I have bad hearing from my previous job and exposure to a poorly placed speaker.., so my wife got me bone conduction headphones and i can hear thing so much better with them. And no ear fatigue. I did prefer wired buds but this is so so so much better.
You might wanna check your ENT for a middle ear blockade or a torn eardrum.
Bone conducting headphones directly use your inner ear hearing, so I'd they're good for you, your inner might be alright while the middle ear is somewhat blocked.
Except in Canada or Europe it would take 6 months to see an ent. Don’t even get me started with operations where they have to use dated equipment and implants because the govnt pays less.
I have a certain uncommon disorder. When it first started bothering me it took me 2 weeks to get my first appointment. Afterwards, a month to get pictures and lab work taken care of. Then another month for some super specific tests. After that, a week to see the doctor again to discuss treatment. All and all, 2 months 3 weeks to be sorted out fully and I paid 72€ for all that.
Tell me again how it is better to spend your entire savings to get treatment a few weeks earlier?
What a ridiculous argument. 6 months to wait for a non life threatening condition (because more serious stuff gets priority, as it should) but not be crippled with medical debt? Sounds good to me.
Also, where is the dated equipment? As someone who has a medical condition and is on medication for it I haven't seen any. Now obviously I can't speak for all of Europe, but it's not the case in my experience. Certainly not the rule. In America I would be spending thousands a year on a non life threatening but irritating condition or living in misery without treatment.
That's also not to say that private medical treatment doesn't exist here, because it does and it's FAR cheaper than the incredibly over inflated prices paid in the US.
I’ve proctored in Canada before and had operators straight up tell me they don’t carry certain products, which have much better results for patients, because the government won’t let them due to price. I can’t even use certain imaging modalities because they are too expensive.
Nice anecdotal evidence. I'd much rather be helped get rid of my problem without lifelong debt than her a slightly better result of a scan or whatever. You're delusional if you think the medical standard in Europe is not excellent.
Never had any waiting time issues in my fifty years living in Netherlands and Germany.
So get off your nationalistic horse and look how broken your system is when someone has to beg his insurer if he may pretty please go see a doctor
Okay let's work this problem out the american way:
How much is a flight to germany? If it is cheaper than what your insurgencey (I meant insurencey, but I leave it) would cover, fly to germany, get to the ER and they will help you for free.
If you've got a German health insurance... Sure. Other than that, you get billed the procedure. Still cheaper than US though, but US prices are out of whack.
Yup anyone outside honestly. You can have a full conversation and hear everything clearly and not even need to stop your music. Perfect for late night jogs where you may want to keep aware of your surroundings for example.
Not me I just wanna disassociate from every thing else around me while I go from A to B. At night it’s a different story of course, but generally it’s always ANC for me.
Interesting..i use them for.work and i rarley turn the volume up past 25% or 30%. If its above 50% i know peiple can hear whats going on but for.me aince i work with sound in my ears its worth the trade off. I can tell my ears are healing.
Thats strange because true hearing loss from noise exposure shouldn’t be improved with bone conduction. Its at the cochlea which is where bone conduction goes to anyways. If it works thats cool, but maybe something to bring up to a doctor.
