MSMA (monosodium methanearsonate) is an arsenic-based grass killer. It kills grassy weeds such as crabgrass and goosegrass without harming most turfgrasses. It contains organic arsenic that, according to the University of Tennessee Extension, is less harmful than aspirin.
There are several styles of hearing aids available, from the smallest - Invisible in the Canal (IIC) to the largest and strongest - Power Behind the Ear (BTE), and the very popular Receiver in the Canal (RIC) - made to fit most hearing losses while remaining nearly unseen.
The term Assistive Listening Systems (ALS) is a generic description of several different technologies that essentially do the same thing: they are used to improve the reception of speech for people with hearing loss in situations when it might be difficult or impossible to hear otherwise.
