So much rage.

Probably the most annoying thing about having hearing aids is that even when I do have them in... If I am watching TV, I need the subtitles on... STILL.  I mean, really?  Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of having hearing aids?  I need the subtitles on while I'm watching TV MOST of the time (unless it's a movie or show I'm familiar with) because it all sounds garbled to me.  Like, seriously, here is what it sounds like:

And that's what it sounds like when I have my hearing aids turned up and the volume on the laptop turned up!

I don't think I need them adjusted again, I mean, they're good for in person conversations and for work, but I think there might be a reaction between them and other electronic devices?  There just doesn't seem to be a happy medium... I actually have to take my hearing aids out if the program doesn't offer subtitles, and put my headphones in order to hear.

I'm beyond annoyed.

  1. You might need something adjusted. Maybe frequency. When I got my new ones a couple months ago, I went back becuase of music and female voices. They sounded digitized/ distorted. They did some calibrations and now it is not nearly as bad. I still notice it sometimes, but not like it was. Tell them, might help :)
