Well, here I go, down the rabbit hole of hearing aids.
I was surprised in the last post how quickly the topic turned to the performance of hearing aids. So in this post I will comment on the function of my hearing aids and I, and some of my readers may get some good tips.
I've had problems wearing masks during covid. The hearing aids have popped out when I'm taking the mask off and on.
Hearing aids are good for some things but they aren't a complete solution. Hearing aids make all sound louder including what you're trying to hear. In noisy places like restaurants hearing is very difficult.
Partners quite often have difficulty with the hearing aids. They are disappointed with the performance. The MM thinks I'm ignoring her and asks me to turn up the hearing aids. There are some frequencies where we don't hear well. Sometimes much of the partner's voice is at the frequency that you don't hear well .
I use batteries. The batteries die in about 4 to 6 days. So you go with one aid working for a while before you get a chance to change them.
Changing some of the wax protection devices can be a challenge.
So I would like to hear some advice to get more out of hearing aids. I hope readers will pick up tips as well as give tips.
