    Here’s a link to Costco hearing services. You can use the locator to find a Costco hearing center near you. The prices on that page are compared to the hearing aids I paid $5,500 for 6 years ago through a traditional audiologist. Same brands, same features, $4000 difference in pricing for the same brand and quality of hearing aids.

    Minor sidetrack… My hearing aid app has a “find my hearing aids” function. I laughed about this at my last audiologist visit. I said “My hearing aids are either in the charger, or in my ears. Where else would they be?” My audiologist explained that that function is not for people like me, it’s for people who only wear them occasionally.

    boards.straightdope.com/t/my-sartorial-frustration/1005856

    My sartorial frustration. I’m a smoker. I’m also what would be described in height/weight charts as obese. When I appear in public, my usual outfit is my Postal Service uniform (bought on USPS’s nickel). That’s okay five days a week.

    boards.straightdope.com/t/trying-on-pierced-earrings-health-and-legal-issues/...

    Being a store owner and also going through a not very pleasent treatment for hepatitis-c. I would never let anyone try on earrings. I have received numerious dirty looks and a few tossed earrings on my jewelery counter but only because of having the customers best interest at heart. Sure it maybe unlikely but not all together imposible.

    Factual Questions. weisser83 December 31, 2009, 8:42pm 1. I’ve heard people claim that wrist watches stop working for them after a very short period of time. They replace the batteries, switch watch brands and styles, etc., but to no avail – every watch quits on them. Even when well taken care of and not dropped, damaged, or submerged, they ...

    boards.straightdope.com/t/does-anyone-know-the-truth-behind-desmond-harrington...

    The actor Desmond Harrington, aka “Quinn” on Dexter, began the show looking healthy and strong. However, as the seasons progressed, he gradually began to lose weight. It was subtle at first, but became very exaggerated over the course of Season 5, to the point where he really looks absolutely horrible. He seems haggard and unhealthy; his cheeks are sunken in and his skin looks very ...

    In My Humble Opinion. Mint_Julep February 25, 2008, 5:36pm 1. A couple of weeks ago, as I got out of the shower, I noticed a dent in my right upper thigh and I realized that I had been leaning against my bathroom counter while applying make up and plucking my eyebrows. Well I did not give it much thought because I assumed it would go away ...

    I’m not entirely sure how/when would use one with a man, but they use condoms over the transvaginal ultrasound wand for women. Keeps it clean, provides a little lube… So there’s at least one legitimate medical use for condoms that isn’t sexually related. Or it’s possible your grandfather had a girlfriend in the nursing home. It happens.
