The above snap is NOT the new hearing device received today.
The device is rather small, fits behind the ear and is hardly noticeable to most folks. Right snug it fits and allows the ear to pick up sounds long forgot.
Were the device to be any more brilliant, E.T. could contact the old geezer...
One had forgot how loud a truck sounded on the road, or how very annoying a blaring vehicle radio can be. Then there is the sound of running water, the rustle of paper and the creaking floor boards. This old geezer had got used to not hearing many of everyday sounds and to be true, it now seems it was a blessing of sorts.
Truth be told, the hearing device makes hearing normal conversation so easy. Mind, it is but the one ear but it seems to have added much quality to overall hearing.
I tested the device with music and it is brilliant, as is the telly. It seems that telephone has to be sorted out. A call received could not be heard, but then the telephone might have been in wrong place on head. Am told that mobiles will still be a chore.
It is a good thing that running water can be heard, as one must remember to remove the device before showering. Water is the enemy of the device.
There is no doubt that the device will be used. Rather think it will be turned off parts of the day and most definitely will not be worn to bed. For the most part the device delivers more than one would have thought possible. On the other hand, hearing everything is not all it is made out to be. Truth be told, am honest enough to fess up to liking the 'quiet' and more than like will be selective in the use of the device.
Do you know, that is the root of the whole trouble - has been one of the roots at any rate - is people hearing things and then imagining some more and magnifying it and multiplying it. Spare this old geezer from that folly.
Now I will have to pretend to listen to folks I would rather not hear...
