Ready for an Upgrade!


Yesterday, I purchased a new pair of hearing aids.  It’s been 8 years, and I thought it was time to check out the new technology, especially for clarity.  I went to Sonus in Irvine, where I was given a very thorough exam from their knowledgeable and lovely staff. (www.SoCalSonus.com)  I was told that my hearing loss is not too different  from that of 5 years ago.  However, I FEEL like there was a dramatic decrease. The only explanation I can think of is that, since I’ve been writing more about  our limitations and accommodations, I’ve become more focused on my own.  I will receive the new hearing aids in 2 weeks, at which time I will update my blog with the specifics.  I’m ready for some good news!

 Any comments or recommendations will be appreciated.

  2. Thanks for starting this Blog and a chance to connect. I find that the world in general in spite of the disabilities act don't realize the issues of the hearing impaired and then make some adjustments for communication. It took five years for my church to install supplemental hearing assistance! I have found that the Hearing Loss Association of America provides good information on hearing technology and other issues. Please keep up the good work.
