Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / February 2006OTP Hearing Aids
Well, I finally went and done it - I got hearing aids. I picked them up yesterday and am now learning how to live with them. A few sounds are surprises. I didn't know the dining room chairs (swivel type) were so noisy! I also will have to learn to speak louder! That surprised me. I have my first meeting at Toastmasters with them today - that will be fun. One of the most pushing reason for getting the hearing aids was that I couldn't hear one speaker and she got the ribbon for the best speaker of the day! We shall see. BTW I don't remember if I told you or not, but I'm planning on putting some pictures from Spain, Germany, and Ireland that I took in 1997. I just checked and I see that there is an empty folder! :-( I will fill it this afternoon. Well, time to get ready for Toastmasters. Here we go! Loujean PS I meant to put this here this morning, but was in a hurry and oops. LouJean, This is exciting for you. Let us know how they worked at the meeting. debbie m. > Well, I finally went and done it - I got hearing aids. I picked them > up yesterday and am now learning how to live with them.

Congrats! I've been wearing hearing aids for over 15 years and they are such great help. There is supposition that hearing aids will bring you back to your hearing like you were before the ears has loss. That is not true.... Hearing aids help you to use what hearing that you do still have function the best it can so we miss as little as possible. Blessings, David > Well, I finally went and done it - I got hearing aids.

That's almost true - with the new programmable (some have 16 levels) ones, they can almost achieve that. I was very tired yesterday, after coming home from Toastmasters, from absorbing all the additional data I had been missing before. My mom wears them, too, so have an in house source for questions. Mine even have a little switch in them that will shut down the hearing aid when a telephone receiver is brought close enough! No more, "Oops, let me turn down my hearing aid!) Loujean >Congrats! > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] >> >> PS I meant to put this here this morning, but was in a hurry and oops. Good luck and happy hearing in the days ahead! I wear 2 hearing aids and have for a long time. Nanny > Well, I finally went and done it - I got hearing aids. I picked them > up yesterday and am now learning how to live with them.
