Can You Hear Me Now?
This is a red letter day for hubby Dennis. Dennis is sporting his first pair of hearing aids. So far so good. We were both amazed as to how small they are. The Audiologist was wonderful in explaining the entire process. The best part is that there are no and I repeat no adjustments that can be made by Dennis. He sat in the chair about six feet from the Audiologist with the aids in his ears and she turned to her computer screen with her hand on her computer mouse. She ask Dennis questions as to what he could hear as she made adjustments to her computer screen and how it impacted the hearing aids Dennis was wearing. Talk about wireless transmissions. When the battery for either ear is in need of replacing there will be a definite three note tune that Dennis will hear in the ear that the battery needs to be replaced for. No second guessing there. There will be so squealing noise via the aids as the hearing loss that Dennis experiences is for specific letter sequences.
This could mean so much for Dennis’ day to day quality of life. The aids are not to be worn while lawn mowing or snow blowing, in the shower or in a swimming pool. The daily maintenance is quite easy but very necessary. Dennis and the Audiologist left the sound prof room as Dennis is to have a clear reaction to the noise that was going on in the clinic’s waiting room and halls. When we were traveling home the comments of what Dennis was hearing of the traffic noise was interesting.
Time will tell as to what Dennis will be hearing.
