  • I’m helping a woman at the retirement village and I thought I’d ask here first:

    Are there apps that can boost audio during calls? Just through the phone and not just putting the phone on speaker.

    This woman was a hearing aid, it uses bluetooth but apparently the app only works on IOS. I’ll look into this and confirm if that’s the case or not.

    This means she can’t really use headphones because she already has things in her ears, and she doesn’t want to put her phone on speaker all the time.

    Has anyone used anything that works and is decent? I’ll look into her hearing aid brand and see what options there are as well.









  • After taking the boys grocery shopping yesterday I’m glad I get most of my groceries delivered. I remember spending Saturday mornings with my Mum at Coles where it takes 1-2 hours to do all the shopping. It feels like a quarter of your weekend is taken up with buying the things you need to survive work for the next week instead of enjoying your free time.

    We would maybe go see one of the sets of grandparents whilst out, but that’s not something the boys have to worry about here. The only grandparent they could regularly visit lives with them.

    The only possible thing is you can go do your groceries at a larger shopping centre here. But I don’t know when I’d let them roam free, and even those places lose their novelty pretty quick when they don’t change and you have no money to buy anything.
