When a just talk normal, my ear sounds like a broken speaker.Kelly wrote:It's probably hard to explain, but what kinds of things are you having to do differently when you speak? Sounds like hard work - but you're used to that - so keep at it - and hopefully the results will be evident soon!!

A new hearing aid that transmits sound through a person's teeth has been approved for use in Europe.
While conventional hearing aids use air conduction to increase the volume of sound travelling through the air, SoundBite uses a different approach - bone conduction.
First, a network of mini microphones placed behind the impaired ear pick up the sound in the environment and cancel out the noise.
The sound is transmitted wirelessly to the prosthetic in the mouth.
The device sends the vibrations through the teeth and bones directly to the cochlea - the auditory part of the inner ear - bypassing the middle and outer ear.
This way it can help those who are deaf in one ear to hear in stereo.
The company that makes the system, Sonitus Medical, said that the mechanism is the first ever non-surgical device to use bone conduction

I am strong, because I've been weak.
I am fearless, because I've been afraid.
I am wise, because I've been foolish.

I've been trying to find the video from the famous Lucille Ball interview where she claimed to have picked up a radio station through the fillings in her teeth, but I can't find it! It was the first thing that I thought of when I read that article.

I realized this cool trick over the weekend. My equilibrium is still screwed up from time to time, so I can get dizzy when climbing or much easier when on rollercoasters and such, but this is totally new to me:
I can close my eyes and just imagine spinning around, open my eyes, and the room spins, and I feel like falling over. Really trippy! Oh... and I'm not drunk... so that's not it.
