Got Two New Hearing Aids Today
got the above with domes instead of moulds - lady was fantastic. This is the first time I have worn 2 hearing aids in two ears (we've only got 2 ears) in my life time so they do sound a bit unusual but she she told me to give them 12 weeks. It will be unusual for me but I will do my best to get used to them.

Like hearing noises I never heard before - I have only got them 2 hours so it is a bit soon - I hope when I get to the park I will be able to hear the birds singing and then my heart will sing too.
Like when I was in the room with her and after the aids went in I said to her "oh I hear a hum" - yes she said that's the fan. Then I heard another noise I can only describe the noise of the world outside the room. Time will tell.
Sick of waiting for the NHS I bought in-ear hearing aids on line (£80). They seem very good. It does say in the instructions that you will initially hear high pitched sounds that you aren't used to - squeaking floor boards/furniture, tinkling water, etc. but over time your senses will "edit out" those noises as insignificant.
barry - the audiologists have been wanting me to wear two aids all my life but I just couldn't stick all kinds of noises in both ears. she did say it will take 3 months for my new/right ear to get used to the new noises.
I laughed to myself - I was putting dishes away last night and the new noises sounded like the OK CORRAL - really noisy. thought was smashing plates everywhere so there goes.
As I have said before you cannot put hearing into ears that literally don't have any hearing but I'll give it a wee go or a big go LOL
