I got into one program last year but it was 140k for all 4 years, just too expensive for me. I have been looking into the Hearing Aid Academy that claims I can start working as a hearing aid specialist in 3-6 months. Do you think audiology programs would like it if I did this? Also does anyone know how reputable the Hearing Aid Academy is?

Haven’t heard anything since
...the prices are unheard of!
He said I have teneyetis.
Miranda finally tells Steve because Che doesn’t want to date a cheater.
Plus 100 for Che having ethics and realizing honesty is important
Glad to see that
But the Miranda part is a series of NOs
First she only tells Steve not because she owes him honestly, has respect for him and it’s the right thing to do but because Che is not down for cheating and she could lose Che.
Then she reiterates this by saying it’s not fair to Che
So glad Carrie called her on this one… Asking about fairness to herself and fairness to Steve.
Then she finally gets the Charlotte response she’s been asking for supportive and nonchalance. And is immediately suspicious…you asked her to stop having a reaction…there you go
Also yes Charlotte has sex with her husband and it’s not his birthday. A whole other can of worms…are people being shamed for liking sex with their partner
Then she proceeds to tell Carrie that Steve knows it’s coming because it’s a dead marriage and he’s unhappy too based on NOTHING.
Miranda your unhappiness doesn’t mean Steve is unhappy. A lot of assumptions here based on her.
Then she finally tells Steve and wants to hold hands
Plus 1000 for Steve getting his hand back and telling her straight up he is happy, this is marriage and she keeps doing this to him.
And then she leaves and heads straight for Che
*****also I’m curious what everyone else thinks…because Che is non-binary does this mean Miranda’s sexuality is the same? The show kind of punted this question for Miranda into she’s unhappy and bored with Steve…when to me it seemed at first rooted in her sexuality and questions about it. Or maybe they are going with the idea that Miranda should pursue this relationship without defining her sexuality and no one should have to define their sexuality based on a relationship.
I feel lost, I don't know if my resume is bad, or if I'm not a competitive enough candidate, if I don't have good enough personal projects, or what. I've been spending 2-3+ hours a day on this shit for 5-6 weeks now and it makes me feel horrible. I'm scared I won't get an internship and then won't be able to get a decent job as I'm going to be graduating Fall of this year. I feel I need to get an internship this summer or I will be screwed because if I can't even get an internship how will I get a job as a new grad without any work experience. I can barely do leetcode mediums and they take me a long time, a lot of them I just can't figure out on my own too. I don't understand how people can even be able to figure out leetcode hards without a ridiculous amount of time or being super experienced. I hardly wrote out cover letters for these before like a week ago but I'm so desperate now and writing out cover letters feels so fake. I've filled out like 150 application forms by now and gotten only a small handful of technical assessments half of which I bomb. I feel so behind compared to some peers on my school's CS discord who have been leetcoding for years and I just started interview prepping in December I didn't realize this would be so hard. And them some people advise to "network," I don't even know what this means. Do I stalk company recruiters from companies I've barely heard of and cold contact them with some some boilerplate disingenous emails I don't even know that what I'd say in them, like write some bullshit raving about their company culture and how much I've always wanted to work for them and tell them I'm applying for some position, I don't understand how contacting these people as a stranger would help me get a job? My school has a career fair in a few weeks I hope maybe that can help me, but I have no idea, in the Fall career fair the lines at each company's booth were ridiculously long. Sorry for this rant, I need to get this out its making me stressed.
When I order hearing aids, I always order black because I think "flesh tone" look terrible and never match (the same with matching hair). For kids, you can get bright colors, but they don't offer those to us adults. My audiologist said that a lot of her patients (most of them are older, so this may be age specific; I'm 32, so not her norm) feel the need to hide their hearing aids or at least make them less noticeable. I'd rather get whatever it is out of the way and not awkwardly wait for you to notice or say something. I have anxiety that gets worse when I think people are probably noticing something and just not saying anything.
Do you feel the need to hide yours? What age (or group) are you(if you feel comfortable sharing)?
Edit: What colors do you pick? If you had them as a child, did you go bright or muted?
A lot of people support more color options, so I encourage you to write to HA manufacturers and sign & share my petition (https://www.change.org/hearingcolors)
Without mentioning names for spoiler reasons, I am so happy to see that the deaf community is represented twice in the space of a few months in thr MCU. Daredevil isn't the only disabled superhero and I am loving it!
I’m hard of hearing. With moderate to severe hearing loss and I love being able to hear. So I don’t get why the deaf community don’t like hearing aids. I guess it could just be my experiences and opinion
EDIT:fixed question to better reflect my question
I’ve only been wearing them for about a year now but I hate wearing them. Hearing things at a higher capacity is so overwhelming and I always get a headache at work bc of it. As soon as I get in the car I take them off and am relieved. I live alone so I don’t wear them at home either. I like not being able to hear well bc I don’t feel overstimulated. But I have to wear them in social settings so people don’t get frustrated with me and at work so I don’t lose my job. Im grateful I have these or else I would be lost in the world but I just wish it wasn’t so damn overwhelming to have them in.
So my girlfriend, soon to be wife needs a new pair of hearing aids. So she went to a consultation today where they recommended the evolve ai hearing aids, specifically that she should go with premium version and it'll be $5800 less $2500 insurance. I told her to take a step back and compare prices from other offices etc. Now she's all stressed out. I don't get it, shes waited 4 years for new hearing aids but now that she's had 1 consult, she feels she needs to order them right now today instead of comparing prices, but at the same time she will try to save $20 when comparing dinners for the week. I know she needs new hearing aids, I know they are expensive, but I tend to think with something this expensive, it warrants shopping around/comparing prices from multiple offices.
Am I wrong? Are those hearing aids always going to cost $5800 wherever she goes, or are there differences in prices for the same hearing aids depending on which office you order them from?
My hearing has worsened over the course of my life. I’m 29 and I cannot work a normal job. I don’t know how to sign because I’ve always been able to talk. I’m going to jail in March for child support cost simply because I haven’t been working due to my hearing and depression. I’m not looking for sympathy just looking to get some helpful advice.
I’ve been deaf my whole life. If you don’t have anything to say about this then talk about garlic bread and Shrek in the comments.
I’ve heard nothing ever since.
I haven't heard anything since!
I've heard nothing since.
