Nearly Invisible Ear Machine- A Discreet Solution To Hearing Loss

What do you think? Nearly invisible Ear machines just a fashion accessory or beyond?

Hearing loss has taken over billions of people across the Globe, leaving them dependent on ear machines. So the Hearing aid industry has developed different models as per the consumer's requirements. In a world where Protective gear like MASK became a fashion accessory and arrived in multiple variants, from Swarovski to prints, everything surrounded them—leaving the world amused.

Then why does your ear machine remain the same old-school solid-coloured?

Due to the appearance of Hearing aids, many people are hesitant to seek treatment. Fortunately, nearly invisible ear machines are at the rescue for them as it provides a discreet solution to hearing loss, allowing people to enjoy improved hearing quality without sacrificing appearance or comfort.

These ear machines come in various shapes and sizes; The widely used ones are as follows,

There are three main types of nearly invisible ear machines:

In-the-canal (ITC): ITC hearing aids fit partially into the ear canal, making them less noticeable than traditional behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids. They are suitable for people with mild to moderate hearing loss and offer some degree of customisation.

Completely-in-the-canal (CIC): CIC hearing aids are smaller and fit completely inside the ear canal, making them virtually invisible. They are suitable for people with mild to moderate hearing loss and offer a higher level of customisation than ITC hearing aids.

Invisible-in-the-canal (IIC): IIC hearing aids are the smallest and most discreet type of nearly invisible ear machine. They fit deep inside the ear canal, making them virtually invisible. They are suitable for people with mild to moderate hearing loss and offer a high level of customisation.

How Nearly Invisible Hearing Machines Manufactured?

Now you might be wondering how these Ear Machines are made, though the process may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer; however, sharing the generic procedure of their preparation.

Nearly invisible ear machines are made using advanced technology that allows them to be custom-fitted to the individual wearer's ear canal. Here's how they are made and how they function:

Impression: An audiologist or hearing specialist will take an impression of the wearer's ear canal using a soft silicone material. This impression is used to create a mould of the ear canal.

3D Printing: The mould is then used to create a 3D model of the ear canal, which is used to design and manufacture the custom hearing aid shell.

Component placement: The hearing aid's electronic components, including the microphone, speaker, and battery, are carefully placed inside the custom shell.

Programming: Once the hearing aid is assembled, it is programmed by the audiologist or hearing specialist to meet the wearer's specific hearing needs.

Insertion: The nearly invisible hearing aid is inserted directly into the ear canal, where it fits snugly and comfortably.

Functionally, nearly invisible ear machines work in a similar way to other hearing aids. They amplify sound waves and convert them into electrical signals transmitted to the wearer's ear canal. The microphones in the hearing aid pick up sound waves, which are then processed by the hearing aid's circuit to amplify specific frequencies and reduce background noise. The amplified sound is then delivered to the wearer's ear via a speaker inside the hearing aid shell.

Why is there a Shift toward Nearly Invisible Ear Machines from Traditional Ear Machines?

One of the most significant advantages of nearly invisible ear machines is their discreet appearance. Many people with hearing loss are hesitant to wear traditional hearing aids because they are visible and may be perceived as a sign of weakness or ageing. Nearly invisible ear machines eliminate this concern, allowing people to enjoy improved hearing without drawing attention to their ears.

In addition, to their discreet appearance, nearly invisible ear machines offer improved comfort compared to traditional hearing aids. Because they fit inside the ear canal, they are less likely to cause discomfort or irritation. Additionally, their small size means they are less likely to be affected by wind or other environmental factors.

Finally, nearly invisible ear machines are easy to use and can be customised to fit each person's unique needs. They can be programmed to amplify specific frequencies or filter out background noise, and they can be adjusted to accommodate changes in hearing over time.

The industry impact of this shift is enormous and can be analysed by considering the following facts :

Nearly Invisible ear machines were first introduced by Phonak company in the year 2010, disrupting the market of hearing aids. With technological advancement, they have recently launched a waterproof, rechargeable version of a hearing aid. Showing that the hearing aid industry is growing at a rapid pace. Also, the research report concluded that the global hearing aid market size was attributed to USD 10.6 billion in 2022, according to a report by Grand View Research. The market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9% from 2023 to 2030.

The growth of the hearing aid market can be attributed to factors such as the increasing prevalence of hearing loss, a growing ageing population, and advancements in hearing aid technology. In addition, the rising demand for invisible hearing aids, such as "invisible-in-the-canal" (IIC) devices, is expected to drive the market's growth further.

The report also notes that behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids held the largest market share in 2020, while in-the-ear (ITE) and IIC hearing aids are expected to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period. This growth is due to the increasing popularity of more discreet hearing aids that offer a comfortable fit and advanced technology.

Overall, the hearing aid market is expected to continue to grow as the population ages and demand for hearing aid solutions increases.

Factors to Consider while Choosing a Nearly Invisible Ear Machine

When choosing the nearly invisible type of ear machine, several factors must be considered. These include the severity and type of hearing loss, lifestyle factors, budget, and consultation with a hearing care professional.

People with severe or profound hearing loss may not be suitable candidates for nearly invisible ear machines, as they may require more powerful amplification. Additionally, the hearing loss type may affect the kind of ear machine most appropriate for the individual.

Lifestyle factors such as job requirements, hobbies, and social activities may also influence the choice of nearly invisible ear machines. For example, people who work in noisy environments may benefit from ear machines that offer noise reduction or suppression features.

Luxury comes with cost hence the budget is also an essential factor when choosing, as nearly invisible ear machines tend to be more expensive than traditional hearing aids. However, many people find that the improved comfort and fashion statement are worth the extra cost.

Consultation with a hearing care professional is essential when choosing nearly invisible ear machines. A professional can evaluate hearing loss, recommend the most appropriate type of ear machine, and provide guidance on how to use and care for the ear machine.

You may also consider consulting with Amplfon’s Audiologists and getting an assessment of your hearing loss and recommendation upon the suitable ear machine tailored to your needs.

However, most audiologists do not recommend nearly invisible ear machines as the best solution, but the audience is too sceptical about their appearance hence industry had to find a solution for them.

Considering the fact that these machines are expensive and a fashion statement, taking care of them is utterly essential to maintain their quality and hygiene.

How to Care for and Maintain Nearly Invisible Ear Machines?

Proper care and maintenance of nearly invisible ear machines are essential to ensure they continue to function effectively.

Here are some tips for maintaining ear machines well:

Clean the ear machines daily with a soft, dry cloth or a special cleaning tool the manufacturer provides.

Avoid using water or harsh chemicals to clean the ear machines, as this can damage the delicate components.

Store the ear machines in a dry, cool place when not in use.

Replace the batteries regularly, following the manufacturer's recommendations.

Be careful while removing and using it, as tiny elements may get detached or damaged.

Get them assessed by audiologists to ensure they are meeting your requirements at the stage you are on, as most of them are customisable.

Conclusion

Nearly invisible ear machines offer a discreet and effective solution to hearing loss, allowing people to enjoy improved hearing without sacrificing appearance or comfort. Proper care and maintenance of ear machines are also crucial to ensure they continue to function effectively. If you are experiencing hearing loss, consult a hearing care professional to explore your options and find a solution that meets your unique needs.

Also, all audiologists do not universally endorse the recommendation of nearly invisible ear machines as a solution for hearing loss. However, the decision to use nearly invisible ear machines versus traditional hearing aids should be made on an individual basis after careful consideration of the individual's hearing needs, lifestyle, budget, and consultation with a qualified hearing care professional.

Hi! Can I request headcanons for how the TWST third years would react to male Yuu!reader rolling up to their dorm in a crop top and booty shorts, holding a laundry basket and being like "Ay yo, my laundromat's busted. Can I use yours?" (With said third years having a crush on the reader?)

Male Reader wearing a crop top and booty shorts in front of the third years

Characters: Lilia, Malleus, India, Leona, (couldn’t do all of them bc i got tired sorry :[

Warnings: suggestive, not much else

Lilia

You walked over to the Daisomnia dorm knocking before the door opened on its own, surprising you for a second. You walked in slowly carrying your basket of clothing and some blankets before something suddenly dropped down directly in front of you. “OH WHAT THE FUCK-” you shreiked dropping the basket before hearing a familiar laugh “Hee hee Kee hee hee”. Lillia hopped down in front of you giggling before looking up eyes widening as he began to smirk.

“Lilia you damn near gave me a heart attack PLEASE never do that again” you panted holding your chest. “I make no promises dear, but do tell what’s with the outfit” he smiled, staring you up and down. “Oh that, the laundry at Ramshackle is busted and I was wondering if I could wash this here” you picked up the laundry basket holding it. “Oh?” Lilia smiled “Come then although i’m not too sure if i'll be keeping my hands to myself” he smirked as you sighed while he brought you to the laundry room with an arm around your waist.

Malleus

A knocking sound was heard from the daisomnia dorm's door, which in turn caused its intimidating dorm head to face the door. At the time Lilia had taken Sebek and Silver out to get sweets from a shop he heard about online saying something about “All the kids are talking about this epic shop-” or something of the sort that caused silver to internally cringe while Sebek yelled about how “they must see it at once”. Malleus sat in his room, after hearing the knocking he stood up and opened the door. You stood looking up at him, originally he’d planned to greet you as usual, that was until he looked down at your clothing.

“Child of man how come you’ve appeared to me toni-” he cut himself off after looking down breathlessly. You wore a short crop top and shorts that tightly hugged your skin, to Malleus it felt sinful to even look at. Malleus’s face heated up as his normally cold expression melted away, leaving his fists clenched and eyes wide ‘was it hot or was it just him?’. “C-Child of man I’m not quite sure If your choice of clothing is appropriate for tonight's weather, it’s quite cold right now” he said trying to regain composure although the blush on his sharply pointed ears said otherwise.

“Oh hello Malleus. My washing machine and dryer are kinda busted, so I was wondering if you’d lend me yours for a bit” you said smiling as if unaware of the effect you had on him. He took a second to process before letting you inside and leading you to the laundry room. Although the entire time he was trying to be polite you could feel his dreamlike gaze on you.

Idia

Ortho knocked on his brother’s door, who didn’t respond so he opened it. “Idia!” he said, alerting his brother who nearly slipped and fell out of his gaming chair. “A-ah Ortho I’m kind of in the middle of a match right now what do you-” he cut himself off after seeing the prefect walk in next to him. His jaw dropped while his hair burst into pink flames, his controller slipping out of his hands.

“Y-YOU, i-i what are you doing here” he said loudly, his voice becoming shaky and quiet after the first word. “Well if you opened the door you would've known, His washer and dryer is broken so I offered to let him use ours we just came over to tell you” Ortho said informing his brother of the situation. “W-Whatever just get that normie out of my room” he said, face barely covered by his hand. After they left Idia crossed his legs embarrassingly hiding his hard on, the way those shorts hugged your thighs and oh god when you turned around, shit he needed to grab a tissue.

Leona

Leona heard someone walking into the room where he was lounging and he looked up, it was (Name) wearing some well fitting clothing, he raised an eyebrow. “Herbivore, what are you doing here? Did you pay Ruggie to let you in again” he said in a bit of an annoyed tone but his eyes said something different. “No, I was just here to wash my clothing because Ramshackles' shitty washing machine and dryer broke. I told Crowley to buy new ones but he just had to act like that was a world ending request” you sighed and Leona looked unsurprised.

“Do as you will I guess but don’t take too long” he snarled, and you looked at him “ok big guy I'll only be here as long as it takes to wash and dry this stuff” you sighed and walked out unaware of Leona sharply eyeing your ass.

Authors note: I'm gonna work on some pretty pictures of the characters i write for so my layout looks cool!

Dark Blue Moon and the Suffering Sun Chapter 32

MASTAPOST

Samson S. Skulker. Wealthy real estate owner, noted trophy hunter. Been on safaris in Botswana, Indonesia, India, and other countries taking big game. Guy hunted just about everything. Elephants, rhinos, tigers, elk, only to come to Elmerton Bay, just an hour away by boat from Amity Island.

It didn’t take two brain cells to figure out why. The better question was why Phantom tried to point webbed fingers at him as to the whereabouts of Danny Fenton, a move that was transparently (goddammit Dick and your puns) a lie, according to Bruce. Tim Drake slipped into the man’s more private records without even trying.

Of course, getting the data out and parsing what it meant were two very different things. But he wasn’t trained by Batman for nothing. Skulker did make cursory attempts at hiding his electronic paper trail, but cursory was absolutely not enough to keep 13-year-old Tim out, let alone his current self.

Firstly, the man absolutely hunted more exotic, more illegal creatures. That much was clear. Borrowing some of Barbara’s programmes, Tim found the man travelling to much more remote countries. His little vacations coincided with missing persons reports around the same time.

Missing metas, to be exact. Each person with a power set dangerous to themselves and others. Each person having disappeared without a trace and then never to be found again. The picture Tim was building was getting grimmer.

Secondly, the man was buying parts. Robotics parts, to be exact. Engines, weapons systems, hydraulics. Many of them sourced from Vladco, the company founded by Vlad Masters, an old college friend of Jack and Maddie Fenton, who were the parents to the missing teenager of Tim’s current case.

But Danny Fenton did not have the meta-gene, a fact Tim confirmed after yet another concerning breach of privacy. He filed that detail away for later investigating.

Tim pressed a key, letting his programmes run while he got a coffee. Oh sweet delicious coffee. He had once distilled almost pure caffeine into a syrup. It was the most horrible thing he’d tasted in his life, but the buzz kept him up all night, that was until his heart started giving out. That was less enjoyable.

What was also less enjoyable was the revving motorcycle heading into the Batcave. Two motorcycles, in fact. Just as Tim’s afternoon was looking to be peaceful and quiet.

“Don’t fucking give me that, Dickwing!” Jason called out.

“I’m fine, Jay, maybe you need to stop hovering over me like some mama bear.” Dick put down his helmet with maybe a little too much force.

Jason hopped off his own bike. “That’s bullshit and even Timbit knows it.”

Tim shrunk into the Batcomputer’s chair. He so did not want to be a part of this. He just waited for his older brothers to carry their argument out of earshot, like they had been doing regularly now. The men traded strong words with every footstep across the cave.

“Maybe I’m just a little high strung. It’s honestly nothing.”

“You literally cannot fucking say that when I saw you going full-ass Punisher five minutes ago. Like the traffickers yesterday were one thing. Those guys suck. This dude was literally just a mugger. Are you going out of your fucking mind?”

“Jason, I thought you were supposed to be the one who’s all for going full Punisher style?”

Jason groaned loudly, and then transitioned into a frustrated scream. “Do you even hear yourself?!”

The changing room door slammed shut.

That was the second argument in the last two days. If you told Tim that Mr Heads-in-a-Duffle would be lecturing the Golden Child over excessive force, he’d start working on a machine to send you back to the topsy-turvy alternate dimension you’d come from, but apparently his dimension was the topsy-turvy one the whole time. And he hated it.

Turns out Dick inherited more from Bruce than he liked to admit, including his awful coping mechanisms. And to be honest, he was way too tired to even begin to breach this subject.

He should be happy that his literal attempted murderer was going to be out of his hair for a good while, maybe even forever. But even entertaining the thought made him sick enough to avoid the topic in his head for hours, only to think about it again, and get himself sick again.

So back to Skulker it was. Joy.

It turned out his new friend Skulker had made himself a fucking Iron Man rip-off suit, capable of flight, diving, and packed to the gills with fuck-you bazookas, machine guns, and hydroplasm weapons. Hydroplasm guns that he’d sourced from the Fentons themselves, through a long and complicated chain of buyoffs.

And happy day, the man was kind enough to install cameras and microphones, and kept logs from both.

In a surprising twist, it was fiendishly difficult to hack into those logs. Tim was honestly beginning to sweat. He suspected Skulker’s friends at Vladco (namely Vlad Masters, the sleezeball. Tim never liked him at galas and this only cemented his low opinion) had some secrets that they didn’t want out.

No matter, it was only a matter of time. Tim continued typing.

And typing.

What the hell was this firewall?! Tim pinched his arm just to make sure this wasn’t a sleep-deprivation hallucination. He could’ve sworn he’d gotten through that layer of security. It was like it was shifting itself to cover up his progress and force him to start over. Almost like it was alive.

Against the thunderous backdrop of his brothers’ clashing voices, Tim set himself on overdrive. If he could just act faster than it could correct itself, then maybe, maybe.

A plain error message informed him of the results long after he’d already seen them. Tim kicked the table for good measure. The only thing he could extract was two frames of video footage. They showed, respectively, a T-shirt and pair of sneakers that matched what one of the missing metas was wearing when they were last seen.

Was it damning evidence? Absolutely. But it also proved to him absolutely nothing that he wasn’t already suspecting, nothing that could point him in a new direction. Still, it made his stomach churn. He hoped those people would get a better second chance beyond the grave.

Maybe the fact that the data was this well-hidden at all proved something.

The locker room door swung open, his brothers in civvies and glaring at each other, trying to appear civil in front of (right behind) Tim, even though they’d literally just been shouting at each other ten minutes ago.

“Timmy!” Dick called out. “How long have you been awake?”

Tim gestured offhanded to his pile of only two used mugs. “Not long enough. I’m still working. Can you take it upstairs please?”

Jason huffed, and stalked off upstairs without a word, probably too disgusted to be in his and Dick’s presence much longer.

Dick clasped his hands. “It’s fine, Tim. Honestly. Jason and I are just having a little, err, disagreement, is all.”

“Hm.” Tim inputted another set of commands. He was starting to see why Bruce liked to say that now. Avoiding painful emotions felt so good. Dick made a pained noise.

“Well, ok. I’m just gonna head back to Bludhaven now. Say hi to Alfred for me! And contact me if you need anything!” And then he sped off.

Tim shook off the awkwardness like old clothes. Thank goodness for some peace and quiet again. Maybe that was why he was working so hard to help Bruce get the demon child back, so he could return to the status quo, and not this. This hell reality where Dick was as emotionally constipated as Bruce and Jason was the one acting as the voice of reason.

The first night when Bruce called home, the entire family was in an uproar. Dick got a pale look on his face, and was halfway about to take the Batplane and go searching for Damian himself, only for Bruce to remind him that they were all still needed in Gotham and Bludhaven, and whatever few leads there were, Bruce would pursue. It was effortlessly logical, but it was clear Dick hated it. He stormed off in a rage that Tim had only seen when Ethiopia was fresh, when he and Bruce were at their lowest.

And Jason? He got this look on his face that he’d never, ever seen before. Tim had laid awake one night just contemplating it for ages.

Actually, no. He had seen it once before. It was Tim caught Jason looking into what Bruce was doing in the months after Ethiopia. Tim had subtly hacked the phone camera, and the look Jason had then was the same as how he looked when Damian was declared missing.

Tim shook his head. It was a gruesome image, what Bruce had sent them. Damian’s clothes ripped to shreds. The ground stained with his blood. No body in sight.

A little brother who may or may not be dead, something he may or may not be glad or sick to his stomach about. Brothers who were acting like completely different people, and a monster of a man who had to be connected somehow.

A ping appeared in the corner of the screen. The government siren hunting branch appearing in Panama?

Sam Manson sat up in her bed, her body finding some way to release the dread and tension. She looked on at her phone in horror and macabre fascination in equal parts.

This had Danny written all over it. She didn’t even need to hear the anchor confirming it to know.

On the one hand, she really wanted to applaud him for fucking them up this bad. The comment section was ripping into the GiW for their actions in Panama, treating the country like it was some vassal state they could romp around in. She personally screenshotted the fucking beautiful mass car crash the GiW had gotten into trying to catch him, and saved it into her favourites folder.

On the other hand, she really wanted to slap him for fucking up this bad. This could’ve easily gone wrong. Danny what were you thinking?! They could’ve got him that time!

And finally, she wanted to yell in frustration, because they had a radio communicator there. Goddammit! If only Tucker had known, they he could’ve hacked in and they could’ve talked to their best friend and actually got an update on what the fuck was going on.

And finally, finally for real, she was so glad, because the GiW would’ve announced it on every news channel if they’d actually managed to catch him. Thank fucking goodness.

Ugh, this headache. She really needed to lie down again.

Knock, knock knock knock knock, knock knock.

Dread pooled in her stomach. “Come in,” she said, resigned to her fate.

Grandma Ida, the person she least wanted to see right now, opened the door. She was the kind of woman who never carried herself very seriously, except for in matters of sorcery, and especially when warning Sam on the dangers of her craft. Dangers that Sam had ignored in order to go all out. Now she marched into Sam’s bedroom like an executioner.

Grandma stood at the foot of Sam’s bed, scanning her closely. “I knew I smelled tinged blood.” She went up to the side, and palmed Sam’s forehead. Her hand was freezing cold to the touch. “You should’ve called me immediately.”

Sam averted her eyes. She should’ve, but she didn’t.

Her parents never failed to get a rise out of her; she rejected their notions of female beauty and social etiquette in every way, their attempts to hook her up with Tim Drake-Wayne, then Damian Wayne, and she hadn’t cowed to them or submitted since she was ten. But with Grandma’s withering disapproval, she couldn’t feel more like a child if she tried.

“I’m sorry.” She whispered.

“I warned you many times of the risks, Sammy. You’re lucky to be here, and not in the hospital or worse.”

“I know.”

Sam moved to lie on her side, facing away from Granny. Granny had questioned her decision to fight alongside Danny, but allowed it under the condition that she did so safely, and turning your body into a popping water balloon, but with blood, was so not the definition of safe.

And Danny’s fate was still in question regardless. He wasn’t able to cross Panama, and who knows what Damian was doing. What if it was all for naught?

A hand was put on her shoulder. “Did you accomplish what you were set out to do?”

Sam nodded. “Yeah.”

“And was it worth it?” Yes. Absolutely yes. Danny bled every day for this god-forsaken town of ingrates. He’d bled for her mistake six months ago.

Granny seemed to understand her feelings. She nodded, and ruffled Sam’s hair, and the tension in Sam’s body drained away.

“Then I trust your judgement. Can you sit up? I’ve brought some more medicine for you.”

Sam pushed herself against the bunched-up pillows at the headboard. Her head spun from the motion, but she was never one to let her body’s limits confine her. “Thank you, Bubbe. I love you.”

Granny passed her a brew of herbal medicine, dozens of dried spices and mushrooms brewed together into a blackened sludge that felt like knives into your tongue, but which never failed to get her feeling better. It was a leg up from what big pharma tried to pedal for ten-fold the price.

Sam lifted up the mug to her face. And, oh yeah. Nothing like bitter liquid pain to help with a migraine. She let the hot tea flow over her taste buds, pathing them in cinnamon, star anise and a million other things.

She finished her tea in one satisfying gulp, running her tongue over her teeth and scratching out the lingering aftertaste. As she put the mug down, it revealed Grandma’s face hovering right in front of her. Sam yelped in shock. “Bubbe! You gave me a heart attack!”

Bubbe smiled devilishly. “So what did you do?”

Sam’s mouth gaped open. Leave it to her Grandma to almost kill her from emotional whiplash.

“Now come on, this is a monumental moment for a budding young sorceress like yourself. Why, when I was twenty-two, I used to run with some heroic types myself. We had all sorts of hijinks together.” Bubbe cackled and clasped her hands, eyes going wispy. “My friends got a heart attack when I pulled off my own hare-brained scheme to topple the evil overlord of the week’s central command. Hah!”

“What?!” Then Sam coughed, and lowered her volume. “What do you mean ‘heroic types.’ You just told me you went to some stuffy academy and eloped.”

Bubbe shrugged. “I did do that. Must have forgotten the extra stuff.”

Sam blinked.

She moved to sit beside Sam on the bed. “We got up to a lot of fun back in the day, and a lot of pain too. I did what I did to protect those I cared for. Did you, bubbeleh?”

She held Sam’s hand with a look that reminded her just how many years Grandma had lived, and how many adventures or stories she had yet to tell, how much heartache she’d had to endure to become the woman she was now. “I projected an illusion all the way off the coast of Panama. It hurt like nothing else in my entire life, but…” She paused. “We got Phantom out. He’s safe now, I think.”

Grandma Ida nodded solemnly, the kind of understanding that Sam craved from her parents every waking moment of her teenage career.

“I don’t want this to be a regular occurrence, ok?”

“Yes, I promise. This was an extreme circumstance.”

“Good. Now, are you well enough for some meditation? It would do well to keep your soul energy flowing.”

Ok, but you have to tell me what you got up to back in the day.”

Granny chuckled, and agreed to it. Sam kicked off her covers, letting her legs get some fresh air. She was probably pushing it, but she needed to recover as quickly as possible. Who knew when she would be needed again?

Maddie Fenton kneeled in the sand. Her hands clamped down on her gun. Her knees shook. Tears prickled in her goggles.

Her baby was right there. He was so close. So fucking close. She could almost touch him, even now.

And he ran away from her. And at first her heart shattered into a million pieces, just like it had when he’d come home after his first disappearance and flinched when she hugged him.

Then she realised. He was protecting her. Some metal menace was shooting at her defenseless son like it was some kind of sick game. The monster of a man had laid fucking landmines on a public beach.

It should’ve been her protecting him.

Bruce Wayne returned to her side, empty handed. They’d scoured this entire beach. Danny couldn’t have gone far, she had thought, only for their search to turn up with nothing.

That left only one option. That her enemy doubled back after fleeing, and snatched Danny up without either her or Bruce noticing. Maddie’s heart sank. She should’ve aimed for the head.

A name pinged in her mind. Phantom had whispered it to her. Skulker.

With nary but nod, she and Bruce mounted their jet skis again.

tagging @oiveyzmir, @shares-a-vest and anyone else who would like to participate, only if you want to!

a snippet from ‘the act’ i wrote from a few days ago, because i really need to write more of that asap. under the cut ⬇️

Eddie enters the living room, and the usually warm-toned lights have been replaced with an icy blue hue and disco ball lights. A karaoke machine stands on a raised level beside the small television, with Jason standing next to it. The speakers boom with the opening to that new song, Umbrella, by Rihanna and Jay-Z—or Jay-C, as Jason’s been calling himself—and he takes the microphone off Maddy.

And with Steve having his girls in rotation, she’s his “plus one” for the night. Maddy, who failed magnificently at singing Lady Marmalade. Even though she sounded like shit, Eddie smiles. It’s nice to see her having fun and not clinging to Steve’s arm like India and Nancy do.

He takes a seat on the sofa next to Tommy, and they both watch as a drunk Jason makes a fool of himself in front of everyone. And he- Jesus, he’s dedicated the song to Chrissy. All eyes are on her as he skips Jay-Z’s part and begins some shitty speech about their… their love?

“Chrissy, I love you, babe,” he says, slurring through the sentence.

“We broke up, like, aeons ago. Can’t you just let it go, Jason?”

Jason looks downcast at her words, attempting to plaster a smile on his face as he turns away from her and jumps back into the chorus. Tommy turns to Eddie, and it’s a struggle to hear what he’s saying over Jason’s singing—if you can even call it that. Something about fucking, marrying and killing. He hopes it’s only a game. But with the way Tommy’s been acting so sketchy… It might not just be a game.

“Okay, I’m bored as shit,” Tommy says, swinging his legs over Eddie’s so he’s pretty much sitting in his lap. “Fuck, marry, kill… Margaret, Richard or Henry.” Oh, you have got to be kidding me.

Prioritize Your Hearing Health - Why Invest in Hearing Aids?

Hearing Health – the most underrated yet crucial. Imagine a world without sound—the laughter of loved ones, the melodies of your favourite songs, or the lively conversations with friends. Everything can be cherished by listening only. Hearing is a fundamental sense that enriches our lives, so we often take it for granted.

In this article, we will discuss the significance of hearing Health and why investing in hearing aids is a wise decision.

Understanding the Impact of Hearing Loss:

Hearing loss affects millions worldwide, and its consequences are far beyond impaired hearing. Studies have highlighted that untreated hearing loss can lead to feelings of isolation, strained relationships, and even depression. Additionally, it can hinder job performance, communication abilities, and overall quality of life. It's a silent burden that affects individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Let's understand it more deeply:

Impact of hearing loss on Different Stages of Life:

Infancy and Childhood: Hearing loss in infants can significantly impact speech and language development. Early identification through newborn hearing screenings is crucial to address hearing issues promptly and prevent long-term consequences.

Adolescence and Young Adulthood: Untreated hearing loss during this stage can affect academic performance, social interactions, and career prospects. Young adults are becoming victims of Noise-induced hearing loss from exposure to loud music or occupational noise.

Middle Age and Beyond: Age-related hearing loss, known as presbycusis, becomes more prevalent during middle age. Hearing loss can lead to difficulties in professional settings, strained relationships, and decreased cognitive abilities.

Don't ignore your hearing health – Book Your Hearing Checkup Appointment.

Hearing loss is not just impacting individuals; it is affecting the entire world; here is what WHO says:

The Impact of Hearing Loss on the World

1. Global Prevalence of Hearing Loss:

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 430 million people worldwide experience hearing loss, which is approximately 5% of the global population.

It is estimated that by 2050, the number of people with disabling hearing loss will rise to over 700 million, making it one of the leading global health concerns.

2. Economic Impact:

The World Health Organization estimates that the annual global cost of unaddressed hearing loss exceeds $980 billion.

The economic burden includes healthcare costs, loss of productivity, reduced educational opportunities, and increased dependence on social welfare services.

3. Impact on Employment and Income:

Studies have concluded that individuals with untreated hearing loss experience reduced job opportunities and lower earning potential compared to those with normal hearing.

A Better Hearing Institute study found that hearing aids mitigated income loss by 90-100% for individuals with hearing loss.

4. Effects on Mental Health:

Untreated hearing loss can play a vital role in social isolation, depression, anxiety, and decreased overall well-being.

Research suggests that individuals with untreated hearing loss have an additional risk of developing cognitive decline and dementia.

5. Educational Challenges:

Children with untreated hearing loss often face difficulties in educational settings, leading to lower academic achievement and limited career prospects.

The World Health Organization estimates that over 34 million children worldwide have disabling hearing loss, impacting their access to education and future opportunities.

6. Noise-Induced Hearing Loss:

Noise-induced hearing loss is a significant concern, particularly in occupational settings and recreational activities.

The paper published on NCBI highlights that approximately 16% of adult hearing loss cases are attributed to occupational noise exposure.

7. Impact on Social Interactions and Relationships:

Hearing loss can strain interpersonal relationships, leading to communication breakdowns and feelings of isolation.

It may result in decreased participation in social activities and a diminished quality of life.

These statistics highlight the significant impact of hearing loss on individuals, societies, and economies worldwide. By understanding the magnitude of the problem, we can work towards increasing awareness, improving access to hearing healthcare, and prioritizing the importance of hearing Health on a global scale.

To deal with this Global concern first, we have to identify Early Symptoms of Hearing Loss:

Recognizing the early symptoms of hearing loss is essential to seek timely intervention and prevent further deterioration. Common symptoms include:

Difficulty in understanding conversations, especially in noisy environments.

Frequently asking others to repeat themselves.

Tuning up the volume of the TV or radio excessively.

Avoiding social gatherings or withdrawing from conversations.

Developing Tinnitus which is basically a ringing or buzzing sound in the ears.

Why Seeking Professional Help is advised?

If you experience any of the early symptoms stated above, it is essential to consult a healthcare professional or an audiologist. They can conduct a comprehensive hearing assessment to determine the degree of hearing loss and provide appropriate recommendations.

Preventive Measures for Hearing Health:

Safeguard your ears from excessive noise by using earplugs or earmuffs.

Maintain a healthy lifestyle, consider doing regular exercise and eating a balanced diet to promote overall well-being, including hearing Health.

Limit exposure to loud noises and use volume-limiting headphones or earbuds when listening to music or other audio.

How can Hearing Aids help you rescue?

The Advantages of Hearing Aids:

Hearing aids are remarkable devices designed to improve auditory experiences and bridge the gap caused by hearing loss. These sophisticated devices amplify sounds, making conversations more transparent and enhancing one's ability to hear various sounds in their environment.

Modern hearing aids are equipped with advanced features like noise reduction, directional microphones, and connectivity options, allowing users to connect wirelessly to smartphones, TVs, and other devices. They can be discreetly customized to fit comfortably in the ear or behind the ear, catering to individual preferences and needs.

Why should you invest in Good Quality Hearing Aids?

While some might hesitate due to the cost, investing in hearing aids is a decision that pays off in the long run. Consider the expenses associated with untreated hearing loss, such as missed job opportunities, strained relationships, and potential health complications.

By addressing hearing loss with hearing aids, individuals can avoid these costs and improve their overall well-being. Moreover, the emotional investment is invaluable—a world filled with sound brings back the joy of conversations, reconnects us with loved ones, and boosts self-esteem and confidence.

Choose Your Hearing Aid Wisely:

When considering hearing aids, it is crucial to seek professional guidance. An audiologist or hearing healthcare professional can conduct a comprehensive hearing assessment, evaluate the extent of hearing loss and recommend suitable options. The professional fitting ensures optimal performance and comfort, as hearing aids are adjusted based on individual needs. Ongoing support from experts helps address any concerns or adjustments needed along the journey.

Alternative Options and Considerations:

While hearing aids are a popular solution, alternative options such as assistive listening devices (ALDs) or cochlear implants may be recommended in specific cases. ALDs can assist in challenging listening environments, while cochlear implants are suitable for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss. It is important to understand individual needs and consult professionals for personalized recommendations.

Conclusion: Investing in hearing aids is a proactive step towards prioritizing your hearing health. By recognizing the impact of hearing loss and the benefits that hearing aids offer, we can regain the joy of hearing and improve our overall quality of life. Remember, your hearing is worth the investment. Take action today and seek professional help to rediscover the sounds that make life beautiful.
