Had to pop into the local hospital in Newark yesterday. I was just having a blood test whilst my wife had an audiology appointment.
Sat in a ward in City Hospital, Nottingham at the moment, awaiting a set of procedures.
This is a doorway into an older part of Newark Hospital, only used for administration.

Wa came out of my wife’s audiology appointment in Grantham to notice two unattended cars parked illegally outside. The traffic warden had already written out nice little penalty notices for each of them whilst the last thing to do was to take photos of the notices in place on the windscreen!
No more - what notice? There wasn’t one on my car!
Each of them will get two penalties, both for illegal parking and for parking on the pavement, contrary to local by-laws!
Oh dear! An expensive five minute stop!

Yesterday I had an early appointment at the hospital's ENT department as a followup to some extensive audiology tests they did back in August. To my astonishment the report was not done and now I have to go back next week.
Arghhh!
To calm myself down, I kept shooting with my phone whilst walking back to the bus.

My friend, Carrie, hearing instrument specialist (HIS), programming my new optional external microphone to be used together with my ReSound hearing aids.
If you have hearing loss (Perhaps you are afraid to admit it? Don't be! The longer you wait, the more you will fall behind in ability to communicate--it's a function of the aging brain.), now is the time to do something about it!! As in--buy AND USE hearing aids. Truthfully, one of the many reasons some needful people don't is the expense. These miniature computers for your two ears can be very expensive--as in thousands of dollars EACH. But, there's an alternative. Keep reading.
In America, there is a reputable way to avoid some of this cost and--not intending to advertise--the answer is Costco (for those of us who have access to a store). (For some countries, hearing aids/ear care is available through national health programs.) Costco's prices, for top quality name brand equipment, is about half what a private audiologist will charge. Volume trade is the way Costco achieves this. In my experience--and that of friends--Costco provides top quality service and support--write me privately with any questions about any aspect of hearing loss. I have info on self-help; have been studying the subject for over 5 years, and wearing hearing aids for 15.
If you are a US veteran with hearing loss, the VA hospital will fit you with an excellent hearing aid, free!
Important facts about hearing technicians in USA:
An AUDIOLOGIST (master or doctor of audiology--Au.M., or Au.D.) has graduate university training in audiology. This is one reason they are qualified to charge you more for their product. A HEARING INSTRUMENT SPECIALIST/DISPENSER (requirements differ by state) must complete more modest educational requirements--usually a high school diploma+special courses, not including university. In my 15 years of experience with hearing loss, and from considerable research, I find that the individual often makes the difference. Many of Costco's Hearing Specialists have been doing this work for decades and are very experienced and well informed, as well as helpful.
Unless your American provider has the letters Au.M.or Au.D. after their name, they are "short course" qualified, not university trained.

Margo passed out about to wake up on the streets of Portland. She and her girlfriends went up to Portland for a girls' weekend and I found these secret spy photos! And to think she told me that they spent all their time at the libraries, museums, and knitting supply stores. Oh my!
+++++
Okay - just so you know - Margo doesn't drink - not even one drop. Or smoke. Well, at least not when she is at home.
She told me she took a "series" of photos like this - I can't wait to see he rest.

This is the day after my cochlear implant in my skull above and behind my left ear. 👂 I’m as good as can be expected under the circumstances 👌 Baruch HaShem 👏🎶👏 🌈✡️
_______________________________________________
Okay, here's the story. I have severe hearing loss in both ears. Sharon, the manager in the Audiology section at Costco in Tucson, tested me for suitability fir a new set of new and improved hearing aids. She advised me to not waste buy money and go for a cochlear implant.
A cochlear implant is an electronic medical device that does the work of damaged parts of the inner ear (cochlea) to provide sound signals to the brain.
My friends at the Tucson branch of ALOHA, Adult Loss Of Hearing Association agreed and provided me with lots of information and emotional support. I decided to bite the bullet and get a cochlear implant in my worse ear.
My cochlear implant operation was on Halloween, Wednesday October 31s. This selfie was on the day after Halloween, Thursday, November 1st 2018.
Here’s the status of this process I am just beginning:
After a coupe of days, I became pain free❣️
The operation was just to remove bone in my skull and place a large computer chip the size roughly of a 35mm slide, which is an imbedded processing unit, attached to a magnet. It is all in the bone somewhat behind the ear. The surgeon also inserted a long embedded wire from the skull into my left ear's cocleus. It is internal and not visible.
In another three weeks I will have an external unit fitted behind my ear just like a regular hearing aid. It will have a magnet to hold it against the implanted magnet in my skull. The magnet is about the size of a quarter. The audiologists will activate it and tune it for me.
Then it can take typically from 3 to six months for me to retrain my brain to recognize signals it’s getting from the bone and any residual hearing in the ear.
Right now, I hear nothing from the left ear.
A normal side effect is that my balance is reduced. I have had to retire my signature walking stick. Hopefully, it will be temporary 🙏. I’m back to the aluminum stroller with green tennis balls 🎾 on the rear legs.
_________________________________________________
P.S, On Wednesday, November 7th, I went back to using my walking stick, at least some of the time.
I am being somewhat successful at keeping my courage up. The glass is two thirds full❣️LoL

I've spent a lot of time in the Royal over the last few years. Today mum was visiting Audiology and tonight she'll be able to turn the telly volume down :)
This painting is on the way to Audiology, opposite the WRVS cafe and is large - about 12 ft long. I forget about it and then, when I see it again I feel excited by it like I'm seeing it for the first time. Its beautifully executed and captures perfectly the slightly dark nature of the merry go round. I always think its a brave choice for the hospital, but perhaps not so many people actually look at it?

I had about 90 minutes to kill between a quick hospital audiology appointment, and work about a mile away, so I spent an hour of it photographing a few trains....
23000x : Birkenhead North EMUD
Known for her astonishing range, songs like "In my Ear", "Sock it to me" and "Bedtime Mambo" were to become ever entwined with her name. At an early age, Emmerson was singing the blues; she said later that "in a world where, frankly, we never had any money worries, and we always knew where the next buck was coming from, it was refreshing to go to local clubs and submerge myself in a world of pain, guilt, agony and regret. I also took up singing the blues".
This performance, probably the peak of her career, took place at The Broken Wheel Club in Wamalama, where they were presenting the 1968 Big Wamalama Singsong. Afterwards, the stage was mobbed by adoring fans, but fortunately for Emmerson she wasn't on it. A close call indeed!
Today, at the age of 97, Emmerson still remembers her days as one of the most powerful voices in the business - a fact independently confirmed by ENT magazine in their 1970 article "Extreme Audiology and How To Cope With It.".
By the end of 2012 Macquarie University will be home to a unique, world-class facility, purpose-built to facilitate collaborative research into hearing and related speech and language disorders. Supported by a grant from the Commonwealth Government’s Higher Education Investment Fund, and building on the long-term collaborations established by the Commonwealth’s HEARing Cooperative Research Centre, the Australian Hearing Hub, was conceived as a partnership among research, education, clinical health practice and innovation.
This state-of-the-art facility, known as the Australian Hearing Hub, will bring together researchers and professionals from University teams including nanofabrication, language and cognitive sciences, audiology, speech pathology and psychology with colleagues in government and non-government agencies and industry in Australia and overseas The Hub will be a nexus for collaboration and sharing of knowledge that will benefit people with hearing impairment and their families around the world.The Australian Hearing Hub will form part of a world-first hearing research, education, intervention and innovation precinct which will link over 2000 local professionals involved in the hearing industry across academia, government, rehabilitation and research with their international counterparts.
Members of the public will receive services and engage in research at the new facilitiy. Close links with the Macquarie University Hospital and the Macquarie University Clinics will provide the opportunity for continuity of care for clients and advances in translational research.
