Her hearing will be destroyed by the hearing aids, but there's not much else in options, it's a genetic condition.
I will have to see what my ENT says, and what the hearing aid is setup for, and from there, use it at the minimum level I can get away with. I survived 8 years without hearing aids at the 20db at 750, 130 at 1000hz level, so giving me even 20 db would help get my speech range back.
Sounds like i have a somewhat similar hearing loss.
My previous ENT claims it's just genetic, and that my change from about 20db up to 750 hz, down to 50db at 750hz is just genetic as well, and that there's nothing that can be done.
I'm already booked with an appointment with a new ENT(takes about 6 months in Ontario, Canada)
My girlfriends hearing aids deliver up to 142 db into her ears, she has much worse hearing than me.
I am deaf myself (http://www.compwizrd.com/hearingtest/fullchart.jp g), and yet I'm not really considering the cochlear implant as a valid option, for mainly one simple reason. The implant is a destructive implant, destroying all residual hearing in the implanted ear. If someday someone comes up with a fix for the type of hearing loss I have, and the implant has destroyed the cochlear, I'm completely screwed.
Now if it didn't take 6 months to get an appointment with an audiologist in Ontario, Canada, I'd be all set. Mine is next month, it was booked in April.
Keep in mind that pollution controls have advanced greatly in the last 20 years. Your Metro would not come even close to passing a modern standard for emissions.
It takes about 6 months to see an audiologist in London, Ontario.
I'm only three months away from my appointment.. then i have to see if they'll actually investigate why i've gone from ~20db loss in the low frequencies to 55 db(above 1khz has stayed the same at 100-130db)
Your numbers are out of date, the figures within the last couple years indicate anywhere from 40 to 45 million.
Also, for those that do have health care, a good chunk of those have basically useless health care, where the plan just covers emergencies, and/or has high deductibles. The numbers double if you start adding in those who lost their health care for some period of time.
And they can't turn away people, but they can certainly go after them for the money after, forcing many into bankruptcy from relatively minor illnesses.
they also have a standalone rackmountable unit, that has two temp/humidity probes and a couple contact pairs for alarms.. put one of those on the server room door, and it'll page you everytime someone opens that door.
it's not the individual room that is normally the problem, it's the load on the entire building when you have thousands of amps of power flowing down what is normally out of date wiring.
I've been in a residence where the wiring was so old it was just a hot and neutral, no ground.
Now you want to stick 5 amps extra on top of the normal room load, times a few hundred people?
well, the k-cars are indestructible.. my brother put one in FIRST at 85mph on me once, and it actually went into the gear, and the car ran the same after...
well, every university does that.. windsor is just known for being the worst for it. after all, it's far cheaper to have one entry level professor teaching 200 first year students in a classroom than a professor teaching 25 3rd year students.
did a direct to park in a 2001 cavalier once. at 70mph.. had to shift to N to stop faster when some idiot pulled right in front of me and braked.. but i hit the button on the top by accident, and it went all the way to P instead of stoppingat N.
It made a clicking noise, and for that tenth of a second I was trying to think what would happen as i slam it back into D.. would it try and get R from the other direction?
No problem.
I find that modern transmissions are idiot proof.. they normally won't let you do anything that would destroy it.(over rev, 6000rpm neutral drops, etc)

I replaced the 30 gig 4200rpm drive in my T23 with a 60 gig 7200 7k60.
It made one hell of a difference.

The hit in meta-moderation would have been worth it for "Informative", but alas, I don't have any points today.

our emissions testing in Ontario works on that principle, any cars over 20 years of age don't need to be tested anymore.

Same thing?
And this new drive is 5 platters...

now install a thousand of them in the dorm.

most residences do not allow air conditioners because the electrical system cannot take that kind of load.
just what installer were you last using? the installer for woody lets you pick ext3 right away.

goes just fine.
it makes a clackety noise until you put it back in Drive.
at least on a modern cavalier...

I'm impressed that you were able to do this at Guelph, as from what I hear it's actually a good university to attend.
Now, if you'd done this at Windsor, I'd be rather unimpressed, as it seems most people are able to do this anyways.
hell, my old neon would do 60mph in _first_ gear. second was good to only 85mph though. topped out at 118mph. weird gearing.
Decent and Canon in the same sentence?
Ouch.
