AnneTeak, no! :):)

Oh believe me, I wear them all the time.... except of course when sleeping, or taking a shower, etc.

Today is the start of my first full day with the hearing aids. The sound has actually improved over yesterday. Yesterday everything sounded like it was coming from a cheap speaker. I appreciated the increased hearing ability. But I was worried about dealing with such cheap, tinny sound...

We tried to install an app on my iPhone while at the doctor's office. My iPhone refused to work with the data connection. I installed it when I got home. So far I like the hearing aids. I still need to spend an entire day getting used to them.

I have some good medical coverage due to my being a senior, etc. Everything was free. We got the best they had to offer. The hearing aids work together with my iPhone. I can answer the phone using bluetooth and the hearing aids. I have 95% hearing in my left ear. The right ear is totally gone...

Thanks, everyone, for the birthday wishes.

You may have heard I lost hearing in my right ear a couple months ago. A blood vessel burst (that is a rare ocurrence). It can't be repaired. I had my hearing test to confirm the hearing loss, and immediately saw an ear, nose & throat specialist. I got the new hearing aids two weeks later. I'm...

I'm not quite sure how to answer the question of hearing aids. The Ear Nose and Throat doctor said I medically qualify for hearing aids. She mentioned something that sounded like BiCros. It apparently captures sound in the right side and transfers it to the left side?! I have an appointment on...

Thanks for your support everyone. It's been a rough year or so. My brother died in June of 2024. My step mother died in February 2025. I really can't handle social situations. I just can't hear anyone. Let's see if I can get hearing aid(s), and how much they help.

I've been struggling with a bunch of health-related problems in the past year or so. I have type 2 Diabetes, but am managing it well enough. Around the beginning of February I lost hearing in my right ear. I had an MRI done this week. A blood vessel in my right ear ruptured. There is no cure...

I was a senior in high school. We lived in a small New Hampshire town. Children from 7 different towns took the bus to our new school. My brother and I went to the same grade all through school. I wanted to exercise my independence. I asked the bus driver for permission to sit in the back of the...

Yes Domestic Goddess, you indeed earn your name!

I was 49 years old when I married my first (only) wife. We knew each other in our teens. (1966-1970). We sang in the church choir together. Jump ahead to 1999. I joined Classmates.com, and reconnected to her. I flew from Florida to Maine to see her again, after over 30 years. We had a good...

Wow! I'll have to get my haircut more often. I was going about a year between haircuts. I was cutting my own hair. This time I splurged and had a professional do it!

Thanks, Pinky!
