Hi,
Absolutely right...wearing 2 aids is safer...sort of like surround sound for us and may help somewhat in determining the source of sound. However, when the noise is overwhelming, I need to mute or take out the left (bad) ear for comfort.

I wish I could take out a aid- my level of loss and quality of aids- I would lose ability to converse. I am doing less dinner outings because of this. I lost friends because of my inability - people have less patience nowadays . It’s ok books and critters are better company.
My advocacy will continue. Part of that is making sure Penn care gets praise when deserved . I had 3 tests done yesterday ( one was moved from today - same floor ) and these folks went out of their way- hearing wise and moving appts to make things easier. I joked with them on Ct scan machine not having a male voice . I thanked them and make sure management knows. It is critically important to praise as well to say something when things are off.
