    My own mother forgot I have a hearing aid and hearing loss when I told her that I found out last week that my hearing loss has progressed she suddenly looks shocked and hurt as far this is the first time telling her. I just shook my head and sighed.

    First hearing aid

    I really didn't think it would be this kind of adjustment to get used to. I've taken it out 5 or six times. I didn't think it would be this intense. Is that normal. Ugh.
