Hullo darkeness my old friend....
Yes my friends, I do not hear too well without these puke coloured little gadgets in and behind my ears. I do not even hear very well with them. They follow me everywhere, and are part of my life. My hearing loss is now in the 'severe to profound' range, depending on the tones, and promises to be completely profound at some point down the road. Hearing loss has altered my life completely. It has it's up and downs, though I prefer to focus on the ups... when my teenage kids are cranking their music, I simply switch off. If these same sweet kids are jabbering at me about nothing, I smile sweetly, and switch off. And oh boy... do I ever have fun with those nasty telephone solicitors! A silent world has taught me to really SEE what is around me, and for this I am thankful. There is so much in this world to see that I would otherwise have missed.
