Lord how mercy, I hate wearing my hearing aids and most of the time I do not wear them. My family has a fit sometimes saying they are tried of hollering at me. Plus my Doctor said I miss out on so many topics of what people are saying and I'm missing out on so much. Now my family members that live in my house holler all the time even to other people that can hear very well because of me, since it an habit for them to speak loud. What gets me the most is that when someone speaks to me while I'm in another room, or my back is turn away from them, knowing that I can not hear them speak makes me angry.
Really it does, for over and over I have told family members and friends to speak to me to where I can see them and most of the time I can read there lips if need be. I do wear my hearing aids to church, or other important places that I need to know whats going on, but at home most the time I do not. Is there anyone else that hate to wear their hearing aids or is it me. I know the new hearing aids are much better then they use to be. Personally I like my quite little world, and I love to tune out some of my family and friends when I want too. Gee! Whiz, I'm getting mean in my old age..LOL

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

our highest gas bill when my brother stayed with us for a month was $45.00 with her here our gas bill was $90.00
As for the hearing aids. I don't know what the new ones are like, but if I ever get to the point where I really need them I think I'll be up the creek without a paddle. The inside of my ears are so small I don't think an aid would fit in there. I've seen ads on TV for these things that hook around the outside of the ear and look like a cell phone headset, and I was wondering if that would work for me. I know that it wouldn't be the same as an actual hearing aid, but at this point I don't really need one yet anyway. I do understand about wanting to tune out the stuff going on around you. I have sometimes wished that I did have hearing aids just so I could turn them off and be left in peace. I like my quiet time and I get so little of it these days. Mom and Janet always have to have the TV on. If one of them is up, it's on, and it doesn't matter if there's anything on that they want to see. They just have to have that noise. Ahhhh! The minute I get the house to myself, that rarely happens, the first thing I do is shut off that noisy boob tube!
