Well I was supplied with a "pokey", when that broke I went back and got
another one, different model (pokey I mean). I simply put mine in at the
hearing aid centre and only take them out when swimming, bathing or
sleeping, got used to them in no time at all. The only problem is that
every so often my ears itch inside, a small price to pay, though the aids
themselves were not of course.

I wore them on and off yesterday but they'll take some getting used to.
Coming out of the hearing assessment centre, where they were fitted, into
the very busy city roads was terrifying!

The clatter of my keyboard is amazing.

When it rained I thought it was hailing, the noise on the carport roof was
so loud.

I haven't put them in yet this morning because I'm not risking being totally
deafened by the crunch of my Grape Nuts :-)

Today I'll go into the garden and listen out for slugs.
