What is wrong with me?
I got my first ever hearing aid today and I love it, I mean it's absolutely wonderful. But it makes me appreciate the relative silence I've grown used to.
I now have a moderate hearing loss in both ears which is progressive (Meniere's). Every time I have an attack some of my hearing goes (am building up to another one as I write this). But somehow getting a hearing aid made me realize that the silence is *not* bad ~ actually in some ways I am used to it and I appreciate it.
I like being able to think without being distracted by all the noise of daily life around me. I like being able to take out the HA when I want to go back to the relative quiet. I like having the HA so I can talk on the telephone more easily and listen to distant sounds I'd never hear otherwise. But I also like being able to go back to the silence.
Is this strange or what? This isn't something I anticipated at all.
