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.)

I also have hearing loss in the higher frequencies and there are some appliances whose beeps I don't hear if I'm not wearing my hearing aids. My hearing in the lower frequencies, on the other hand, is excellent.

My lower register is close to normal, but wow did that graph drop at the high end.
