Comment hearing aids (Score 1) 629

Hearing aids that you get via your medical providers are tuned for the patients hearing. I purchased the "Symphonix Personal Hearing Device" from RCA for $300. It is a good device with excellent battery life. It is, however, a general sound amplifier and though it works well, it is not tuned for my region of hearing loss, which is the higher frequencies. It has 3 levels of amplification, plus a larger diameter tube that amplifies the sound as well. I can turn down the tv late at night so that the sound doesn't bother anyone else in the house.

Famous Wildlife Photographer Busted For Using Stock Images 182

Nobody knows better than Award-winning wildlife photographer Terje Helleso how hard it can be to get that perfect shot in an out-of-the-way location. That's why he used stock photos. The 47-year-old photographer passed off hundreds of stock photos as his own over the course of several years. From the article: "On Wednesday, a deeply regretful Helleso spoke to local radio. He gave economic problems as a reason, but mostly it was about his own unreasonably high demands on himself to be successful, he said. 'I was under pressure, mostly from myself, and I gave in to temptation. Looking back, I’m surprised that I got away with it for so long, and that I managed to keep up appearances to my wife and everyone else,' he said."
