Good to hear that you are doing so well with NOTHING but your senses now, Nucky.

My hearing aids do NOTHING for me. I've had (SLOWLY) progressive hearing loss since birth, got my hearing aids only 10 years ago. They're high-tech in-ear aids, with a telephone button that eliminates background noise, blah blah. When they clog up with wax, they act as earplugs. So I have to take them out and clean them in the middle of dinner, or in the check-out when the cashier is trying to ask me something. The battery dies at the worst moments too.
So I just don't bother to wear them now. I'm so used to having "bad" hearing, it's easier to just tell people to face me when they're talking to me so I can read their lips.
Or tell them to ENUNCIATE and speak one word at a time. They don't have to speak louder - just clearer.
