I never understood the difference...

COVID slide:

I have been taking one dose of Ivermectin a week as prevention. I also take D3, K2, Zinc Quercetin, C, Magnesium, and a couple of others. My only prescription med is my thyroid med for underactive thyroid. I’ve been taking it since I was 35.

My only health issue is seasonal asthma. My BP was 112/72 this morning. I’m not overweight. I’m almost 67.

I haven’t been sick since I had the bronchitis from hades in March of 2020. I thought I would die from that and even with prednisone, two types of prescription cough meds, a z-pak, and two inhalers it took 6-weeks to feel better. The time I had it before that was bad like normal but didn’t last as long.

My question is, should I keep taking the ivermectin each week indefinitely or stop and wait until I’m exposed or actually have COVID? I’m no longer masking unless a business asks me to but I don’t get out much either. I’m not asking my doctor because she doesn’t know I’m taking ivermectin.

...

The difference is mostly in the underlying technology.

A Hearing Aid will be fit by (or the fit will be supervised by) a Doctor of Audiology (AuD or, Audiologist)

The underlying technology allows the Doctor to tailor the frequency response to your particular hearing loss. You won't have amplified sound of everything, you will have tailored sound - specifically for your brain.

In addition, Hearing Aids are normally provided with an extended care plan that will provide regular visits with the Doc so that as your brain adapts to the aid, they can refine the "tuning" and you'll experience a more "normal" sound.

Hearing loss can be serious and lead to balance issues, social isolation and dementia.

If you or a loved one is suffering from hearing loss, mention it to the Doctor, don't just brush it off as "old age."
