Tuesday morning I got hearing aids. I knew my hearing was deteriorating so the time had come to do something about it. We went to SAM'S club and bought a membership so we could buy a good hearing aide without having to pay a huge amount of money.
I had a hearing test and was fitted for hearing aids. I am having difficulty adjusting to all the amplified noises assaulting my senses. Yesterday we watched the boys and I went home with a headache from all the noise. I am pretty sure I will need them adjusted lower to save my sanity.
Wearing a hearing aid in the days of COVID also means wearing a mask that fits around your ears. Taking off your masks interferes with the hearing aide that fits over the ear with the battery behind the ear. Charlie has already accidentally pulled his hearing aide out of his ear just by taking his mask off in the car. Fortunately, we were able to find it since it landed on the seat.
I went the following week for adjustments. I think I will like them much better with the extra levels added. Little boys can be quite loud when excited but speak softly at other times.
We have been helping with online classes with the boys so it is good to be able to hear their questions.
