Daily Comment

I had an appointment with an audiologist today.

As you all know, long overdue. He confirmed what I suspected, that my hearing had degraded in the 8 or so years since my last test.

He also confirmed that my current hearing aids are broken, and that, even if they weren't, they were completely unsuitable for my kind of hearing loss. Not useless, but almost.

I initiated this visit after my vacation in LA - where I wore my aids more than I usually do, and noticed some problems.

I had decided that much of the problem was due to my ears needing a professional cleaning.

I was wrong. 

What I needed was a functional set of hearing aids I could wear all the time, programmed for the current state of my hearing.

I'll have that sometime before my birthday.
