Thats funny. I heard about a guy who had cataract surgery and the day after when they took toe patch off he wanted his old eyes back because now he could see how filthy his house was.

A big thanks to whoever put up the info on Costco. I called them and it sounds like the best deal around.
Tell your Dr about that, mine could be adjusted for that, and she did. Made a HUGE difference.
Now the only time I really notice things is music. It just does not sound "right". I have no doubt I am hearing it "better" but it just seems wrong, too many highs.
But yea your Dr can adjust them. Now several years out I go in every 6 months for a "checkup" they will do a good cleaning and ask if anything needs changing.
Don't understimate what they can do, I was blown away they could adjust for a car in motion.
I generally like "foreign" movies better then the hollyweard stuff anyway. So using CC was not new to me.
Checkout Generation Kill, it is german and basically what Generation War was stolen off of. The german version was about WWII, and is quite good.
They are nowhere near a fix, they are just a tool to help, you will be frustrated with them and want to quit, be assured that continued use, communication with the dr and patience will help speed the process. You will hear what sounds like chaos with all the extra noise you have been missing. I have learned that I can change the volume up or down to suit me. Give your brain time to learn to process all the noise. I put them in to drown out the tinnitus with a white noise that isn't so obnoxious.
Thats pretty much my situation. People that speak in certain octaves I cant hear, especially out of my right ear. I'm not to vain to cup my hand to my left ear and ask What?
I do the same thing. Never was one to worry about vain ideals.
NO! Hearing aids are NOT ear protection
As said previous, they amplify EVERYTHING. I have to have them for meetings. I can still turn my wife off when needed.
Just had a hearing test done, and as expect have big loss in my mid and high freq hearing. The doc said that there is a big convention in Minnesota the end of this month and that aparently there has beensome sort of break through which they will learn about. May be significant price reduction for the first persons to get the new tech. Ya'll might want to chat with your hearing doc. about that. Prices arent as bad as I had heard.
this might be the perfect opportunity to get entered into the system, it can takes months based on what others tell me. Once you are in then it is much better to get benefits quicker. Considering the expected life of the aids, I would insist on proven name brands. I think everyone caters to Vets if their is big money involved.
