I managed to wear my hearing aids for most of Christmas Day but into the early evening I got tired of them and took them out. It's amazing how effective these tiny little aids are. The only issues I have is getting the setting right. I have 80% hearing in my damaged right ear and about 95% in my left but, of course, it's more about the various frequency problems and this awful Tinnitus which I thought I had got rid of about 6 or 8 months ago. I'm going to retry the exercises and see if I can reduce it at least.
The aids do somehow mask it but you still know it is there. The noise of things like breathing or rustling paper, a switch being turned off and so on are quite loud and noticeable now so they seem to be doing a good job. I'm hoping that this company in the USA will ship to the UK, I've got an inquiry out with them about getting some tinnitus relief hearing aids. Someone in the UK has them and they swear by them but when I went to their site they do not ship to the UK!!!! When I asked them they said there are no agents in the UK - Didn't really answer my query but hey!
So off to my daughter's to see her, my other daughter and my grandchildren which will be great. Really pleased to be able to get to see them, it will lift my spirits I hope. Just loaded the car with stuff - it looks as if I am on a humanitarian mission with red cross parcels!
