplant

[skys-archive]

I'm working on a masterlist of picrews with disability aids, let me know if you want to be tagged! Right now I'm doing some for hearing aids/cochlear, wheelchairs, canes, and crutches. If you have more aids you want to see, let me know that too!

EDIT: so far I'm also adding breathing tubes, feeding tubes, and prosthetics!

Another polyglot of a podcast from the Worldwide Headquarters where "we like to help writers write."

We discussed writing comfort zones and how writers like to stick to familiar troupes and character because they over a rich source of inspiration. John Grisham and his love for the Deep South is specifically mentioned, as is my books of Nevada.

We push our own buttons (again) of the complex subject of social media and the increasing amount of overhead dedicated to advertise our works, almost to the point where we have to sacrifice writing time in lieu of advertising. A difficult balance.

We wrap things up with a chat about dialogue and context, and we mention how people mostly listen to others to respond versus really listening to each other (it makes more sense in the podcast). We discuss some ideas on how writers can improve their dialogue in their books.

All this and more from the Podcast Where Production Values Go to Die. Literally. We hope you enjoy. Take care. ⁠ https://carsonhume.com/2023/03/19/dialogue-and-sm/

Bionic Ear

A Bionic Ear is an electronic device, sometimes known as a cochlear implant, that helps people with severe or profound hearing loss hear again by stimulating the auditory nerve. The industry that creates, sells, and distributes cochlear implants is known as the "bionic ear market," and it has been developing as a result of breakthroughs in technology, an increase in the prevalence of hearing loss, and more public knowledge of their advantages.

Pineal Guardian: Comprehensive Reviews and Insights

What is Pineal Guardian?

Pineal Guardian is a dietary supplement to support the pineal gland. It’s marketed to detoxify the gland, increase melatonin production and overall mental and spiritual well being. It’s formulated with natural ingredients that work together to protect and activate the pineal gland.

Pineal Gland: What is it?

Before we get into Pineal Guardian, you need to understand what the pineal gland does. The pineal gland produces melatonin, the sleep hormone. It also regulates reproductive hormones, mood and possibly even aging.

Besides its physical functions the pineal gland is also linked to spiritual experiences and higher states of consciousness. Some traditions call it the "seat of the soul" and believe that an activated and healthy pineal gland will give you more intuition, creativity and spiritual insight.

Ingredients in Pineal Guardian

Ingredients are everything in a supplement. Pineal Guardian has a blend of vitamins, minerals, herbs and other natural compounds that support pineal gland health. Here are some of the ingredients:

Iodine: Iodine is for thyroid function and some believe it can help detox the pineal gland by removing fluoride which is thought to calcify and shut down the gland.

Chlorella: A type of algae rich in chlorophyll, chlorella is known for its detox properties. It may help remove heavy metals and toxins from the body and support pineal gland health.

Turmeric: Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Its active compound curcumin is thought to have neuroprotective properties that can benefit the pineal gland.

Boron: Boron is a trace mineral that can remove fluoride from the body and support the detoxification and function of the pineal gland.

Ginkgo Biloba: Known to enhance cognitive function and blood circulation, Ginkgo Biloba may support mental clarity and overall brain health.

Melatonin: As the primary hormone produced by the pineal gland, supplementing with melatonin can directly affect sleep patterns and support the gland’s function.

Benefits of Pineal Guardian

The benefits of Pineal Guardian are from the ingredients and how they affect the pineal gland and overall health. Here are some of the benefits:

Better Sleep: With melatonin as an ingredient, Pineal Guardian may regulate sleep wake cycles and improve sleep quality and overall restfulness.

Detoxification: Ingredients like chlorella, spirulina and boron can remove toxins and heavy metals from the body and support pineal gland detox.

Mental Clarity and Focus: Ingredients like Ginkgo Biloba and Ashwagandha may enhance cognitive function, mental clarity and focus and overall brain health.

Spiritual Awareness: (More subjective) Some users report higher spiritual awareness and intuition which they attribute to the activation of the pineal gland.

How I do my job and accommodate my disabilities.

So, I have the best job in the world. I'm a fossil tour guide and basically walk around the beach with people talking incessantly about my special interest and they are actually interested and pay (extremely good) money for it. I'm living the dream guys!

As awesome as my job is, there are a few challenges due to my disabilities. Luckily, I have found ways to accommodate myself so both me and the customers all have a great time. I've decided to split this list up by disability rather than by different aspects of the job so if you have one of the disabilities that I mention you can just look at the bit that is relavent to you to see if any of the things that are helpful to me are helpful to you. If you have any other suggestions of different things to try, please put it in the comments!

Autism:

To be honest, the palaeontology field is full of autistic people so I really don't stand out. When people book a fossil tour, they expect the tour guide to be a little quirky, so I do have a bit of leeway for seeming socially awkward without too much judgement.

I don't really pick up the hint that someone isn't having fun any more, so when the weather is bad I make sure to tell people at the beginning of the tour "I know it's really (insert unpleasant weather situation here) today, so if at any time this stops being fun for you, we can always head back early, just please directly tell me 'I'm not having fun any more, can we go?' because I'm not great at picking up hints." If the family are from the UK, I sometimes make a joke about them not being my hostages, but I avoid this with foreign families because that kind of humour doesn't always land well with other cultures.

I have visual materials to help keep my talks on track and to better explain the points that I'm trying to make. I also keep my initial talk pretty similar every time so I don't have to think of the words off the top of my head every time.

I make sure I give clear factual answers to questions that give both the technical terms and a simplification to all age groups e.g."That is a fossil echinoid which is the scientific name for a sea urchin." This avoids having to guess the person's level of prior knowledge and avoids me being overly technical or coming across patronising.

I try to limit my work to around 3 hours per day to avoid getting overstimulated.

Deafness:

I always make sure to tell people about my deafness right at the start of the tour and tell them how to accommodate me. I try to make it lighthearted I'll say it like "Just so you know I'm Deaf which means I can't hear well. If I look like I'm ignoring you, I'm not, I just can't hear you. Please tap me or wave at me to get my attention and make sure to look at me when you're speaking so I can understand you." Some people just ignore the instructions, but at least then they know what they're supposed to be doing, and it normally works out okay.

I have a cochlear implant which helps me a lot, but is vulnerable to wet and windy weather. I use EarGear covers on my processor to block out the wind noise and to protect it from moisture. It works pretty well, but isn't perfect.

I probably would benefit from an interpreter, however my work schedule is pretty flexible and often there are last minute bookings, also there aren't many interpreters near where I live so it would be virtually impossible to find one, so I make do without and it seems to be working okay for me.

Balance and Mobility (HSD and balance disorder):

Luckily my hypermobility is pretty mild so I'm able to weight bear fully on both legs and climb stairs etc.

If I'm going to be walking/standing for over 1 hour, I use knee supports to help prevent knee pain. I use the ones that are thin and elasticated tubes (kind of like a sock) rather than the velcro ones because they look more sleek and I find them more comfortable, also I only need fairly light support. I recommend using the lightest support that is reasonable for you to avoid weakening your joints. If you're not sure, speak to a professional.

I use an ergonomic backpack with padded straps and try and keep my kit as light as possible. I always make sure to carry it over both shoulders to avoid an uneven load on my body. I used to just use any old backpack and cram it full of examples of every single fossil you could ever find. Don't do that. You're not on SAS who dares wins.

Trekking poles. (In my opinion) The most underrated mobility/balance aid out there. Does it make me look like I think I'm scaling Everest? Yes. Does that fact make me feel ridiculous? Yes. Am I very grateful for them when I lose my footing on a pebble bank? Also yes. Most of the time I use one pole just for balance so I can keep a hand free, but I do have two, just in case. It also allows me to point at things without bending down so much which helps with my vertigo issues. If you are considering whether you could benefit from a mobility aid for your balance, especially if you're often on uneven surfaces, I would urge you to try trekking poles. You can use two at a time for extra support, they're gentler on your wrists than a crutch or cane and they come with the option of rubber or metal tips depending on the surface you're on.

Here is my relatively comprehensive guide to how I do my awesome job. If you have any questions or you would like to suggest something that you've found helpful, please leave a comment.

I’m thinking of getting a cochlear.

As we prepare for our new center, Priority Hearing is thrilled to announce the opening of our 24th center in Delhi-NCR. The team is working with full strength...we need your best wishes!!!

I still vividly remember visiting my dad right after he had his cochlear implants turned on for the first time. These were some of the things that baffled him:

The noise of opening the news paper. He snapped it open, looked at me with wide eyes and said, "That's really loud!"

Dog nails clicking on the hardwood floors. That one took him about three days to figure out.

Dishes clinking together while unloading the dishwasher. That really bothered him, and he never got used to how loud it was.

Here are some things I experienced as a hearing daughter of a deaf man at that same time:

I got teary when he told me he could tell the difference between my and my step-moms voice because mine is lower.

I nearly cried the first time I called out to get his attention and he looked right at me. That had never happened before.

After he died, I kept having these distinct little impressions that he was listening.

Once, while I was singing in church, I got the impression he was next to me, listening to me sing for the first time.

And for the first year or so after he died, whenever I heard anything especially beautiful, I'd ask him, "are you hearing this, dad? What do you think?" It was a really lovely part of my otherwise terrible grieving process to think about him hearing all sorts of things for the first time.

All is Well: Mixed Metaphors and Other Racket

My second cochlear implant was activated this afternoon and is serving up scrambled eggs with hot peppers. Meanwhile my first implant is dropping cool jazz. It’s going to be that way for a while. Discordant. There are worse things. I like scrambled eggs. Hot peppers not so much. Patience.
