I got my hearing retested and My hearing oss was bad but its now really bad. I was able to pay for some new hearing aids and it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I will say the pair I "test drove" were pretty decent. I had a chuckle because the guy doing the test was shocked about my hearing. He didn't read my file but he knew it wasn't a natural or normal loss.
They should do me for a few more years. If my hearing goes the way it is I'm not going to have much left by the time I hit 70. I guess I'll enjoy it while I can.
