Bionic Woman Upgrade

Last summer I was staying with a friend who is a couple of years older than I am. I said that I thought my hearing was getting worse. She revealed to me hat she had been wearing hearing aids for ten years. I had no idea. She then told me that she went to a fabulous audiologist in Cary, who she has sent many friends to see.

I didn’t call the audiologist right away. Then around Christmas I thought, I better go see her and get a baseline test. Well, my baseline showed I certainly did have hearing loss. So I went ahead and ordered hearing aids.

Today I went to get them and be taught all about how they work and make sure they fit well. WOW. They are great. I hardly remembered I was wearing them. I certainly can hear better. The real test will be at garden club tomorrow when I’m in a room with lots of people.

‘I really love that they pair with my phone and have a microphone so I can walk around and talk and look like a crazy bag woman. Russ said they sounded great. Unfortunately he is not home to talk to my from the other room so I can see how well they really work.

I do have the TV on a volume that is about one third as much as I needed before. I don’t mind needing something like hearing aids. It’s better than not being here at all. I have a feeling I will still be loud. I was that way before my hearing got worse so I still will probably have teacher voice. I will just be able to hear my students who are quiet.
