Alright so we all know getting old comes with it own set of issues... Some of them are just flat out old man issues that come with age... However I am trying to deal with the fact I am just not an old man yet but I am having to deal with hearing issues for years now.. Started about 5 years ago and has only become worse every year.. (60% hearing loss in both ears?) I did the right thing and tried to ignore if for a few years just waiting for it to "Self heal" but that just didn't seem to work. Then add the mask BS to it.. And forget it.. Cant understand anything..... So it was time to do something.... And after many Dr visits, specialist and again... waiting I finally pulled the trigger and as of this week am fitted with bran new set of old man hearing aids!!!! The first day it was really exciting as holy crap!!!!! I CAN HEAR AGAIN!!... Probably more than I want but man was it over due... I wish I had done it years ago... I had no idea what I was missing since hearing take years to degrade... While I am really excited on what I can hear today I am not really excited on the reality of knowing I am now locked into managing yet two more devices and accessory's for the rest of my life .... (A bit less than exciting to be honest)... Just having a hard time accepting at my age but then again... Its not like I have a choice... Like my wife says... I am a newer model with HIGH mileage.... But accepting the 10K price tag and the responsibly of not losing them, breaking them or jumping in the river with them on just doesn't have me excited any longer..... (I am looking forward to hearing how RAD our boats sounds!)
Have any of you out there had to deal with the same..? How long did it take you to adjust? Did you stick with it...? Cant say I care too much about the looks as they are much smaller these days compared to my grandpa Gorge style from way back when I was a kid and I already landed the wife (ha ha).... But concerned about sticking with it..... F O R E V E R...........???????????????
