I just got my first hearing aids after a several year struggle with State and private agencies to get funding. Talk about frustrating! Well, getting used to them is awkward, as I guess anything new and worthwhile is. Using a telephone is a pain. I have to adjust them before answering, and hope I don't miss the call in the meantime. And I found out that my truck makes all sorts of odd noises! I have to take them out when the grandchildren come over. The noise a 3 year old girl and her one year old sister can make is amazing! So far, the batteries have lasted a bit over a week with me turning them off every night. Keeping them clean has been no problem, but they make my ears itch! And they scream at me if I get my finger close, like when I am searching for the filament to take them out, or if I hold the phone too close. But it is nice to be able to hear again. I had to wear hearing protectors when working heavy machinery like a backhoe, power saw, and drills, even with them set at their lowest setting. Anyone else have experience with this type and brand?
