Well, well. I’ve succumbed to the pressure of surviving in a world of hearies and had a digital hearing aid fitted. To be honest, I only had it cos it was free and thought I may as well!

It’s certainly different from my trusty analogue hearing aid. The limited hearing I have always seemed “clear” with analogue. In contrast, the digital is more “echoey”, in terms of sounds reverberating in my ear canal rather than just a straightforward sound. What I do like is the fact that you can change the programme so that it cuts out background noise – this feature could come in handy, although switching the aid off completely usually solved the background noise problem anyway.

I digress. The digital aid is potentially useful. I’ll give it a try and see how I get on with it. I was joking with Rachel when I saw her after it was fitted: “your fiancé is hearie now, babes!”. LMAO.

If you don’t think I’ve explained it all clearly, then piss off. What do you expect from a deafie ffs?!
