Most insurance plans do not cover purchases of hearing aids.

An inductive loop is usually a loop worn around the neck. The product I linked can be said to have 2 inductive loops, but smaller and sized for the behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids.
I use hearing aids as well, but instead of an inductive loop, I use this.
Since it's right next to the hearing aids, I don't get a lot of EM noise unless it's a really loud EM source (such as microwaves or the subway).
This could be a boon for speech recognition systems, especially for use in areas with lots of environmental noise, or even just a little.
Maybe even the effort in clearing out the environmental noise will lead to the ability to clean out the "noise" (accents, minor physical fluctuations) from a person's speech- perhaps to such a point that the complexity of the software speech recognition problem is reduced.
If you get the chance to move out, consider getting a Passive House, where it has super-thick insulation and is hermetically sealed. You wouldn't have to worry about frozen pipes in that kind of setup.
Shields, check. Energy weapons, check. Now we just need a viable interstellar drive, and an energy source to power it all.
No, what we need is a strong hull that can withstand all the micro-meteoriods hitting it at 27,000+ mph.
I recommend getting a General Products #2 hull.
Neutrinos have bad breadth.
