Lucky to be able to hear anything at all! Totally deaf in right ear and have borderline normal hearing up to 1Khz then dramatic drop to -70dB at 2Khz and then slowly recovers a little at higher freqs. About 20 years ago a dealer put a "demo" hearing aid on me and turned it on. For the first time in my life, I could imagine what normal hearing might be like: crisp, clear consonants and not too loud. I almost cried while listening to it. I ordered one, of course, and two weeks later I put it on and it was junk. Not even remotely close close to the "miracle" demo I heard. I've gone through a lot of hearing aids and have never found anything that came even remotely close to the demo I heard twenty years ago! How could that possibly be?!? I DON'T CARE IF THE HEARING AID IS THE SIZE OF A CAR TIRE! I WANT THOSE CRISP, CLEAR CONSONANTS AGAIN!!! If can be done twenty years ago, surely it can be done in 2010. RIGHT?? 1964 congenital rubella syndrome. Lucky to be able to hear anything at all!
