My wife disagrees, but I can hear some without them.
I wouldn't be able to hear some things, like birds, people walking up behind me, most conversations. small aircraft bearing down on me. You know, small things.
I have 20% hearing (80% loss) in my "bad" left ear, and 30%ish in my right.
I know I need them, but I also would have to have them packed away for the most part because they do not play well with water, and cost as much as a new car to replace.
I could use much less expensive headphones connected to an amplifier, but those generally end up with me getting a head ache after awhile.
What is your opinion? Have you done the AT while wearing hearing aids? How did you maintain them?
Batteries should be available about anywhere, and anymore I am getting a month or so out of a single battery, so I don't foresee a problem there. Are there any problems you had that were specific to hearing aids, or with electronics that could be the same a hearing aids?
Thank you for any input.
