Can hear…

First time with hearing aids at this morning’s mass. Heard Father Paul’s soft voice, Maw’s whisper, chimes of bells, church noises of doors slamming and creaking, pews farting and squeeking, papers shuffling, people coughing and sneezing, babies crying and singing.

Got MicroTech?

Got two AXIO ST 32 CIC with Impulse Technology (www.mthearing.com) for both ears. Took 30 minutes to dispense from C.H.A.C. by Mr. Rios. Here are two photos showing the smiling faces to my hearing instruments.

“Designed for vibrant lifestyles, includes 16 channels and 16 bands for optimal high-resolution sound imaging. Includes premium noise cancellation and speech preservation system that provides unprecedented sound quality, ease of listening, and intelligibility of speech noise. Features include: best-in-class feedback canceller, Live 3D Speech Mapping, T2 Remote, Music Processing, Voice Indicators, Appointment Reminder, Touchless Telephone Solutions and Television Processing.”

The Hearing Aid is set to “Best Fit”. The Reminder feature is set to come back after two months. The visit should take 15 to 30 minutes. The T2 is disabled. There are four memories: Normal, Crowd, Restaurant/Party and Touchless Telephone. He combined the second and third setting.

“It sounds like the bathroom.” I said with my new hearing aid.

“I can hear the bird singing!” I exclaimed to my parents as we stepped out into the heavy rain.

Everything sounds louder and crispier. I heard the rain splashing on the road, the vents and signal clicker. Even the parakeets are too loud. I heard the scaping sounds from my jeans against my skin. The crunchy sounds from chewing brocolli was too loud. Maw’s voice is booming and the television sounds normal.

But this volume is set slightly softer for now until the specialist adjusts it in two months.

Waiting for new hearing aids…

The C.H.A.C. appointment is supposed to be ay 4:00pm. We saw two people step out of the building, just when we approached the front door. They both went back inside and they are still talking. This service better be one hour because it is already 10 minutes past the hour. My two elderly parents are waiting with me. It’s still raining heavy.
