I got a hearing aid today. Why? Why not? I haven't used one in five years so I decided to get one.
I have totally forgotten on how loud the world is. Especially cars driving by outside.
Within ten minutes of turning my hearing aid on, I already have a headache! Go figure! I was surprised that I didn't get dizzy, so that's good.
The luxury of being deaf is that I can simply turn off my hearing aid if it gets too loud. Hearing people don't have the luxury.
I have heard computer tapping, people talking, screaming, walking, even when they are fixing my hearing aid (while it's on), I can hear the scuffling of it and also paper. Cool!
Don't get me wrong. I'm proud to be Deaf and will and want to remain Deaf for rest of my life.. It's fun to have a hearing aid to get sense of what annoys hearing People! (Just kidding!)
Love ya all,
Michael
