Bionic ears

[cathrowan]

I got fitted with my first pair of hearing aids a month ago. Some of my friends complain about theirs. I'm having an excellent experience and am so glad this technology exists. I had no idea how bad my high-frequency hearing loss was until it was compensated for. Our dishwasher makes a soft chime when you press a button! Who knew? (Not me.)

Yay! Hope they're easy to get used to.

One friend complained that they itched. Mine don't anymore. I've gotten used to the sensation of having something in my ears, and can mostly tune it out the way I do the weight of glasses on my nose.
