Sometimes a little snuggle is all you need. Bristles and Bailey. Bristles is the big spoon. #bostonterriers

#Audiologist advocating for #hearing #healthcare beyond the #hearingaid and increasing awareness of our #hearingbrain.
I am just a rural town audiologist wanting to help people that want to use their hearing as part of their communication to do it better.
Also "just" a hobby collector. #crochet #honeybees #fiberarts #booklover #gardening #fibergoats #bostonterriers #greatpyranees #ruralfarmlife
#shoefie #pdxindc #advocacy visit with Sen. Merkley staffer to ask Merkley to help keep telehealth access for Medicare recipients to continue to receive audiology and SLP services

I caught my cat chewing on electrical cords, so I had to ground her. She’s doing better currently and now conducting herself properly.
Micro SF/F by O. Westin"I'm just saying," the first witch said. "A cat familiar is more traditional."
"Or a raven," the second witch said. "Where did she even get a dragon from, anyway?"
"She tamed it. In her last job," the third witch said.
"What job was that?"
"Princess."
"Oh. Well. No wonder she changed careers."
The more I learn the more I appreciate the deep well of learning. At 8 I learned that dogs hear higher pitches than humans. At 14 I learned that humans have a 20-20,000hz potential range of hearing. At 16 I learned that you hear in utero so you can recognize your mom’s voice. At 20 I learned that birds hair cells regenerate to replace damaged hair cells. In graduate school I learned that I will never stop learning about how the auditory system informs our communication.
I will be better today than I was yesterday, I will prepare to be even better tomorrow.

Bums me out to hear that science is under attack, but then I see articles like this that give me hope that good work is still being done.

Prof. Sam LawlerIt's pretty doomy in here. Here, have some goats (and a bonus llama and horse+goat-backscratcher)
NeurophysicsLab Albrecht Haase📢Hot off the press: "Neuronal correlates of sleep in honey bees"
#CalciumImaging🔬 in sleeping #bees🐝: Antennal lobe neurons synchronise stronger during #sleep, likely due to reduced GABAergic coupling. #SNN💻 simulations show reduced #odour processing, similar to human sleep😴.

‘I can hear, I just can’t understand what people are saying’
Provided you are not trying to have a conversation with someone using a language you are unfamiliar with, I would like to unpack this statement. I hear it a lot, as in several times during my workday almost every day. And it means a lot of different things. The answer to what it might mean for one person may be different for the very next person I hear it from.
I will try to answer some of the most common reasons in upcoming posts.
