1.) I need 3 different programs in my hearing aids already.
- Work has a noisy ice machine, constant beeping, and noisy customers that want to chat. So I need an adjustment to cancel out the background noise from the scanners and ice machine so I can focus on the customers.
- At home my boyfriend plays his video games while I'm working online or reading. Even though he has the game turned down very low, it sounds like I'm standing next to a jet engine. I need an adjustment to cancel out the background noise from his game so I don't keep yelling at him to turn it down.
- In the car I listen to music while I drive but the wind is so loud against the windows if I have them rolled all the way up. I need an adjustment to cancel out the background noise from a road trip.
Everything is so loud and it's such a different environment for me. It's frustrating to think that I'll have to wait an entire week for this to be fixed... I've waited over a year for these hearing aids so I could hear something, and while I'm so happy that I do have them, I'm impatient with the fact that now I have to wait another week to hear less (albeit, LOUD) things.
I don't believe there will be any trouble hearing my teammates. We do a really great job of screaming out orders when need be.
Practice was great today. I made it through everything, but I did notice that I need to incorporate some potassium into my new nutrition lifestyle because I kept getting the calf cramps that I used to get when I was a kid. And they're happening in my stomach now, too, which is just a deal-breaker. It's like, "Okay, body, I get it, you've had enough!" But I haven't. I never feel fully satisfied from practice unless I leave feeling like I'm going to die.
So how's about my first post, eh? Eh? Anyone? Ah, you've all been a good crowd...
That sounds great Brit! Just got to work out the kinks and get used to them :) Happy for you!
