Hearing problems (Humour)
My hearing is deteriorating. I had my ears tested. In the lower registers, the hearing is less than ideal but not too bad. In the high registers, it is severely low. The result is that I have no trouble listening to male speech but great difficulty hearing what women are saying. QUESTION--should I get a hearing aid?

Re: Hearing
Sometimes it might be better to not hear what they say.........but maybe you should give it a go - I don’t suppose you can try one to see how you get on before paying the full price?oakdale160 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 30, 2018 9:49 pm My hearing is deteriorating.

Re: Hearing
Well, it won't get any better, so if you want to still enjoy life, the answer is a no-brainer. Modern hearing aids are pretty amazing.
Where did you have your hearing tested?

Re: Hearing problems
A friend of my mother’s had a hearing aid with a small remote control.......so you could selectively ‘tune out’ annoying noises!! That’s what I call a good idea

Re: Hearing problems
Yes, you can try a hearing device for 1 week at World of Hearing in Hua Hin. Dennis is the proprietor and is very knowledgeable about hearing and the devices. I've been wearing hearing aids for 13 years. When I first got them I was astonished by what I could hear. I was constantly asking, "What's that sound?" and it would turn out to be the refrigerator or the clicking of the dogs nails on the floor. Prior to getting the aids I was always asking people to repeat what they said and if my back was turned to them I could hear them but not understand what was being said. Hearing aids are the best investment I ever made. If you get a pair get the ones with programing and a remote control to change programs and volume.

My post was meant as a joke--I've got a hearing aid.
