I go to get fitted for hearing aids Tuesday -

[hedgehog]

I have lost my high frequencies - I can hear the toaster pop up but not the tea kettle whistling. It's hard to talk with most females - women's voice are pitched to high for me to catch everything. Forget hearing anyone if there is background noise. Phones are difficult because the low tones are too loud, the high tones too soft.

The irony here is that I was a faithful user of hearing protection for my entire working life and even used ear muffs at home before it became standard. My hearing was perfect until I had chemo. (Of course, I'd rather be here and partially deaf than have perfect ears in the grave!)

So - wish me the best!
