Yep worked in the large chain became the largest supplier of Widex in London by some margin in a clinic owned by another manufacturer. I wasn’t super popular! 😂 Learned a lot from both of you great to see you together.
Very interesting interview. As a Native Oregonian from Portland, i question why anyone would choose to live anywhere except at the Pacific Northwest. The greens and blues outdoors would not exist without rain. We also have few extreme weather days and are not dependent on air conditioning. The healthcare system is definitely broken but it is possible to find quality audiological services if you do your homework. I did experience some bumps along my hearing loss journey eventually discovering the Hearing Up Network and my excellent audiologist Scot Frink AuD who i implicitly trust with my care. I do have a medical advantage discounted hearing aid in addition to the devices that i use daily that were recommended by Dr. Frink. I am looking forward to meeting people at the HLAA convention in Phoenix at the end of June and hope to learn all sorts of information. I am not however, looking forward to the 118 degree temperature in Phoenix. I not only do not have a wardrobe for Phoenix and have no intention of conducting scientific experiments on the effects of extreme heat on my brain. . This was a very entertaining and informative discussion.
I've known Dr. Frink for years, and you're in great hands! When we first visited the Couve, it was in June and then August... it was beautiful! But after 8 years of gloom...we needed more sun! Enjoy HLAA!
A few questions I never see addressed. So, we have been told that normal hearing can withstand 85 db for many hours before potential damage. So if you have hearing damage as shown in the pic in your video does that mean damaged ears will damage easier now, so, for example, say more damage can be done at 60 to 70 db. I ask because it makes no sense that damaged ears can withstand 85 db like normal ears. So with that in mind hearing aids address specific frequencies to help only for speech. So how about all the other frequencies that are not boosted would they not become part of tinnitus. What about lower frequency loss say minus 34 to 40 at 500hz down. All those lower frequencies would not also create tinnitus chaos and sound sensitivity even if you boosted the hearing frequencies to hear. Lastly, so one gets hearing aids and has one setting for loud restaurants, well let's say the restaurant hovers at 85-90 db. Would that then cause further hearing loss? Seems like audiology is missing a lot of stuff and only focusing on speech.
Wow 😲

Thank you Matthew!
