What .. ??
Yeah, back in the day, hearing protection was just un"heard" of .. while I don't yet wear a hearing aid, years of loud power tools, PA systems, etc, have done some damage .. and, as a bonus, I've suffered with tinnitus for a long, long time ..
Tinnitus - Symptoms and causes
My condolences. That would drive me nutty than I already am. I have particular trouble hearing people on the phone. I was dreading calling the phone company to arrange to have my phone/internet disconnected at the proper time because the move to my daughters is in a couple of weeks. I was so happy to get a guy that actually spoke Engish and even better, I heard him clearly.What .. ??

Tinnitus - Symptoms and causes
Good morning all.
When hubby forgets his hearing aids, I know it. He says the strangest things sometimes. I'll say "good morning, did you sleep well?" and he'll reply "you go to hell!" I have to stop, think about what I said, then ask him did he really believe I said what he thought I said? And then remind him to put his hearing aids in. His aids link up to his cell phone so he can carry on a conversation without the phone to his ear. So if I see him talking to himself I just hope he's on the phone. At our age I am always on the lookout for signs of impending doom (dementia).
I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Thank you Janet.
I'm still rebuilding my bottom feeder. I wonder if they make pop in coils for one of these? It's getting harder to see to coil these days
I've lived with the tinnitus for so long, you just get used to it .. with me, it's in the upper range of the sound spectrum .. the really odd part is, when I go to a Concert or other generally loud event, it goes away for a time afterwards ..
Thank you Janet.

Although I don't coil, I do re-wick .. picked up a pair of 5x reading glasses at the Dollar Store just for that purpose ..
Maybe you should go to more loud events
I've had glasses for distance since grade school but my close vision was always great til age stepped it. Hubs had several pairs of those dollar store glasses so I guess I'm all set,
Rewicking is easy for me, I still use the cotton bed under my coil. While I'm sure there are better methods out there, I'm not chasing clouds and it still works so I'm not fixing it.
I recoil as little as possible. I still just burn mine off whenever I burn my cotton, then stuff some new cotton in and all is well. I'll use that coil until the poor thing gives out
Well, what a nice surprise!!! This is a great hanging out place! I, too, am content with my REOS and hand-made juice!
What's that old saying? ...if it works...don't try to fix it.
We must be related!!
BTW...I MUST be a glutton for punishment...I"ve been watching the "news" every day. all day, till night time!

Believe me, I know exactly what you mean. When I need to make appointments, I drive to the office (small town) to do it. I have a list of people I can hear clearly on the phone. Right now, it has two names on it.
Ok, while watching a train wreck on another thread, I got bored. I saw 'trophy points' listed in member profiles. What are those for anyway?
I have boycotted the Big News Networks for some time now .. I still watch the Local News most every evening before I settle in with "Wheel of Fortune" or "Family Feud" ..
The Big News Networks, no matter who they are, just try and whip everyone into a frenzy, all the time .. I got sick of it .. bring back Walter Cronkite I say ..
