yes it makes sense, when I was 21 and got my first pair of hearing aids on my own they were little in the canal with a little pearl tip to pull them out. they didn't adjust to my different tones of deafness and it made the stuff I could already hear sound like train horns and it made the other stuff just a little louder. Now I wear a pair of beltone fullshell digital hearing aids and help me hear the stuff I have problems with instead of every sound. I have trouble with things being clear anyway because like most everyone else here we are deaf in certain sounds and no two persons are alike. I hear more high pitched sounds like the sound of the T.V. coming on but don't hear the bass off of a really good song I like, I feel it more than I hear it. My hubby has his own little hand signals when I haven't put my aids in for the day, when I get too loud he makes a downward motion with his hand to let me know I'm too loud.
