Hearing Aids Again..
I've only worn them for a few hours over the last few days as they really irritated my ears to the point the itch was unbearable.
however, today they went straight in and I've worn them all day without a problem. I do wonder how effective they are for me as I've had to turn the sound down to -2 so I don't get all the odd noises I was hearing.
I'll stick with them but don't see me wearing them all day every day as, at this point, I don't see there's much or any advantage.

I only live with one other person and his hearing is probably worse than mine is without hearing aids. Hasn't made much or any difference to the tv volume.
I know exactly what you mean. Everyone can hear those sounds but the brain filters them out and people just don't notice them.
You are only hearing them because your brain has forgotten to filter them. It is important that you stick with your aids, it won't be long until you realise you haven't heard those annoyances for a few days.
