I guess I never realized how much hearing loss I had. My favorite word was "huh"kdbgoat said:ROFL! ;D
Years ago I worked with an 84 year old gentleman that wore hearing aids. He loved them except at supper time with the family. He said the silverware clattering on the china drove him nuts.
I have Tinnitus as well. Crickets in my head 24/7Utclmjmpr said:Most folks with a hearing loss loose it over time and forget what "normal" sound levels are. When I first went to aids I had to put them on in the morning, sit in front of the TV, have my wife set the volume to a level normal for her, then "adjust" my aids to a comfortable setting. Then force myself to leave them alone for the day,,,,,,the world was a very noisy place!!
Don't even start me on Tinnitus.>>>Dan
As corny as this sounds, birds chirping this morning, hearing the coffee pot turn off, floor squeaks when I walk across the room, my bones creaking in the morning.
