does not like the heat...

It's too hot here for a redhead. About 19c but stuffy inside and warm outside. My left aid which has recently had a new tube keeps getting condensation really quickly, but I need to redo the tube as the audiologist made it too short- 'looks alright'! It leaves a mark on my ear!

Just now I kept hearing this very high, quick sound and thought my hearing aid was broken- figured out it's my nose making a slight whistle! My boyfriend says I'm not allowed to stamp on the moulds to get new pink ones ;-)

I tried the new directional program last night and it seemed ok, though I changed from my usual seat and sat in the corner next to John and opposite my friends, plus I was quite tipsy so I'm not sure if my opinion is accurate!

The occlusion is bothering me lately, I can't hear myself speak as clearly with them in, and I'm sure I'm hearing better in my right ear. My mum says I'm focusing on it too much. When I take out my aids (eg in the pub to get the condensation out of the tubes) it feels like I'm talking really loudly- but people say it's normal volume- so I talk quieter without them. This is probably why people have always said I talk quietly sometimes and mumble.

  1. Hi. Do you have air vents in your ear moulds at all. I have small vents in mine and it's something I find that helps me.
