I went to Hill AFB today to see the audiologist for the third time in a month. She finally ordered my new hearing aid. Old one is dead. I couldn't get the inside the canal type since my hearing has gotten to the "severe" hearing loss levels. So, I got a behind the ear one. I went with a black one with chrome accents. It is water and shock proof. It has bluetooth so I can connect it to my phone and has a blutooth remote I can plug my ipod into for wireless music. Listening to earphones while in uniform or running on a base even in civilian attire is prohibited, but I will soon have a loophole.
