It seems the technology has advanced or we have different kinds of hearing losses, as I'm getting the voices amped that I need and the background isn't a problem. <br />I've thought about the deaf v blind dilemma. We've had a good deaf friend and a good blind friend. The deaf friend can drive and see things which make getting around much easier, but the blind friend has much better communication with other people. New technologies probably lesson each of those issues. But seeing is much more valued by our culture. I've talked to our blind friend about what a city designed for blind folks might look like.

My HA was top of the line when I got it and is really good at catching every background noise ever invented. Human speech, not so much.<br /><br />I relied on one ear most of my life and the auditory nerve is getting bad. I am not afraid of being deaf. I would rather lose hearing than sight.mike from iowahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05493799586846040115noreply@blogger.com
