Tinnitus may be a phantom percept — when our brain activity makes us see, hear or smell things that aren't there. But that doesn’t make the annoying (or worse) condition any easier for those who suffer from it. @ScienceAlert shares recent research that may help us better understand tinnitus.

Help me mastodon!
Since apple maps changed names of things I would like to use a different map ap. But the thing I like best about apple maps is that it tactually does different iWatch buzzes for left and right and a few other things. Eg: my apple watch vibrates with unique patterns for turns. This is helpful due to my hearing loss and I dont miss turns anymore!

What map ap for iPhone has correct names for gulf of mexico, AND does unique vib alerts to the watch for turns?

This is how the #GOP treats Pete Hegseth's history of infidelity, spousal abuse, and rape.

Republicans do not care if Pete Hegseth is actually qualified to be Secretary of Defense (He is most definitely NOT), they will approve his nomination because Trump told them to, and they're afraid of Trump.

This is how #Tyranny takes over the USA. The GOP helps usher it in.

Ohio health insurance plans must now cover cost of kids' hearing aids after new law enacted

The law, known as Madeline’s Law, will require #health insurance to cover $2,500 per hearing aid, every four years—for patients under 22 years old. To qualify, a licensed professional must verify a patient is #deaf or #hearing impaired.

WCPO 9 Cincinnati · 'Families are excited' | Under new law, Ohio health insurance plans must cover cost of kids' hearing aidsBy Connor Steffen

Update on my hearing: my hearing is the best it has been for ages, thanks to me buying the hardware necessary to connect to the hearing aids and tweak them.

Yes, I did manage to lose all the settings that the audiologist had programmed in.

But it didn't matter because I have now sorted them, got my hearing back in my right ear, removed the horrible resonances and distortions.

I'm living the best hearing life.

I have written a blog post on "Earlids of the early 1900s," examining the way earlids were treated in that turn-of-century literature. Themes of concentration and unwanted sound, urban noise, that story about Edison's deafness, and some sense of the adaptive nature of forced hearing, plus a dose of luddite thinking: it was a fun romp!
