That kinda is what my conversations with my dear old dad sounds like. I'll say something and he will COMPLETELY twist it around because he can't hear for nuthin' and refuses to wear his hearing aids!
It is amazing though that we're not all insane piles of goo just babbling and drooling by the end of some of our shifts.

Court Hearings
I have been offered a job to supplement my medical transcription job. The job is transcribing court hearings.
Delay cancels Katrina hearings??
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The House majority leader late Tuesday tried to deflect criticism of the federal response to Hurricane Katrina by saying "the emergency response system was set up to work from the bottom up," then announced a short time later that House hearings examining that response had been canceled.
Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Texas, said House Republican leaders instead want a joint House-Senate panel set up to conduct a "congressional review" of the issue.
Tempers flared Tuesday during a contentious closed-door meeting between House members and Cabinet secretaries in charge of directing Katrina relief efforts. A Republican representative stood up and said, "All of you deserve failing grades. The response was a disaster," CNN was told by lawmakers emerging from the meeting.
But DeLay countered that assessment later in a news conference by saying that the onus for responding to emergencies fell to local officials.
"It's the local officials trying to handle the problem. When they can't handle the problem, they go to the state, and the state does what they can to, and if they need assistance from FEMA and the federal government they ask for it and it's delivered," DeLay said.
He added that Alabama and Mississippi did a much better job of responding quickly than Louisiana. Alabama and Mississippi have Republican governors.

It's not just *gay* people that have HIV/AIDS
LOL, so where do you get your hearing aids?
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 Aids - Can you be still a transcriptionist?
Anyone know if being a transcriptonist and wearing hearing aids are compatible? Thank you.
transcribing and hearing aids
My daughter wears hearing aids and tried to just listen to some transcription years ago to see if it was possible - for her it was not - she tried multiple headsets and just could not hear without the background noise, etc. She wears a very expensive, computer-correctable hearing aid (2) that can be changed with a change in the chip as her hearing changes - but as for transcribing - for her it wouldn't work. Good luck for those who are able to wear them and also work.
You might throw some visual aids in there too.

HIV/AIDS drug websites
Does anyone have any websites they can share with me on HIV/AIDS medications? They are so hard to find. My C-drive crashed, and I lost information; had to get a new computer. Thanks,
Any MTs out there who wear hearing aids sm
I posted awhile back in January about needing hearing aids. I was diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss back then and was sent for an MRI, which was clean. I was told the next step would be hearing aids.
I had been having a lot of blanks through work and let the company I am an IC with know what was going on. I received an e-mail today telling me not to turn in more work until they have a copy of my hearing test. I am not sure what that means.
Honestly, with the amount of blanks I have had, they could have let me go for not hitting whatever percentage of accuracy required.
Anyway, I am just looking to see if anyone else out there has had to get hearing aids and what type they use that works best with being an MT.
Thanks for your help!
Oncology and some specialty AIDS facilities can be TOUGH.

in fact I wear bilateral aids... some is familial loss; SM
but have to wonder how much is related to 25 years of headset use as well
Mine say "Thergonomic hand aids". I bought them at Hobby Lobby sm
because I can't find Hand-Eze at my local OfficeMax (live in a small town) any more. These are fingerless gloves made of something like spandex.
I don't know about a website, but Hobby Lobby is a craft store.
I can't type comfortably any more without them - kind of like being uncomfortable in a car without a seatbelt.
I've used Hand-Eze and Thergonomic Hand Aids. sm
They help with the carpal tunnel and keep hands warm for me. They cover the hand and wrist but leave the fingers free. I wear them inside out, though, because the seams rub on the skin too much for me. I've gotten so used to them, that it is more comfortable wearing them while typing than typing with nothing on.
