It is no surprise that the larger the lughole, the lower the attenuation for “one-size-fits-most” earplugs... what is interesting is the number of workers who are unlikely to achieve the derated NRR*. A team from ETS, IRSST and CRCLM in Canada have recently published this paper in the International Journal of Audiology 👇. For a largely male sample of workers exposed to occupational noise (sample size = 121, 103 male, 18 female) 12.7 % of ear canals (all male) were in the XXL or XXXL size categories, giving lower earplug attenuation. The authors conclude that the 3M Eargage earcanal sizing tool "can serve as a straightforward tool to identify earcanals for which specific earplugs are not suitable". *the US NRR is calculated using the mean attenuation minus 2 SD as opposed to 1 SD for the SNR used in the UK/EU, and is therefore typically (but not always) lower... https://lnkd.in/eHhA-3Ug

Let’s talk about Real Ear Measurement! Real Ear Measurements (REM) can give a more accurate starting point for a hearing aid fitting based on the client’s real data. The Automatic REM 2 feature in Unitron TrueFit 5.6 software automates the process of incorporating Real Ear Measurements into the fitting process. To learn more, listen to Jesse Sinclair as he discusses the benefits of Automatic REM 2. #Unitron #LoveTheExperience #HearingCare #hearing #health #audiology

If you are going to dispense a progressive lenses! Please make sure you took the below parameters of the patient. 1. IPD: Inter pupillary Distance. (Monocular PD MANDATORY) 2. FH: Fitting Hight 3. SG: Segment Hight -Available Corridor’s {Ultra short,Short,Regular}. Everything is dependent on the frame that the customer selected and the nearby activity. ( If the patient is a progressive wearer Make sure to follow the OLD segment Hight) 4. Measure the diameter in accordance with the FH, PD, and Frame. 5. Verify that the lens base curves correspond to the base curve of the frame. 6. The lens thickness that we must order based on the frame. 7. Verify that the prescription, lens information, frame specifications, thickness, and diameter are all perfect. 8. should always be asked the patient about their Profession and their requirements. 🔒🔒👓👓 You can apply all of these processes for all RX lenses—with the exception of stock lenses. We must examine the stock lenses' base curve to see if it is feasible to maintain the optimum PD and FH levels. If you spot any mistakes in this post or have any recommendations, then let me know so that I can fix it and learn from it as well. 🥰🥰

Commercial Development Manager at Widex - Empowering Optical business leaders to introduce audiology independently
Is it just me... Starting my optical career in Boots has obviously made me see hearing & optical as a natural partnership. They’re both healthcare, shared demographic, etc. However, now I coach optical businesses launching audiology, I see how significant their differences can be. I always assumed things such as CPD, regulatory bodies, etc would be similar. Today's bombshell is that high street Hearing aid dispensers can't dispense under 40’s 🤯 Has anyone else found a surprising difference between the 2?! #Audiology #Optometry #HealthcareExperience

Underestimation of IPR requirements in aligner therapy is common. I show a very simple video to highlight this problem. The sofware is Blender and does not recreate the dentition as aligner software do, showing that there is a lot of processing going into conventional aligner software.

A 41 years old female came to our OPD for blurring of vision at near for 6 months. Her visual acuity was 6/6 at distance in both eye & N10 at near @40 cm in both eye. During retinoscopy I observed she has anisocoric pupil. I checked her pupillary response by consensual light reflex & near reflex. Consensual light reflex: Sluggish reacting in RE & RRR in LE . Also present anisocoria in room illumination. Near reflex: it shows equal reaction & size of pupil. I saw she has mild ptosis in RE but intact ocular motility. Q/A: 1. What will be the cause of unilateral light near dissociation? 2. What will be the next step to evaluate this patient?

A 22 years old female medical student came to me for blurring of vision at distance, Headache and eye strain during reading. She was on anxiety about her exam. On examination her visual acuity was 6/60 in both eye. During retinoscopy I observe a variable retinoscopic reflex & then suggest cycloplegic refraction. After installing cycloplegic drop her visual acuity was 6/12 at distance in Both eye. Dry Retinoscopy was about : OD : -4.50/-1.00×05, OD: -4.50/-1.00 × 175. Cycloplegic Retinoscopy was : OD: -1.00× 05, OS: -1.00×175 Her Existing Glass was: OD: -0.50×5 , OS: -0.50×175. My spot dx was Pseudomyopia with accommodative spasm.

Physical Therapy practitioners address the most basic tasks and movements first, such as safely moving from a bed to a chair while protecting your impaired arms from injury. They will gradually progress to exercises and tasks that improve balance, help you relearn basic coordination skills, and retrain your brain to perform functional tasks such as grasping objects and walking. As opposed to an OT, the PT addresses issues in the lower portion of the body. #physicaltherapy #strokerecovery #strokesurvivors
