When Fred first had his hearing aids I spoke much more clearly.

They feel very odd !!!

Wish that darn clock would stop ticking too !!!


The right ear hears every tap as I type on the iPad

Got ones that just fit in the ear and don't show unless you really look for,them

Sounds were very hollow so that was tuned down a bit. ,Go back in two weeks to review how I am getting on with them

Was told will probably need turning up a bit as the brain adjusts to sounds it hadn't heard for some time

Feel like I have blocked ears too

I read your ears are connected to your nose and it's connected to your throat ?

Well I am having balance problems

Had problems for a few months and had an inner ear infection so was all wobbly

Was told the hearing aids can help with the balance as well as the hearing

My wife says that I should get my hearing tested, but I maintain that if she spoke more clearly there would not be a problem She has a habit of talking to me from upstairs when I am in the garden shed. If she goes to bed before me, she turns the TV down unless I can grab the control.
