Very helpful thanks, including the reference list to follow up with
Wow.. I am motivated to continue being a nurse.. i was recently diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss as part of my medical for my job application in singapore and i am worried that it might affect the employer's decision in continuing the process of hiring me... Watching this relieved my anxiety while waiting for my SNB approval... I am a nicu nurse here in the Philippines and would it be ok if I ask you to be one of my mentor?
Can you please do a video on how your approach patients as far as using the digital stethoscope and having to pull out your phone to use the stethoscope. I have severe-profound hearing loss and use Oticon Xceed SP hearing aids. I just started an accelerated BSN program. I got the Littmanm CORE stethoscope (connecting to my hearing aids with Bluetooth). I’m still adjusting to it. I have to turn my hearing aid mics off while listening or i can’t “overcome” the background noise to clearly hear. It would be amazing if you could do a bedside demo with how you handle that patient interaction/intro to the digital stethoscope

great idea @ljwismer6028
I am pursing nursing yet have this hearing loss at my right ear. But cant afford to buy one. Hoping someone can grant my wish☹️
Hi DD, I wanted to thank you for your videos. They are well thought out. I also have a channel about hearing loss. But I do more my life stories and resources for those with hearing loss. Perhaps one day we would do something together. Again, a ton of thanks. Liza from Hearing Loss Pathfinder
