Yep, I HEAR YOU !! ( Pun Intended) lol

I have been hearing impaired since a very young child, became ill and ran a very high temperature, ended up with nerve deafness. As a child was ashamed to admit it and I was also vane. Met some pretty cruel people along the way, been called every name in the book, only made me a stronger person! Graduated high School and Community college. Married a wonderful lady who has been my ears for 45 years, also have two wonderful Sons. Retired after 35 years, many of which I was a machinist.

Anyway, I am Blessed that I can hear with help from hearing aids. I had problems with behind the ear aids, because of the humidity and sweating. I now wear the in the ear aids and have no problems even fishing in the heat and humidity of Florida.

Good luck and I hope you get that Helix, we only go around once. Soon to be 75 in November.
