My father in law(85) finally went and got hearing aids a few years ago. I think he had bad hearing for a long time as he always talked really loud. Sometimes he turns the volume down on them when he doesn't want to hear my mother in law.
If people talk clearly I have no problem hearing them. I can't hear people that talk wicked fast, have broken english or talk low.
My ist call was painless cause they told me I could change my address online. The 2nd call was concerning my husbands' cc and I'm afraid I ...... that bi..h off but my calls are done.
Been there, did that. I really wish they would have also tested for sensitivity to the products they sell. The follow up(after the purchase)leaves a lot to be desired. Did you know that over 50% of the people who purchase hearing aids end up not being able to use them for various different reasons? Wish i had known those odds before, not after, i went through all the stuff. And they had no other options of material to offer those with a sensitivity. Hope this isnt taken in the wrong fashion as my only intent is to school those who may in the future be where i am at.
Not at all
Did you go to a Doctor? Of Audiology? I just wanted to point out the difference in care with a Dr. as opposed to Hearing Aid Dispensers. But of course care can be different from Dr. to Dr’s. As well. Sorry to hear you are allergic to the materials used.
Yes i did. The whole experience was rather frustrating and in the end ended up not being able to wear them have and feeling like i was left out in the cold. Unless, of course, i wanted to spend more money. Big racket out there. Buyer beware.
Well, I'm just as careful with my hearing as I can be. I stay away from loud noises as much as possible, don't get water in my ears, etc, etc. My hearing could be a whole lot worse than it is.
I didn't use much yet but my first reaction was Wow! I purposely put it in the zlide instead of a dtl rta thinking that the sweetness might be overwhelming. It was just a rich custard that really grabbed my attention.
I'm surprised that my hearing isn't worse than it is with all the years I've spent around loud equipment.
Trying one of my iffy mixes. The one with the Sweet Rice. I did use .75% INW Rhubarb in the mix just to keep the sweet level down. It's not sweet but not one of my better mixes either. Next up with be the mix with Avocado Cream.
It was a sawmill that did me in. Can't hear yourself think.
One of the iffy mixes I brought home is a custard mix. I expect it to be too sweet but I had to try it.
Thank you so VERY much!
That is probably the only lemonade I don't own. How is it different from others and how strong is it vs. say, Flavorah?
Thank you so VERY much!
I haven't tried the flv as a sft but did use it in a recipe or two and really wasn't that crazy about it. The WF is both sweet and tart and is one of very few I'd consider using as a stand alone. Not to mention even after a couple weeks it's got really good flavor. I forgot to try it when I first mixed it so don't know how it is snv. I think I've also got most lemonade flavors out there and saw this one while building an order and thought what the heck, one more lemonade can't hurt. A while back I did a stone with ten of the lemonade flavors I have. It was pretty decent.
Mine has just been a gradual loss over time. When i was young my dad used to tell me i could hear the grass grow. Lol. That was usually after he said something he didnt think i should hear. Lol. If i am face to face I usually have no problems hearing the other person. But if they are turned or have their back to me, i can tell that they are talking just cant make out all of the words.
Yes, I have the same problem often with making out all the words. I was so happy when I called one of my cc co.'s last week and got a guy who spoke English and very clearly. I had no problem whatsoever hearing him. Not usually the case with phone calls. I had to call my Ins Co. this morning and the woman I got on the phone was one of those speed talkers. After telling her to slow down a half dozen times I finally got through the dang phone call.
Oh, and my daughter has those expensive hearing aids. Her insurance covers most of them. She still can't hear that great.
When I'm not talking quickly, my speech, according to those with hearing problems, is very easy to hear/understand. Something to do with timbre and enunciation. Guess I'll be able to hear myself talking to myself even if/when my hearing goes.
P.S. I learned the other day that newfangled hearing aids let people stream music/shows to them. Chews up battery life, though.
