Going to get my very first HAs. I'm really nervous. Don't know what to expect. Wish me luck. ![Frown :( :(](/community/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png)

Hi everyone, I'm back, thanks for all of the support.
When she first activated them, it sounded really loud to the right (the right has a little bit more loss than the left) so she adjusted it. I was really nervous because I didn't know what to expect in terms of what I was going to hear. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this is!
I can hear footsteps of someone walking across the street while I was at a stop light, I heard my son moving a plastic bag in the back of the car, I heard the leaves on the trees rustle...
I heard my cat making a weird cooing sound when I coddled her. I can hear myself breathe. That was trippy.

Ambrosia, I had a frowny face because I was scared. Getting the HAs is the reality of my hearing loss. It's a physical proof that I am not hearing like I'm supposed to be.
But all in all, I think I'm going to be okay. You guys have all given me support through this and calmed a lot of my fears. You answered a lot of the questions I had in mind and informed me so that when I went in for these appointments, I knew what to ask.
Granted I did not ask a lot of questions here, others did and I looked and searched all over this forum for information.
Thanks to all of you for your warm welcomes here, and for being so kind. Thank you AllDeaf <3
LOL..
After I got my CI's:
- Birds....man, somebody shoot those bastards!!!!! How can anyone stand listening to them all day??? Same tune over, and over......
- I make noise while walking. Took me awhile to figure it out...clothes brushing against each other. Good thing I don't have corduroys anymore.
- Keyboard clicking is a lot noisier than I thought. Even the mouse makes loud clicks.
- I did not know that cats snore.
- Can hear my black Lab lapping his water from across the house.
- The pitch of my car's engine changes as the gears change.
- Raindrops hitting the windshield at speed does not sound good.
- Can differentiate between a Harley and a Japanese V-twin.
- Do people in real life make as much noise as the ones in porn flicks?
- How can hearing people not go crazy having hardwood floor squeaks?
- Now I know why everyone smokes a joint while listening to Pink Floyd.
- Have rear bicycle wheels always been this noisy?
and many, many more..................
