I've been enjoying the last few days of freedom before classes begin again on Monday. I can tell how much the stress of last quarter got to me because all I really want to do is sleep!!!
Well I plunked down $2800 for hearing aids on Thursday. I got the new open ear - these have multi-directional microphones, are waterproof, programmable to my hearing loss, etc. Hopefully they will help me hear better in a classroom setting. So far, though I don't like the way they make music sound; I can't get over the tinny sound. I have them for a month and then go back in for custom settings and we'll be talking about the music settings. As a singer, public speaker, and musician, how the music and my voice sound is important because the way it feeds back to me affects the way I perform.
Today my friend Jackye and I are going to a craft fair where hopefully I can get a few birthday and Christmas gifts. My plan is to be more prepared this year than last, including a Christmas fund with ING, making and buying gifts throughout the year, etc. This afternoon I will spend some time with my knit/crochet guild.
What are you all up to today?
Wonderful! I keep thinking I need hearing aids, but it is mostly in crowds. I think I just get to nervous.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the craft fair.

I first noticed my loss when I was in crowds; hearing loss runs in my family and I'm sure that my years of playing music haven't helped either.
