So I’m getting old! And apparently I had a mini heatstroke at one point that I didn’t realize, and it burnt up the tiny hairs in my inner ear. I fought it for a while, but last year I realized I couldn’t locate or in a lot of instances, even hear high pitch like elk bugles or turkey gobbles.
So I finally broke down and got a hearing aid.
It’s a starkey Picasso 1000. I’ve had it adjusted twice by the hearing center.
Is it normal to hear a ton of background noise? I feel like it increased my hearing and sense of hearing directionally, but sometimes speech is still a little garbled if I plug my left ear (hearing aid is on the right side).
How long did it take y’all to get used to one?
