    Default Got my hearing aids today.

    I went to the VA clinic and got my hearing aids today. And all I can say is WOW. So many sounds I never heard before. I didn't know the basement stairs squeaked. I heard birds singing and even the wind (what little there was) blowing.

    When they did the measurements of my hearing they showed me the graph. It started at the low end of normal and dropped like the obama economy. Now when someone speaks to me their voice is clear as crystal. I'm not saying, what? or straining to figure out what they are talking about.

    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    Glad to hear it, Gaffer!!

    Amen Gaffer. It really is a different World when you finally get to HEAR things you knew were there, but always missed before.

    Congrats, and Welcome to the New World. Wait till someone asks you a question, or says something....and you don't have to say "What'd you say?"

    Happy Day!

    It sure is. The tech said I would probably take a few days to get use to them. But I haven't had a problem. They fit reall good and I have been wearing them all day with no discomfort. It feels weird when I take them off.

    I had a chance to use a demo set about a year ago. Not sure about whether we can get Tricare to help with the costs. Most of my hearing slowly began to go away before I left the navy. As a Radioman. I had to copy hours, and hours of Morse Code drills in training exercises, and when the drills were over. It took several hours for my hearing to return.
    I do know how great it feels for you. In fact. You may find yourself needing earplugs after you get used to them. The sounds you didn't hear before...are now ECHO CHAMBER quality.
    Great to see you are enjoying the New Sounds of Life.
