Hmm…let’s ask the guy currently on an airplane! Or was, back in 2009 anyway.

Seriously. What are you doing with a treadmill that high up? Are you on the Jetsons? You know that’s a serious safety hazzard.

I thought about asking the militia guy, but that would be too easy. Plus, since there isn’t an ask the mason thread, it would present an unfair bias in favor of one side. So instead, let’s ask the audiologist!

I’m aware of the controversy, but as an audiologist, it is my job to educate the parents (whether deaf or hearing) about the various options available to them. I must also support them in their decision to go whichever way they feel is best for their child. I usually have an opinion one way or another, but I keep it to myself because I feel it would be unethical and unfair to voice it, since it may unduly influence parents over what can be a very difficult and emotionally-troubling decision that only they can make.

Hmmm…I hope that this helps settle the matter for you.
