Has anyone succeeded using bluetooth microphone to amplify patients voice so it can be heard on bluetooth hearing aids?
Hi, My wife (78) was diagnosed with PSP about 30 months ago and is in slow decline. Her voice is getting weaker and I am finding it difficult to hear what she says, much of it is mumbled. My hearing aids are bluetooth enabled, so I wondered if anyone had managed to amplify a patient's voice using

skin issue
I have had CLL for about four years. I am currently on active surveillance and treatment naive. I had a spinal fusion on July 17 for L4-5 due to Spondylolisthesis. I feel like I’m recovering as well as I can expect from the surgery. My hemoglobin dropped to 10 post surgery so I have been very tired but

Starting fresh - probiotics
Hello people. I recently became disillusioned with the supplements I was taking. It came about because I restarted berberine after a three month break. My normal brand, renew by science, have doubled their strength, and within a day or two I was finding I was ridiculously tired, like I'd run a marathon

Dragging a millstone up a mountain. RLS blind spot, patient’s apparently don’t know best.
Hello friends, it’s a while since my last post but was waiting until I had some good news to share with you all but as the title of the post indicates the opposite. I have a wonderful Consultant Dr Jose Thomas who specialises in sleep disorders and RLS, the downside is he is based in Wales uk and I

Pradaxa. Benefits and problems
Been on Pradaxa since 2016. Seems to do the job, but having started on 150mg found that bleeding from the anus was very unpleasant. The doctor reduced the dose to 110mg and that solved the problem. Taking the tablet gave me a lot of wind, but drinking plenty of water solved that. Pradaxa terrifies dentists

Ginkgo - possible adverse side effect: Nervous anxiety
It's me again. On about Ginkgo as usual... Having taken Ginkgo for over 6 months, and having planned relief from Tinnitus by doing so, I may have experienced a side effect. Recent bouts of nervous anxiety. This is not the kind of anxiety you might experience in a dentist waiting room. No, this is

Brain, ears, sleep. How can I make sense of tinnitus?
Hi all! I have tinnitus that comes and goes. Ig is a buzzing sound that fluctuates in volume. I don't have it when I am well rested and sleep deeply but as soon as I have a night where my dreams are uneasy in events..not nightmares just worries, I wake up with it or when I work late and become tired
