in my experience it's chronic depression that cause people to give so little poo poo about their own life, like a drawn out expensive suicide. could be a lot of stuff though. dude is def mentally ill, but caring for them without extensive therapy is just another form of enabling

Well I mean if you don't even have the motivation to take care of yourself, and shame and homelessness and starvation don't motivate you, you die or fall into the hands of social services once your entire family has abandoned you. If you think you can get that far without being mentally ill in any way I'd disagree

A Wizard of Goatse posted:If you get a cochlear implant ASAP they're apparently pretty good, but the longer you go without the more of the hearing-related parts of your brain turn to pudding and once you've lost that capacity it's unrecoverable. The 'deaf culture' slapfight over kids is either you fix em right away and they don't grow up Deaf or you let em sit and their capacity to process sounds is hosed forever, there is no waiting or letting them sort it out when they grow up. Hey, a topic about which I can speak firsthand. I lost my hearing from a double-whammy of chicken pox and bacterial meningitis at the age of 4. Meningitis is basically your brain boiling inside of your skull - my fever reached 108 as my parents were rushing me to the emergency room - and hearing loss is a common consequence. (Really, with that fever, I'm lucky to be alive, so I'll take it.) Anyway, I got an implant pretty much straightaway; it only took a couple of months for my hearing loss to become profound, and I think I had the implant like a matter of weeks after that. So as far as hearing with an implant goes, I'm about in the 99.9th percentile, due to both how young I was when I got it and how soon after I lost my hearing that I actually received it. I hold regular conversations in public places, I listen to music and attend concerts, I see movies in the theater, etc. Now, because I only have one implant, it's kind of like hearing in mono instead of stereo, which means I have a lot of trouble telling the direction of sounds - if you yell my name, I know somebody is vying for my attention but I don't know where their voice is coming from. And I still have trouble with the lyrics to songs in a lot of cases, as well as a lesser amount of trouble with dialogue in TV and film (thank god for subtitles). But other than that, and some difficulty hearing in extremely loud places e.g. concerts or bars, which is kind of a given for anyone I figure, it's fantastic. Plus, the new model I just got comes with bluetooth capability which gives me the ability to completely shut out background noise and stream audio from my phone in otherwise total silence. It's loving awesome.

DragQueenofAngmar posted:This loving rules It's something I never knew I wanted - my last model had a pretty nifty audio cable which plugged right into the implant, which allowed me to listen to music that other people couldn't hear, but I still had background noise present. With this one, I can adjust the balance of background volume and streaming volume however I like. Usually I keep background noise fairly audible so that I don't have to switch it off just to hear somebody at work, but if I'm listening to a podcast in public, that poo poo's going down to zero. Also, the newest model has a sort of condom you can slip over the whole unit to make it entirely waterproof, which is something I've wanted all my life, since pools/waterparks/swimming in lakes and oceans have always been wasted on me, socially speaking. Gloryhold It! posted:108? drat! That's where enzymes break down from sheer heat I was, apparently, straight up hallucinating on the way to the hospital.

does it automatically equalize media? Cause a lot of music is recorded explicitly with stereo in mind and it really ruins the experience when you need to only use 1 bud for w/e reason. maybe I've just had lovely media players but I've never actually found an option to just treat things as mono, I assume that would be part of the one earpiece tho?

Well, in my case, when I'm streaming, I'm getting both channels, so it pretty much just is mono at that point. And I know Winamp actually offers that option anyway. And yes I still use Winamp in 2017.  The Lone Badger posted:Why only one implant? I suppose you'd have to ask my parents, which I oddly never have, because it hasn't bothered me; most likely just the prospect of sending their four-year-old son under the knife for yet a second incredibly major surgery. I spent a lot of time in the hospital as it was. Didn't really bother me at that age, or at least I don't remember it bothering me. I only have scant memories of the actual "I'm really sick and this is bad" part of it; most of what I remember is eating pizza and watching the little model boats go downstream in the fake river/waterfall in the cafeteria, playing this Super Mario arcade cabinet, and my mom sleeping on the cushion in the windowsill in my room. Oh, and what I referred to as the "Ball Machine," which was this glass-enclosed contraption which sent a bunch of metal balls flying around and running down ramps and poo poo. I watched that a lot. Props to St. Louis Children's Hospital.

That's a one-way ticket to divorce-town. i understand the urge to care for family in a time of need but this guy is counting on burning through family goodwill like bad credit. the only way to tackle this sort of thing is with a unified tough love plan, because someone with a mental illness that causes them to exploit and malinger is just going to suck and suck charity like a vampire. dude is going to ruin his sister's marriage and she's the one who has to be sane and recognize it. if she's not willing to the only remedy is to sever, unfortunately. if he's not going to shape up on his own despite being left out to die of exposure like a sick animal then, well, life is cruel sometimes

My sister-in-law is like that. If she manages to get into your house, expect her to sit on her rear end drinking every day with absolutely no interest in getting a job until you kick her out. Unfortunately she has six or seven kids with her. My father-in-law is the same way.
