So I think stressful experiences are when you have to deliver sometimes some bad news to patients, maybe more for a family member, especially with working with pediatrics that, you know, hey, there is a hearing loss. It's a permanent hearing loss. But it's also an opportunity to educate them that, hey, it's not the end of the world. There are things that can be done to help them. But it can be pretty stressful trying to talk to a family about that. The other is when you have elderly patients who cognitively, you just can't do a whole lot more for them. You can make things maybe improve signal to noise ratio, hearing better, but cognitively, they're just not going to understand it better. So there's a limit to how well, like, say, hearing aids can help them. That can be kind of a stressful experience in talking to a family about, you know, it's as good as it's going to be. And there's not a whole lot more we can do to help them hear better. But they do better with hearing aids than without them. So that's always positive.
