Deaf Metal- Jewelry for Hearing Aids & Cochlear Implants

I just saw the coolest thing! There’s a company called Deaf Metal that makes jewelry specifically designed to accessorize hearing aids and cochlear implants! They’re made of hypoallergenic silver and use a cool little silicone sling to attach the jewelry to your existing device.   

They create designs for people of all ages, gender presentations, and personal styles. For the hearing aid designs, they have designs that go behind the year as well as ones that slide onto the pipe going into the ear. They’re designed to be fashionable but not decrease function!

They advertise them as a way to both help you accessorize and to help you keep your hearing aids as findable as possible in the event that you misplace one, or in the case that your hearing aid slips off. Their safety chain options are available in both adults and children’s designs. 

They’re designed by a Finnish HOH designer named Jenni Ahtiainen who has previously done accessory work for people like Snoop Dog & Bono. She believes that hearing aids & cochlear implants should be like glasses, you should be able to style them to your liking. All the products range in cost from $15-50 and if you only wear a hearing aid in one ear, many designs offer the option of purchasing an earring for your other ear so you can match! You can see her other design work at @gtiejenni and @gtieneckwear.

Deaf Metal sells & ships worldwide (USA, Canada, Australia, Great Britain, Norway, Finland, and France, to name a few) from their online store and their amazon shop. They also have some brick and mortar retailers that carry their designs in Norway and Finland. 

You can find their website in this post’s sources.

This isn't me going "why isn't anyone talking about this??" but since I haven't seen anyone talk about this yet other than news bots of dubious sources, Haiti just experienced a magnitude 7.2 earthquake, eleven years after the magnitude 7 that devastated the country and led to a shite international response that exacerbated the devastation. A tsunami warning was issued

People post Greece as an aesthetic whether it's our mythology or our beautiful islands. Now we need you more than ever. Our country is literally burning, we have no help, no resources and new fire fronts are developing each hour and heading towards villages. People and animals are in danger. The fires are not going out and it's windy. Please share this, spread awareness. Greece is always first to send help when other European countries are in need of help. Please share.

hey okay so im gonna make a post about this to help boost my chances of actually making this happen.

im a black nonbinary lesbian trying to escape an extremely white and dangerous (for me) area of the country.

i've been living in severe poverty and not able to find jobs or stable housing for YEARS until I recieved a supportive housing grant, and even with housing i have still not been able to secure a job for over a year. the city i live in also has some of the highest housing costs and homeless populations in the entire country. if you dont know about the racism in Portland, Oregon then i humbly suggest you look into it, including how black exclusionary laws existed in this state until the 1920's. i have (white) family older than that.

also, with protests all over the country and a rise in governments cracking down on anyone labelled an anti fascist, or friends with people who were, people close to me have been targeted by violent fascists and frankly i dont want any part of that shit. my childhood neighborhoods have been gentrified and now the places where i grew up are being targeted by fascists and the KKK.

i need to leave this city so that i can thrive. im trying to raise $1,800 to cover gas and for an apartment in the place i want to go. its so much because i have a big puppy who's only gonna get bigger and i need to plan for pet rent/deposits. i'm also going to be doing doordash and am still applying for jobs like mad but i really need help raising this. please reblog & boost !! here's me n the pup

I just want to remind everyone how affordable buying food from indigenous tribes is. I live in a major city and I was able to purchase and ship (15) pounds of fish from back home to myself for cheaper than I could buy it from a grocery store here in the city. Yeah, shipping has its own environmental factors but I was able to support an indigenous owned business while also getting my groceries at a lesser cost. (Buying in bulk is always a good idea if you’re planning on having something shipped to you)

Some tribal owned grocers that ship:

Bow and Arrow (Ute Mountain)

Native Harvest (White Earth)

Red Lake Fishery (Red Lake)

Wozupi (Mdewakanton Dakota)

Ramona Farms (Gila River)

Tanka Bars (Oglala)

Indian Pueblo Store (Pueblos)

Twisted Cedar Wine (Cedar Paiutes)

Ute Bison (Ute)

Seka Hills Olive Oil and Vinegars (Yocha Dehe Wintun)

She Nah Nam Seafood (Nisqually)

Sakari Botanicals (Inupiaq)

Honor the Earth (? Anishinaabe)

Nett Lake Wild Rice (Boise Forte Anishinaabe)

Passamaquoddy maple (Passamaquoddy)

BONUS: coffee :)

Yeego Coffee (Navajo)

Spirit Mountain Roasting (Yuma Quechan)

Birchbark Coffee (Anishinaabe)

Thunder Island Coffee (Shinnecock)

Please consider donating and sharing this post! I also have made posts on instagram and twitter that you can share. Here's also a link to proof (bc for whatever reason people think I'm scamming...like I'm making this up for fun? lmao.)

Hello, I am remaking my donation post because it died, and I still really need help. My name is Az, and I live in the PNW where we are experiencing the effects of climate change and the temperatures have stayed up over 110+ for the past week. I am Black, Muslim, bisexual, and intersex, so it’s very important for me to have privacy at my house. Currently, the fence around my backyard is see-through and chain link (only one of the sides has those privacy filters, but they don’t work very well.) It falls down on windy days, as it’s very damaged and old. I have very racist, Islamophobic & homophobic neighbors on all sides. One of my neighbors even threatened to hurt my dog, Maggie, if she ever saw me walking her in front of her lawn.

Please help me build a privacy fence that can lock to keep my senior dog and me safe. Intersex and Muslim bodies deserve to go outside without dying of heat stroke. If you can’t donate to GFM, I’ll post my other links below. Thanks in advance for your help! I really, really appreciate it. ✊🏽🖤

We joke about the neovictorianism that wearing masks brings about, but yesterday one of my students pulled his mask down to drink some water, and the girl sitting beside him exclaimed: "I have never seen your mouth before!" and he blushed and covered his mouth with his hand.

It was just... iconic.

[venenumpple]

Ok so this post is extremely long and I put it all together for my blogs Feeling sad page but as I don’t have a huge amount of followers I realize so many people are not seeing this information so I’m posting it here too!

alternatives without harming yourself:

holding/squeezing ice.

splashing your face with water.

getting a rubber band and snapping it against your skin (this could hurt, though it’s better than other ways that people usually choose to self-harm).

take a hot shower or bath.

eat something sour. it will take your mind of the urge. (lemon, sour lollies)

massage where you want to self-harm.

get a red pen or red paint and draw/paint over where you usually self-harm.

remind yourself as to why you shouldn’t do it. (scars, harms organs, leave memories etc…)

describe what you are feeling. (is the urge/pain in your chest, fists, legs, arms, head).

killing yourself will not help. it is not a solution.

you have your whole life ahead of you. you have so many more years that you can accomplish things in. for example;

having a family.

getting married.

to watch the sun rise.

to watch the sun set.

to save someone else’s life.

finish school.

get your dream job.

to laugh.

to smile.

to go camping.

travel to new places.

to wake up every morning to the person you love.

friends.

family.

to keep that promise you made.

to accomplish a goal.

to meet your idol.

to listen to new music.

theme parks.

video games.

chocolate.

to be able to look back and say “i made it”.

what you’re going through is temporary.

in case you need to hear this:

you are loved.

you are wanted.

you are needed.

you are beautiful.

you are handsome.

you are important.

you are not alone.

you are okay.

you are strong.

you are worth it.

you are smart.

you are not a failure.

you are useful.

you are going to be okay.

hello everyone, it has come to my recent attention that the statutory age for sexual consent in the Philippines is twelve years old, 12.

Can you believe that? To me its completely unbelievable, because of this more and more r4pists can get away with this and victimize more minors.

Please help us and sign this petition.

^ if the link didn't work then please try directly copying this

https://www.change.org/p/philippine-congress-increase-the-age-to-determine-statutory-rape-in-the-philippines

Please help and spread this info. You just have to sign the petition to help.

I'm sorry about the tags not relating to what you're looking for if you've searched one of them, I don't know anything but that on how to spread the word. If it bothers you please ignore it, I'm sorry.

help an autistic transmasc 19 year old eat

hi, i feel guilty for posting again but i really need help.

a couple months ago i got into a head on collision with a speeding driver and it totaled my car and left me injured and in debt. the insurance company ruled in the other persons favor since the police gave me a citation for not yielding (even though i did) and they let the other person off for speeding since it was rush hour friday. i have chronic back pain now and i owe the state an amount of money they refuse to tell me for damage to a crosswalk signal the other car did when they bounced off me

i have no money right now at all since i can’t work, have no mode of transportation, and have no income. i have my medication for this month but i know i won’t have money to refill it next month. i completely gave up on my HRT because of this and it makes me extremely dysphoric

im so anxious every single day because of food. sometimes i just can’t help myself from having breakdowns and crying because i just don’t ever feel alert or safe. i spend most of the day sleeping, partially because of depression but mostly just because i’m physically exhausted. i’ve lost a significant amount of weight this month and no matter how hard i try to stretch the money i have it just isn’t enough to be able to eat consistently every day.

if anyone could give me any amount, even a couple dollars, i’d be extremely grateful. if you can’t donate, PLEASE, PLEASE reblog this. i’m really desperate right now and i feel like i’m not going to be able to make it out of this without help.

if you need any sort of proof or confirmation that i’m telling the truth feel free to message me. in general, please feel free to message me- i’m honestly feeling really alone right now and some encouraging words would be really nice.

I’m not on tumblr because I really like it necessarily, but I am a twenty-something young professional in a really formal and prestigious field, and I woke up this morning and wrote a draft of like 400 words of meta about a cartoon character, and like, where the fuck else am I supposed to post that? Facebook? Twitter? You can’t post about anime on facebook. People use their actual photos there. I need somewhere to be weird in peace where there aren’t any employers.
