I think I expected and others expected me to hear everything. I remember crying from the pain of hearing crickets and traffic. And pretending to hear whispers.My ear woulkd get sore from the mold and then the soft mold came out and it was horrible! I was sensitive to it and my ear swelled shut. It took several weeks to hear anything at all.Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02185860853151726676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30969977.post-34911127661369938462007-11-25T23:21:00.000-08:002007-11-25T23:21:00.000-08:00I know just how that little girl feels about her h...I know just how that little girl feels about her hearing maids. I wear mine at work, but they come off the minute I walk through the door at home. I explain to people it's like wearing tight shoes all day. When I had normal hearing, to hear never bothered me. But when you wear hearing aids, you don't have normal hearing. You hear so much extraneous NOISE.

I remember back in my high school. When I got home from school, I was so tired, cranky, and mostly headaches. I was so relieved when I take my hearing aides off. I thanked and thanked my parents for allowing me not used my hearing aides all the summer I needed the most!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
