My own voice echoes constantly. Which devices prevent that "talking in a barrel" sensation?

My hearing is perfectly fine in the lower registers, but I suffer from a severe drop-off in the high frequencies. I recently tested some devices, and I absolutely loathe how my own voice sounded. It echoed intensely inside my skull as if I were talking at the bottom of a well (which I have since learned is called the "occlusion effect").

My hearing specialist recommended trying an "open fit" style. However, I am worried about the horrible squealing (feedback) that supposedly happens when you use highly vented ear domes. I need a manufacturer known for top-tier feedback suppression so I can leave my ear canal as unblocked as possible.For those of you with similar "ski-slope" audiograms, which brand preserves the natural tone of your own voice best without constant whistling?

Why on earth did Netflix remove A-Z sorting from the web UI?

I’m trying to find a specific movie in my list and I realized the A-Z sort option is just... gone. It feels like they’re actively trying to make it harder to find what you want so you’re forced to watch whatever their algorithm recommends. I’m so tired of these UI updates that make the experience worse.

Did anyone else feel like the Man on Fire finale was a bit too Netflix-y?

(Spoilers!) I finished the series last night. Yahya was incredible as Creasy, but that cliffhanger ending felt so forced just to set up a season 2. Why can't we just have a complete story anymore? The cinematography was beautiful, but the pacing in the final 20 minutes felt like they were rushing to a sequel.

I watched some travel vlogs and it seems nobody hands out paper menus anymore. You scan a QR code on the table and order through a WeChat mini-program. How do I do this if the mini-program is entirely in Chinese?
