Thanks. I will check out HLAA and a chapter in my area. I rely way too
much on my husband right now. I'm hoping a cochlear will help me be more
independent again. We're traveling in India at the moment. Something we've
done every winter since we retired. But it's a lot more problematic for me
now. So much noise on the street and in restaurants and I miss out a lot
on conversations. At home, it's less of an issue. I can communicate one
on one with girlfriends with no problem. Men are harder. And I do a lot
on my own, bike riding, gardening, swimming and just being at home. Such
is life! I'm lucky to otherwise have my health! Thanks for taking the
time to talk.
