Hearing aids

[RanchRoper]

I have tinnitus but it was that Zeppelin concert in '72 I think...

My tinnitus started back in the 70's when I stupidly fired some +P loads in my snub-nose 38 Special without ear plugs or muffs. It's not terrible but I do sleep with the tv or radio on, it's pretty annoying when it's dead silent.

Ive had tinnitus for a while. I think mine is from loud pipes on motorcycles and big trucks. I have one hearing aid but its old. My wife keeps yelling at me when I say huh. Sometimes I say huh just to see what kind of mood shes in.

I went to an indoor gun range to shoot my .22 cal revolver. I was dumb enough to forget my hearing protection. Anyway I now have to wear hearing aids in both of my ears. I get tinnitus once in a while, but it isn't to bad. Even with the hearing aids I still have a hard time hearing some stuff.

This is a great thread especially since I am in need of hearing aids. My wife has been beating me up to go get checked and reading this has convinced me to go. I'm a Costco member and on Jan 1 there is an upcoming change to my health care coverage that will cover some of the cost. So now I have no excuse not to go.

After the test they will suggest a model and will let you try some in the store if available. I was amazed the first time. Being able to hear other peoples conversations made me feel like I was doing something I shouldn't. When mine came in and I was driving home I found it very distracting to hear all that extra sound. Good luck and let us know how it works out for you.

Ernie thanks for starting this. I will report back.

No wonder that it only happens when my wife is talking to me.
