Hear Ye Hear Ye

It has been a long time. Disconnect.  Misunderstandings.  Separation.  Frustration.  Judgements.

Being hearing impaired can have that affect on people.  I let that happen to me.  To my family and to my friends.  I disappeared into my own little world because at least there, I felt me, I was me.  Out there was just too frustrating for me and everyone around me.  Even though they tell me otherwise.

That was my story.  Until now.

Come tomorrow, I am finally taking the leap.  Enough blaming.  Enough excuses.

Two new hearing aids with brilliant technology have my name on them. 

TWO.  The past 17 years, I have only had one despite being told I need two.  Ya - who needs to spend money on TWO hearing aids, when I can just get one?  Me.  I do.  I NEED two hearings aids to hear.  To communication, to express, to give, to receive, to love, to understand, to parent -- to live my life how I want.

So please, keep your fingers crossed for me.  These two hearing aids WILL help me to fully expresses every part of who I am in connection and communication with those I love.

Wow. I had no idea. Technology in hearing aids has come a long way, hasn't it? I think they're quite inconspicuous now. Best of luck and congratulations!
