I forget if I've said anything here yet about having the audiologist recommend I get hearing aids, but she did and I am.
Went to get fitted Monday afternoon (2 days ago) after Jeff did a bunch not research on my behalf re models available and their features. Seriously, he's a godsend in this regard. He did the research, we talked about what works with my and our lives, my specific needs and habits.
Picked one called Paradise-70 from Phoneo. Bluetooth capable, can pair up to 8 devices to the aids (whaaaaaaaat) and among other things it should help decrease the levels of tinnitus (pronounce TIN-it-us) I've been experiencing, and should make conversation and media watching more pleasant and rewarding. More relaxing.
I've really been straining. I turn 51 a week from Friday (so 9 days away) but it is what it is. Some people never need glasses into their 80's, I got mine when I turned 40. Okay. We need the tools we need.
