Hearing Life to its Fullest

Enjoying Every Moment of the Wedding
My Grandson who was the usher at his sisters wedding and knew I had new hearing aids asked me if I heard his sister say "I Do".  I answered, "Yes, I heard them both!"  It's great having new hearing aids, I hear so much more.  Here at the wedding I was in a group with my six sisters and could hear them even  with the background noise and usually two of them talking at the same time.  At home I put them in right away in the morning and have coffee on the porch because now I can hear the birds sing.  When I play Bridge I hear the bids now.  Before I didn't hear the bids on my right because of my hearing loss in my right ear.  So it's great I love my new Widex hearing aids.

A Fun Day Down the River
I have been having fun celebrating my 76th birthday.  It included kayaking down the Crow Wing River with 5 sisters, 1 brother and 4 brother-in-laws!!  I would like to have my story shared with others.  I didn't realize how much of life I was missing out on until I got my hearing aids.  Getting hearing aids was a great decision.   Now I'm having coffee in the morning while listening to the birds sing versus quietly sitting in the kitchen.  I now hear my children and their spouses as they share family stories. Hearing my grandchildren when they say "I do" or give a speech at school, or whisper a secret is now part of my life.  I don't have to read lips to "hear" the bid when I play Bridge.  These benefits so outweigh the concerns of adjusting to wearing hearing aids.
