Sheri has been bugging me for some time about getting hearing aids. I finally visited the audiologist in Kingman and was referred for hearing aids for both ears to help with hearing higher tones. Higher tones help distinguish some consonants, especially s's.
Whether this lack of hearing is due to loud noises, such as at Del Monte, or listening to kids' garage bands or is genetic I could not say. Suffice it to say others in the family have also had hearing loss, siblings and kids, which may mean it is more genetic.
I have had tinnitus for over twelve years. There was the hope that adding hearing aids may effect this for the better. However after three weeks I have not noticed any difference.
When I have the hearing aids in sometimes they tickle the insides of my ears which canbe frustrating. I have always had dry flakey inner ear and the hearing aids do not help.
