    Do you use HAs?

    From when I was four years old, I worn hearing aids. I stopped wearing one in my left because I lost all residual hearing and it was pointless to wear one. I continue to wear one in my right ear to this day!

    Tousi, believe me you won't get any hate mail from me. I agree LOL! The air here is so weird but I am so accustomed to it. If I was to go to another state like Maryland with the country air that they have, I'm a mess, I can't see, I can't breathe. The minute I get back to Jersey, everything...
