Two things.
- I have a brother in law who pretty much said the same things about his aids when he got them.
His solution was screw it I ain’t wearing them.
So he doesn’t. The result is he can’t hear well.
When I talk to him I do not care if he understands me are not. That is his problem not mine. I do not repeat myself to him. - The loud sounds the trouble hearing in noise I went through all of that.
I use to laugh when I would read your brain needs time to adapt.
I thought they were nuts.
I still have problems in certain situations. But believe it are not my brain really has adapted.
My left ear has a bad distortion. Everything I hear in that ear sounds like a broken speaker. A badly broken speaker.
I didn’t think the aids were any good. Didn’t realize it was my ear. Kept trying to have the broken speaker sounds adjusted out. I have adjusted to the broken speaker sound.
I’ve been trying to figure out how to put up my audiogram. It’s very interesting.
To quote my old ENT I have an unusual loss.
Try to stick it out.
It’s in your best interest.
Best regards.
