Lighteninghorse...I was referring to the side effect are usually worse then the condition you are trying to remedy.
Jim...they compensate, but not fast enough. I provider recommended ear muffs. I am currently out of work, so I have not been in a normal construction environment. I can't wait for my follow-up exam...It "sounds" like the higher frequencies are much "louder" than they should be. But then I can't remember the last time I heard those higher frequencies. :shrug:
The hearing aids I received are the CIC {Completely-in-Canal}. I have been wearing them full time (16 hours a day) and since I normally wear plugs at work and on my motorcycle it is not that difficult to adjust to having something in my ears.
Did they restore my hearing completely? No.
Am I satisfied? Yes.
Five days average battery life...I thought with micro-engineering that a small nuclear powerpack would be available by now.
