I Had To Look Twice At Most Of These 27 Ads. But Once I Got Them... Absolutely Brilliant.

I'm a digital guy.  But these Print Ads are genius.

Someone once told me that 'you should cry once everyday.' I don't know if I believe that. But for those of you who do...here is a little motivation.  ...I have a weird love-hate relationship with technology. I love my phone. And my computer. And my DVR. And I love that I can video chat and stay close to friends and family who are far away; and even "see" my daughter on my lunch break at work. And then I see people who can't even make eye contact when they buy a cup of coffee because they're buried in a game of words with friends. I despise that behavior. I think it's the downfall of humanity.  ...But then there are these moments that bring me back again. The reality that one person can move you with seemingly random thoughts of 140 characters or less. And then you realize that this person, this stranger -- isn't alive anymore. She is just an account left behind. She is a life engrained in a string of 140 character posts, a youtube video, a Facebook page, a Google Search, and a gmail account. And she lives forever because of it. I didn't know you Amanda aka @TrappedAtMyDesk. But I cried today. Thanks.

James - I'm sorry for your loss.

How to Find An Audiologist You Can Trust

Choosing an audiologist is important. After all, if you're experiencing hearing loss, you’ll likely be opening up your schedule and pocketbook to resolve the problem. And the reality is, not every hearing healthcare professional is the same.   So, here are a few helpful tips to consider in your selection process. I. Be sure the Audiologist works with multiple hearing aid manufacturers. This can’t be stressed enough.  There are literally dozens of well-established hearing aid brands.  Yet, some audiology practices are owned and funded by a single hearing aid manufacturer -- meaning they can only fit you with devices from one manufacturer.  That’s like seeing a General Practitioner who can only prescribes one type of medicine.  Find a private practice that has the freedom to fit you with what you need, not just with what they have. II. Don’t sacrifice Trust for Price Avoid professionals that are willing to “cut the price by $200 if you purchase today.”  These individuals are more like used car salesman than doctors, and they are primarily concerned with selling you something, not helping to resolve your problem.  If you find yourself in this situation, simply tell the doctor that you need time to think about the purchase and find another doctor in your area.    III. Avoid Retail Stores and Shopper’s Clubs You may have noticed hearing aids recently in your local electronics store or Shopper’s Club.  Listen carefully (pun intended)...Hearing Aids are not like televisions.  When you get an aid, you will need follow up visits to ensure that you’re using them correctly and that everything, including your inner ear, is functioning properly.  If someone just wants to sell you an aid and won’t be there to continually service you and your aid, walk slowly to the nearest exit.  Seriously.   IV. It’s never too late to switch Audiologists If after reading this article you realize that you purchased your aid at a Shopper’s Club, over the phone, or from someone who cut the price so you wouldn’t walk out without making a purchase, fear not.  Simply find another practitioner in the area and explain your concern.  If they meet the criteria we’ve articulated above, they’ll work with you so find the best solution.

Many adults are hesitant to try hearing aids, because they’re afraid of how it will affect their appearance. But hearing aid technologies have become extremely advanced and many hearing aids are nearly imperceptible. Just ask this guy.
