People dictating who cannot pronounce the words
and do you notice when they are reading others have reported, you can tell they are reading word by word by word and yet half are ones they cannot even pronounce and stumbling all around. Ye Gads!
It's HIPAA and you pronounce it hip-uh.

How do you pronounce the acronym HIPPA?-nm

Salmon
I never leave the skin on salmon after a neat tip...get a flat pan...heat to hot...place salmon skin side down for 1 to 2 minutes or less...peel skin in its entirety completely off...and on that side add your favorite seasoning....mine...apricot or orange marmalade mixed with honey and and equal amounts of your favorite BBQ sauce.. enjoy!!
I assume it's Dutch (like his wife) but have no clue how to pronounce it. nm

Does anyone have a good recipe for salmon.
Something easy and quick.
Doctors pronounce incorrectly, especially when they are unfamiliar. It is Gemzar, I agree.

Grilled salmon, corn on the cob, chardonnay. nm
xx
Teriyaki salmon, corn on the cob, salad and strawberries...yum!
nm
Orientals, although they try harder to pronounce words correctly Give 'em a A for effort (nm)

How about grilled fish like salmon? Add a glass of wine and you're all set!
nm
grilled salmon and brown rice, Greek salad.

My important question is I bought salmon steaks and I am not sure how hot to make the heat on my gas
grill. Anyone can tell me this I would appreciate it. I will be cooking them in heavy duty aluminum foil with lemons and butter.
You can buy tuna in steak form, back where they sell the salmon, shrimp, and swordfish.

if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.
As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
HEARING
I have noticed a hearing change. But it is weird as my hearing is better in my right ear where I listen to the dictation. It is my LEFT ear that isn't so good anymore. I guess old age is catching up with me; unfortunately, in many ways, not just one !!
hearing
the latest buzz about hearing and earphones was more related to ear buds that fit in your ear, which puts it much closer to your tympanic membranes.
hearing
Have a hearing problem, anyone know if or where I can get a headset specifically for hearing deficit.
you should be hearing from them again soon.

hearing
Get your ears checked. Mine accumulate ear wax regularly and there is a huge difference when the wax is removed. Good luck!
Losing hearing
Does anybody else feel that over time their hearing has deteriorated due to the constant noise from wearing headphones?
hearing same from mine.
I have head the same from my 15 year old son who plays both competitive travel ice hockey and high school.
Last season he told me the same thing, he is burning out, hockey is 10 months on his travel team. We start in Sept and don't finish until end of Mar.
I just listened to his reasons why and then explained to him that if he wanted to stop the travel hockey because its just too much OK, but he should continue to play for his school. I explained to him that high school is such a short time in his life and to make the most fun of it. His friends and family that come to what him play are OK with his decision.
He thought about it for a while and just last week came started and he is now playing both. I asked him what changed. He just said he needed some down time and now he's ready to go. Thank God it a short season at this time. Aug to Nov and Nov to Feb.
Don't get to down on him, he may pick up some other sport he finds challenging.
PS - He also went out for track and field for his HS team.
hearing loss
Has anyone noticed a loss of hearing over years of MT work? A new report on the news says that continuous use of head sets can cause hearing loss. I have noticed it (and tinnitus) among me and my MT friends. Anyone else?
Hearing problems
I got of of this work because of the problems with hearing loss and tinnitus. It got so bad I was affecting my balance. I miss the work, keep up with the board, may do a little transcription, but not for long periods. I can not longer deal with it. I too am 45, but due to the hearing problems sometimes feel older. My hearing is flucutates. Had to purchase a hearing aid, the right one for my problem cost $2481.97 (for one) and the Insurance company did not pay one penny for it.
hearing loss
After 30 years in this job, yes my hearing is REAL bad! I'm going to start pricing hearing-aids this month, mightly only be able to afford one. Insurance companies - if they are generous might pay for one - if you work at GM I'm told. I'm certain this job has accelerated a natural aging phenomenon. I'm hoping to make it another 5 years. I can't interview for another line of work if I can't hear the interviewer!
I look forward to hearing more
...especially about satellite connectivity. That is my big issue at the moment. We have high-speed, business-grade satellite with Direcway, but some companies cannot work with this. Do you know if DRC can?
Wonder how many MTs have hearing problems sm
I notice on lots of these reports I have to crank up the volume to catch the nuances of crappy dictators with poor sound quality. Then there are the reports that are cranked up because the dictator is talking very softly, only to BONK! COME IN WITH A LOUD NOISE or adjusted volume on his end.
My concern is what this is going to do to my hearing over the long run. Anybody have ideas or similar concerns? Probably a study of MTs has never been done, but I bet it would show hearing loss.
I too have hearing problems.
I guess the little felt covers were irritating my ears as I would have many ear infections a year. 2 years ago I switched to earphones that go over my ears now, looks funky but no ear infections and sound is great. Take care
I'm so tired of hearing this.
I'm so tired of hearing MT's talk about how they're slaves to their jobs.Don't you think everyone's a slave to their job in every field.Do you think MT'g is the only career path that has so called slaves.Do you think there's any career out there a person can work where they won't be a slave of some sort????? I really get tired of hearing all the MTs cry their poor pitiful me tune, I'm such a slave. Please ... get over it. 
Hearing loss
Is there any new technology out there on improving hearing loss besides hearing aids? My DH has a herititary hearing loss that seems to be getting worse these past few years. He refuses to wearing hearing aids even though we have spent $$$ on them. He is a teacher and it is getting very difficult for him to teach his classes effectively or without students making fun of or taking advantage of his hearing loss. Just curious if anyone knows of anything before we spend $$$ and time seeing doctors that will tell him nothing.
Hearing loss
My son who is 11 has worn hearing aids since before he turned 3, first the BTE kind (which were mini) and for the last couple of years, since he has shown so much responsibility, he now has ITE very small,programmable aids. Quite expensive, but worth it.
One of the contacts that assist me in the state (VA) with school issues recently sent me additional information; included was a brochure from NFSS Communincations which is a supplier of assitive-listening devices.
However, I would not just randomly purchase an item without discussing it with an audiologist that you trust. Fortunately, my son's audiologist is wonderful beyond words and quite helpful.
I have quite a bit of additional information on this subject if you need it.
My son says to tell your husband just to get good hearing aids and wear them. (Nothing mean intended, he just knows that if he can hear with assistance, then why not wear them). He has explained to the other children that basically it is just like someone who wears glasses to see better.
I hate to see anyone struggling due to this matter and hope that he finds something he is comfortable with. Good luck!

After hearing some surgeons
mangle their reports, I vow to never let hm near me with a sharp object in his hand. And when they say "informed consent" I wonder who did the informing and whether the patient could understand it any better than I do.
It's comical. Just like when we were hearing sm
those little voices a few months back. I did hear the buzzing sound when I opened ER-MT's post above.
I am interested in hearing how this goes for you - sm
I too am waiting on a foot pedal for a new job that uses EMDAT. I should have mine on Monday though. I thought it would be just a plug in and it would work kind of deal. I just don't want it to interfere with my other foot pedal (serial port) and my MS Word, which it does mess up I think. I will know for sure the next time I use it (going to repeat the training) and then later try to use word by itself on my computer (rebooting fixed it, just hate rebooting as it takes about 10 minutes for the whole process since I have so much on my computer). You may have to change your hot keys, the EMDAT is F2, F3 and F4 keys for play, rwd and FF respectively.
hearing loss
Has anyone heard of Transcriptionist losing their hearing due to the long hours of listening on the headphones?
Hearing loss
I have been an MT for 35 years. I started with tinnitus in my left ear about 3 years ago. Saw my doctor who sent me to an ENT doctor who said I also had TMJ. Then he sent me to an audiologist and I have some hearing loss to low tones in my left ear. I still have the tinnitus, and loud noises, loud music drive me crazy. I am now going to look into homeopathic treatment for the tinnitus to see if I can get some relief. But, the ENT doctor and audiologist did tell me that it was from using the ear phones for all of these years.
Hearing loss
I think hearing loss is inevitable due to having the headsets inside the ear canal so near the eardrum and the bones of the middle ear. Perhaps a worker's comp problem if you are an employee. Or a work-related disability if it is bad enough. If so - I can tell you from experience, start saving now - hearing aids cost at the least $6000 for 2 (if you need them for both ears) and to date I have not found an insurance company that will cover any of the cost and I have been looking for the past 17 years for an insurance company that would cover them.
hearing loss
Thank you everyone for the replies on my question regarding hearing. Since I started 2 weeks I'm already noticing weird pluglike sensation in my ears everyday. Not to mention I work in a room with loud filthy mouth MA's. At times I have to up the volume so that I can hear clearly. The weird thing about the sensation in my ears, it's that I feel fine in the morning but by the time I leave there's that sensation again. Sometimes I even open my mouth with to pop my ears. I just hope this isn't progressing into something serious.
What is offended is my hearing!
I know exactly where the post comes from. I hear physicians say the patient mother, no patient's, but the patient mother. That really grates on my nerves. Some words are not even pronouced correctly. I would think if you have the sense to become a physician, surely you can get some English in on the side. It is very rude and offensive for me to have to listen.I get enough of that on the evening local news.
LOL, so where do you get your hearing aids?
I keep hearing about low wages
Even 8 cpl at 200 LPH is 16 dollars an hour, which is not a bad wage, and that is what many of the large services pay, plus you get benefits and get to stay home. No high gas prices (3 dollars a gallon or more in places).
Hearing Loss
Any long-time MTs out there noticed any hearing loss from this profession?
Hearing Loss...SM
I have had quite a bit of loss, though my mom has hearing problems but has otosclerosis and I don't, mine is conduction. I wear bilateral hearing aids to work and also have to use a Bose headset (headset has to cover my ears because my hearing aids are in-the-ear, but the Bose headset is extremely comfortable), but with this help I don't have any problems hearing what the docs are saying now. Have been wearing the hearing aids for about 2 years --- boy is my television loud when I put my aids in!!!
Are you hearing things like
not just the usual cellphone, fire alarm, land phone, gabbing, snorting and the like but I have some that people sound like they are dropping things in the background, as in equipment? Banging away. These are the operative notes and just wonder if putting away things or what in the heck. I have 1 physician who always dictates from the room where you hear the beat, beat, beat of the machine, all while he is dictating. Women physician the other day had baby crying at her knee. So unthoughtful.
So you'd be comfortable hearing
that you have an eye disease like glaucoma or retinal detachment or cataracts or diabetic retinopathy or macular degeneration, which will render you blind in time? Come on, eyes and teeth and feet and all the other parts are all protected by HIPAA, silly!
For the newer MTs hearing a "v"
would not send them to the "z" section of a book or any website. Maybe a Google search would have worked, but I didn't try it to see.
How about lightening up on the new MTs asking questions on the Word Board. I am not a new MT (20 years), and I've asked questions. I'm not so sure there is a "level of word asking." Why be so brusk and hard on the new MTs? Are you afraid they will take your job? Don't worry there is plenty of work to go around.
I would hope if you had a question on the Word board, someone does not go on another board and post how horribly incompetent you must have been to ask that question on the Word board.
This is a wonderful resource.
hearing problems
You should probably get your hearing checked out. A close friend of mine who is an MT uses hearing aids. She was able to get them through the Dept. of Vocational Rehab since they were necessary for her continued employment. Then, you should invest in a set of really good headphones. I have found that the headphones that are sold for MTs, even on the websites that specifically cater to MT equipment, just aren't all that hot. I invested in a pair of Bose headphones for about $150 and I cannot believe the difference in what I am able to hear.
reply to hearing it all
Notice she did not say she was licensed. Anyone can take a bunch of kids in to babysit. Dare care is a whole different senario. A good daycare has a structured environment with daily activities that teach them something besides hitting each other in the head with a truck while you are over in the corner doing another job.
hearing aids
If anyone that has hearing problems or uses hearing aids sees this, please reply. and let us know how you have managed. I have been told by a salesman of hearing aids that I have 30 - 35% loss of hearing,of course he works on commission and probably was counting $$ which the one he recommended was about $5000. so far work has been doable but don't know how long it will be that way, I work in office for doctor who chews, mumbles and yawns which doesn't make it any easier.
:::hearing dueling banjos:::
That explains a LOT!
I'm sure that is the only option for you.
Who would want to recruit someone like YOU?!? LOL
Puleeez. I don't scrape the bottom of the barrel. I hire the best of the best. People who know "nowhere" is one word at the very least.
I absolutely have hearing loss, more so in one ear than the other.
I am always asking people to repeat themselves, and I have the volume on my dictaphone turned up very high.
