Primary Difference Between Off-The-Shelf Hearing Aids & Programmable Hearing Aids

The purpose of this post is to illustrate the primary difference between hearing aids people can purchase without seeing a medical professional and those they can purchase from a hear care professional. The differences in cost are actually very close. People can get roughly comparable pricing and far better performance than they think.

Hearing tests are typically done by testing patients' hearing at a series of frequencies. The frequencies range from low to relatively high. In the rate case that the numbers are important to you, they are the following: 250Hz; 500Hz; 1,000Hz; 2,000Hz; 3,000Hz; 4,000Hz; 6,000Hz & 8,000Hz. Hz stands for hertz.


During a hearing test, patients wear headphones and hold a button. The button is pressed in response to beeps the patient hears. The objective of the test is to determine the threshold of the patient's hearing. These numbers are recorded in a database for record keeping and hearing aid programming, if necessary. Sound is typically measured in decibels. A hearing performance is represented as seen in Fig. 1, below.

Fig. 1


Off-the-shelf hearing aids are not programmed to fit patients' hearing tests. Manufacturers that produce said hearing aids either disallow any adjusting of frequencies or if they may offer two channel adjusting covering a range of frequencies they call bass and a range of frequencies they call treble. Either way, it is highly unlikely that this 2-channel set up can match a patient's hearing test.


Off-the-shelf hearing aids are made to sell as inexpensively as possible, and because of this costs are cut in their production. This is the reason they cannot be customized. If a hearing aid is not customized to a patient's hearing test, the patient's hearing or articulation index might even be reduced, which defeats the purpose of the hearing aid to begin with.


Customizable hearing aids made by mainstream manufacturers have many channels in order to match a patient's hearing test very closely. As time goes on and a patient's hearing changes, customizable hearing aids can be adjusted as well.


Basically, the better the hearing aid is programmed to match the curve in figure 1 - the better the patient will hear.

Solution: : Before you can run Vmware several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel.

There are a lot of complicated solutions online, but I found this to be the simplest & fastest. Don't worry, the virtual operating systems you've created will still exist and you won't lose them.

1. Uninstall VMware
     sudo vmware-installer -u vmware-player

2. Reinstall VMware
     sudo ./VMware-Player-5.0.2-1031769.x86_64.bundle
     Note: adjust the above file name to match the VMware you've downloaded

up vote 1 down vote favorite I'm running Wine1.2.2 on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid). In my file manager, I can get to the /.wine/drive_c folder, so I know it exists in my file system. However, when I open the Wine Configuration window (either via apps/wine/configuration or via terminal (winecfg), on the Drives tab it shows C: ../drive_c D: /media UDISK (and a few other drives). However, the C drive 'browse' button is greyed out, so I cannot link Wine to this drive, which in fact does appear in my file system. When I try to bring up the wine configure page or the ../drive_c file in terminal I get the message: wine cannot find L "C/windows/system/32/plugplay.exe" What is wrong and how can I fix this problem? wine shareedit edited Aug 1 '12 at 7:37 Eliah Kagan 24.1k854136 asked Mar 31 '11 at 18:22 user12809 4413 1 Answer ACTIVEOLDESTVOTES up vote 1 down vote That's normal. If you are trying to Browse your C: drive, then do it through the applications menu. Applications>Wine>Browse C: Drive or open up nautilus and navigate to: /home/user/.wine/dosdevices/c: alternatively you could cd to the above in a terminal. You don't actually browse the drive from the wine config though. shareedit answered Mar 31 '11 at 18:49 Ctuchik 1737 Thanks. It does not appear to be a problem. In Windows, P&P service in Windows was set to 'Manual' when I installed wine, and I wonder if this is why wine could not find it? As you pointed out it is not the problem. I'm having a problem w/installing windows apps via wine. When I download the windows app .exe, save to desktop, open Terminal, change directory to desktop, and enter wine USMoneyDixSunset.exe, I get "wine cannot find L "C\\windows\\system32\\USMoneyDixSunset.exe". Why does wine look there instead of on desktop? – user12809 Apr 2 '11 at 16:09 That's the default for wine, you would actually have to give the whole path to the file. I'll show you an easier way though: If you right click on USMoneyDixSunset.exe, there should be an open with wine option in the menu. alternatively if you open the terminal type wine and drag the usmoney.exe into the terminal that will work as well. – Ctuchik Apr 5 '11 at 14:46 Thanks. Always fun and helpful to learn new tricks – user12809 Jun 9 '11 at 15:26

What a coincidence! Breitbart's coroner dead from arsenic poisoning?

What a coincidence! Breitbart's coroner dead from arsenic poisoning? Get short URL Published time: May 02, 2012 20:41 Edited time: May 03, 2012 00:41 Andrew Breitbart (AFP Photo / Nicholas Kamm) Tags Health, Scandal, USA The unexpected death of conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart just got a whole lot more mysterious. Only two months after Breitbart’s passing, the coroner that investigated the cause of death may have succumbed to arsenic poisoning. Michael Cormier, 61, passed away on April 20, the Los Angeles Times reports this week. Although Cormier’s death is only being publicized now, the timing of actual passing actually came within hours of the release of the preliminary autopsy report of Breitbart. Commenting to the Times on the latest news, Lt. Alan Hamilton of the Los Angeles Police Department says that investigators have not ruled out foul play in the death of Cormier. Authorities have yet to confirm how they believe arsenic entered his system — or if the coroner was deliberately poisoned — but Cormier passed away after being admitted to a hospital in Burbank, California last month after displaying symptoms typical with the illness. Now as investigators consider how Cormier’s life came to an end, others are still probing the untimely passing of Breitbart, an event which spawned conspiracy theories within minutes. As some have spent the last several weeks considering the pieces of the puzzle involving the journalist’s death, an unusual twist has been added to the mix. Hours after the death of Breitbart was confirmed in early March, skeptics were quick to question what role his passing may have had in relation to a public address he delivered earlier in 2012. Speaking to the audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. only weeks earlier, Breitbart claimed he had videos that would end the political career of US President Barack Obama. “I have videos, this election we’re going to vet him,” Breitbart said back in February “We are going to vet him from his college days to show you why racial division and class warfare are central to what hope and change was sold in 2008.” Although investigators would go on to call Breitbart’s March 1 death the result of heart failure, even some of his personal friends put forth the notion that it was an inside job. “He told me RECENTLY he had big dirt on Obama… MANY believe it's murder!” radio host and pal Mancow Muller tweeted after his death, adding in a similar micro message that he had his doubts about the initial reports of natural causes. Speaking to reporters at Los Angeles’s KABC News, investigators with the LA Police Department say that doctors at the hospital that Cormier died at have raised suspicions over the coroner’s death.

21 Command Prompt Tricks and Hacks
Command Prompt Tricks, Hacks, and Secrets in Windows 7, 8, Vista, and XP
The Windows Command Prompt tool, and many of its commands , might seem boring or even relatively useless at first glance, but as anyone who
has ever used the Command Prompt very often can tell you, there's much to love!
Below are several Command Prompt tricks and other Command Prompt hacks that I guarantee will get you excited about many of the mundane
sounding Command Prompt commands like telnet, tree, or robocopy... okay, robocopy sounds pretty cool.
Some of these Command Prompt tricks and hacks are special features or uses of the Command Prompt itself, while others are just neat or relatively
unknown things you can do with certain commands. Enjoy!
1. Use Ctrl-C to Abort a Command
Just about any command can be stopped in its tracks with the abort command: Ctrl-C .
If you haven't actually executed a command, you can just backspace and erase what you've typed, but if you've already
executed it then you can do a Ctrl-C to stop it.
Warning: Ctrl-C isn't a magic wand and it can't undo things that aren't undoable, like a partially complete format command .
However, for things like the dir command that seem to go on forever or questions you're asked at the prompt that you don't
know the answer to, the abort command is an excellent Command Prompt trick to know.
2. View a Command's Results One Page (or Line) at a Time
Ever run a command, like the dir command, that produces so much information on the screen that it's almost useless? You're not
alone.
One way around this is to execute the command in a special way so whatever information is generated is shown to you one
page, or one line, at a time.
To do this, just type the command, the dir command for example, and then follow it with the pipe redirection operator and then
the more command.
For example, executing dir /s | more will generate the thousands of lines of results that you expect from the dir command, but
the more command will pause each page of results with -- More -- at the bottom of the page, indicating that the command is
not done running.
Just press the space bar to advance by page or press the Enter key to advance one line at a time.
See Command Prompt Trick #7 below for a different solution to this problem.
3. Run Command Prompt as an Administrator Automatically
Many commands require that you execute them from an elevated Command Prompt in Windows - in other words, execute
them from a Command Prompt that's run as an administrator.
You can always right-click on any Command Prompt shortcut and choose Run as administrator but creating a shortcut to do the
same thing can be a huge time saver if you're a frequent Command Prompt power user.
To complete this Command Prompt trick, just create a Command Prompt shortcut on the desktop, enter the shortcut's properties
and then select the Run as administrator box located in the Advanced button on the Shortcut tab.
4. Become a Command Prompt Power User with Function Keys
The fact that the function keys actually do something in the Command Prompt is maybe one of the best kept secrets about the
tool:
F1: Pastes the last executed command (character by character)
F2: Pastes the last executed command (up to the entered character)
F3: Pastes the last executed command
F4: Deletes current prompt text up to the entered character
F5: Pastes recently executed commands (does not cycle)
F6: Pastes ^Z to the prompt
F7: Displays a selectable list of previously executed commands
F8: Pastes recently executed commands (cycles)
F9: Asks for the number of the command from the F7 list to paste
Command Prompt Trick #17 is full of arrow key shortcuts, a few of which are similar to these function key tricks.

5. Hack the Prompt Text
Did you know that the prompt itself in the Command Prompt is completely customizable thanks to the prompt command? It is,
and when I say customizable, I mean really customizable.
Instead of C:\>, you can set the prompt to any text you want, have it include the time, the current drive, the Windows version
number , you name it.
One useful example is prompt $m$p$g which will show the full path of a mapped drive in the prompt, alongside the drive letter.
You can always execute prompt alone, without options, to return it to its sometimes boring default.
6. Get Help for Any Command
Believe it or not, the help command does not provide help for every Command Prompt command. However, any command can
be suffixed with the /? option, usually called the help switch , to display detailed information about the command's syntax and
often times even some examples.
I doubt that the help switch is the coolest Command Prompt trick you've ever heard of, but it's hard to disagree that it's one of
the more useful.
Unfortunately, neither the help command nor the help switch offer much in the way of explaining how to interpret the syntax.
See How To Read Command Syntax if you need help with that.
7. Save a Command's Output to a File
An incredibly useful Command Prompt trick is the use of redirection operators , specifically the > and >> operators.
These little characters let you redirect the output of a command to a file, giving you a saved version of whatever data the
command produced in the Command Prompt window.
Let's say you're about to post a computer problem to an online forum, like my computer support forum for example, and you
want to provide really accurate information about your computer. An easy way to do that would be to use the systeminfo
command with a redirection operator.
For example, you might execute systeminfo > c:\mycomputerinfo.txt to save the information provided by the systeminfo
command to a file. You could then attach the file to your forum post.
See How To Redirect Command Output to a File for more examples and a better explanation of how to use redirection
operators.
8. View Your Hard Drive's Entire Directory Structure
I think one of the neatest little commands is the tree command. With tree, you can create a kind of map of your computer's
directories.
Execute tree from any directory to see the folder structure under that directory.
Tip: With so much information, it's probably a good idea to export the results of the tree command to a file. For example, tree /a
> c:\treeresults.txt, just as explained in Command Prompt Trick #7.
9. Customize the Command Prompt Title Bar Text
Tired of that Command Prompt title bar text? No problem, just use the title command to change it to whatever you like.
For example, let's say your name is Maria Smith, and you want to express your ownership of the Command Prompt: execute title
Property of Maria Smith and the Command Prompt's title bar will change immediately.
The change won't stick, so the next time you open Command Prompt the title bar will be back to normal.
The title command is usually used to help give a custom appearance in script files and batch files... not that I'm saying titling it
with your name isn't a good idea!
10. Copy From the Command Prompt
As you may or may not know, copying from the Command Prompt is not as easy as copying from other programs, which is part of
the reason why saving a command's output to a file, Command Prompt Trick #7, is so handy.
But what if you do just want to copy a short section of text to the clipboard? It's not too hard but it's not very intuitive either.
Right-click anywhere in the Command Prompt window and choose Mark. Now, highlight with your left mouse button whatever
you'd like to copy. Once your selection is made, press Enter.
Now you can paste that information into whatever program you'd like.
