After Curt Hamm got this vehicle, his parking problems were over!

On my way to work. Heading for the train station. A very quiet morning, to begin with

Elsinore

Aproaching the big city. A marker of the beginning of another work day. Slept almost all the way in the train

Copenhagen

I´ve had hearing aids for 10 days now.
All in all it´s a life improvement.

I always thought my bad hearing came to me due to an accident in the army 28 years ago, but the doctors didn´t agree. The bad hearing seems to be syncronically equal on both ears and that points in the direction of genetic failure, they said. That means that I´ve had bad hearing all my life!. That might explain SOME of the difficulties I´ve had in school

I read lips and attitudes very well. I´ve been able to go along for a long time with that…but ADHD tendencies and bad hearing is a bad cocktail. The conscentration made the most common meetings at work, very tiering.

The whole thing came up because I had a sore throat after a rough long time with a flu. The doctor send me to an ear, nose and throat specialist. As a routine he made a hearing test on me. After that he sent me to a hearing ambulatory at the hospital. At the hospital they advised me to get a hearing aid. I said ok to that. I´m glad to live in Denmark everyting was free!!! The tiny hearing aids and all the consultations. I´m very thankful!

In the beginning everybody sounded as if they were talking from the inside a big plastic pipe .
The doctors assured me that they could take away about 50% of the auditive inconveniences by adjusting the small maschines and the brain will after a while ajust the rest of the sounds and make them sound natural.

There are a few sounds left that feel SO strange. The sounds of ratteling paper and ratteling bed clothes. IT`S EXTREMELY PIERCY AND NOISY!!

It has been a relief to wear them at work and wonderful to take them out when I get home. There´s far too much noices in the house where I live. Suddenly I heard noises that I wasn´t interested in hearing. Noises from the water pipes. People talking loud in the other apartments etc etc. SO in the evening I put my ears to rest. It´s like taking a confortable woollen plaid over my head!

But all in all I´m glad that I got my new turbo ears.
