The University of Suckers...
another pet peeve for me is the snot sucker.
Today I got stuck with him again for more than a few reports. Grossed me out.
I'd rather have the eating than the snot sucking
That just grosses me out so badly. Blow your nose for cryin' out loud!
I hate the ones that suck their snot up through their nose! UGH!...NM

I'm all ears
I am totally frustrated myself and so ready for a change. Trust me, I can relate.
Protect ears where you can
I recently bought a new blow dryer that is louder than my old one. I have started putting cotton in my ears while blow drying, and it muffles the high, painful whine. I suddenly have more patience with styling my hair, so I guess it may have been bothering me before this, too, and I didn't realize why I could hardly wait to finish.
definitely UNFAIR. You are our 2nd set of ears and still MTs. NM

OMG - My ears are always itchy - I actually
have an "ear itcher" that I keep on my desk - kinda gross, but what can ya do. I thought it was just me. I don't think I could go without them though, I work too much and my ears get sore. I guess I'll try Radioshack and Staples, if not, I guess I'll get them online. Thanks
You could use headphones that go over the ears
over your hearing aids, such as the noise-canceling headphones. I would assume this would work just fine. I don't like to wear my noise-canceling headphones because they get too hot, however.
My aching ears
Hi everyone! Just wondering if you all have suggestions for inexpensive headphones that don't hurt your ears, but have good sound quality. I have 2 different ones that I use and I prefer the sound quality of my little "bud" type, but they end up really hurting my ears after several hours of use. The other are much more comfortable, but I lose sound quality. I guess I'm looking for the best of both worlds -- oh, and inexpensively, too!! (I don't ask for much, huh?)
Take care all!
and most of them have cellphones stuck in their ears. nm

Unfortunately, it will fall on deaf ears.
But give it a shot.

Sorry no wonder you are so down on being a Transcriptionist as it is evident you have problems spelling.
magots in the groin and ears....

Ears now beat red and they are off for good.
My ears are not beat red and killing me. I love the NC and they help quite ambient noise even with the feature off but wowzers. Back to my cheapos for me. I may try the Koss headphones and see if they are any better. Hubby is not working so he gets to do all the running. He is going to kill me.
I have real hearing loss (30%) in both ears and
was recommended to get 2 hearing aids, but did you ever price those things? 1200 for one? So I got one. I barely use it. I can't use it for work as it isn't small enough to accomodate the headphones. But since I got on DEP, the only good thing about it is the voice comes through the speaker right into my headset so I actually have to turn it DOWN. I was evaluated and wanted to hear so bad that it was work related but they say mine is congenital, and with a little digging into my family's history I realize that it is. I do know plenty of MTs, however, who do have credible hearing loss with no other factors. I mean, come on, how could you not? The secret is to keep the volume as LOW as you can stand it to try and avoid any loss. I also have terrible ringing and think that is job related.
My daughter is 17 and has never wanted her ears pierced!
She has always been involved in sports and would have to take them out during a game or put a band-aid over them. I wanted that to be something she wanted, and she has never wanted her ears pierced. For prom we bought clip-ons and they looked pretty nice. I was afriad they would be tacky. She might want to get them pierced before next prom but, again, that will be HER decision.

Harder on my eyes than my ears but I find it hard to
believe that listening to dictation could cause hearing loss. Blasting music through headphones maybe, but not dictation. I've been doing this for 20 years and have not noticed any difference in my hearing.
However, my eyes get soooooo tired. I've started zooming in to make the print look bigger and that helps a lot.
Once a week, I clean my headset ears with alcohol.
Then swab out my ears after showering with Q-tips with alcohol on them. Keeps the itching down to nothing, and the ear wax doesn't build up that way, either.
Ears itch b/c of ear sponge bacteria (mine did)
Take off the sponges and clean the actual headset with rubbing alcohol damply applied to a towel, then replace the sponges. Do this periodically. Also, replace the sponges every month or so, especially in hot weather.
I have a pair of the earbuds (cheap ones) and they hurt my ears.
I couldn't wear them very long.
My ears are feeling so horrible that I can't stand the feel of my headphones.
I have URI symptoms, saw the doc yesterday. Has anyone ever not used their headphones and used the speaker instead. I'm concerned that I won't be as accurate. Any suggestions for me? Thanks.
Actually it's years to ears. I can spell just fine, just don't take the time to proofread eve
post as I'm busy transcribing at the same time. Sorry to say my priorities are such that you guys here don't rank perfect posts. Now, if you guys want to pay per post....

Marry me?! :) Seriously...hear, hear. Good post. - nm

If they're tight enough, hang them in front of or behind your ears. Sound is conducted through

I have drainage too and a ton of ear wax! YUK! I lavage my ears with a bulb syringe and warm saline
about once a month or they will start to itch something fierce. Nobody tells you about the ear hazards of being an MT, do they? I also have to deal with recurrent bouts of labrynthitis which my doc has said may be a side effect of ear phones in my ears all day long!
We should get hazard pay or worker's comp! 
I notice sometimes the dictation goes directly from ears-to-hands. Bypasses the brain entirely! n/
:-/
I learned to put my phones in front of my ears inbetween dictations so I don't get blasted.

Hear, hear! I agree with Dakota - sm
The MTSO should be giving feedback to the hospital/doctors who slur, speak too rapidly, etc. They need to pull up their socks! And there's no reason why these doctors shouldn't be given an outline of what is expected from them when they dictate, such as cell phones, chewing food, candy, gum, etc.
i hear you
That sounds like my husband. If he gets "stuck" with the kids the my job interferes with the family life, but when there are too many bills to pay, I spend too much money. I can never win.
I am so sorry to hear about your dog. SM
I know how sad it is to lose a beloved pet. I have lost many over my lifetime and they all stay in my memory. My condolences to you.
i hear it also....
i'm divorced and get told 'how will you ever meet someone if you don't leave the house'.
i also get neighbors asking me to watch for deliveries, let repairmen in, let their dogs out.....just because i'm home they think i'm in front of the tv eating bon bons....when actually i'm posting on this board!! 
I hear you
Good for you! Couldn't be more proud!
I want to hear more about this. Seriously.

I hear ya - sm
Hard to be the disciplinarian without the support of the husband or grandparents.
Of course, then when they get older and get into more serious trouble as time goes by, it will be YOUR fault for not disciplining them too.
Same old story around here too.
Stand your ground mom. Tough as it is, I know. You gotta do it.
Did you hear or see this anywhere
else besides on this board?? I haven't heard that - that is very scary. Hope it is just rumor.
I hear what you are saying.
My husband is a school custodian for a K-12 school. My daughter graduated a couple years ago, so I no longer have a kid in school. There were teachers along and along that I did not agree with, but there are always channels to go through. There will always be kids who are picked on. Unfortunately, the parents of the bullies are going to take up for their little angels as well. One of our first graders held a sharpened pencil to the throat of another student, and made threats to the teachers. They tried to get the child removed from the classroom and the local board of education would not cooperate. The teachers walk a fine line. They are expected to protect all the children, but they are not allowed to do very much with little devils like this. We had a coach that the parents tried to run off because he tried to teach some of the 16-17 year-old babies some discipline. I am not talking about slamming them up against the wall. I am just talking about things like making the guys on the team (heaven forbid) tuck their shirt tails in. You would be amazed at the little things that can cause such a stink. I had a teacher tell my daughter she did not agree with my parenting techniques, so it can go both ways. (My daugher was 17) Since my husband works there, I know these teachers. The teacher is a basically good person, we just had a disagreement. I was respectful when I talked to her in front of my daughter, and I expect my daughter to behave in a similar manner. I have noticed that most of the bullies in school have parents that are also bullies. We have resource officers at the school to help pretect the children. Unfortunately, these officers have also been called on to protect the teachers from very real threats from students and parents. While I agree that parents definitely need to know what is going on with their child in school, if some of the parents I know showed up at school every day it would be impossible for the teachers to actually teach classes. These teachers have to teach the whole class, not just your child. There is no way they are going to please all the parents and still do their job. There is also no way on this earth I would be a teacher these days.
Where did you hear this?
Do you have anymore information regarding this? I tried to look up on the IRS website, but couldn't find anything. I think that would be great for everyone to donate 1 vacation day, that would add up to a lot!!
Sorry to hear that you and your...sm
husband aren't getting along!
LOL...I hear that! sm
Used to work for YOG/MQ...glad I got out when I did. Talk about stress...yikes!!!
We need to hear more
About the Teamsters in LA who said they would take us on. Back last week I believe the question was asked about unions and a reply came back that LA Teamsters were interested in us, but no more details were given. Maybe that should be Monday's job, track them down in LA and see what's up.
Where did you hear that it
doesn't start until January?
I hear ya...
...all the songs you mentioned..."Something", too. Don't get me started either...LOL
In my 10th grade English class we had to pick a poem to read in front of the class...I read the lyrics from "Lucy"...a few people were looking at me like I was crazy & I just thought "Oh well, you just don't get it."
Yep, we sure could use his humor these days, that's for sure!!
At least, if what I believe is true, he's in a much better place...I can just see him looking down & shaking his head. Just imagine what kind of songs he'd be writing now!
Oh, where's a peace sign emoticon when you need one...LOL 
I hear ya!
Yeah, except we don't get $50,000 after eating the slime and rotten fish.
