Let me think about this. Rush always said his hardest time hearing is a large room with many sounds.

---

I can’t hear at all in a large room like a restaurant or wedding at all. Even the waitress or waiter trying to take my order. My daughters and I go out to eat and we end up using ASL which we all know for most of time as I can’t hear them over 3/4’s of the time. My daughter said give it 3-4 months outside of the house to adjust to them. She said in the house it should take the 3-4 weeks I was told.

Yes, your daughter really seems to understand. Rush said he would focus on his speech but all else he had to filter out. That's why so many people at my work perceived a hard of hearing person as not caring or rude in some cases. They on the other hand were the disrespectful one.

I had to tell someone the prayer was being said on the audio-system and turn her maching off. She didn't hear it. So they spread rumors Martha was rude. When I first started there I picked up her hearing problem. People who had worked with sweet Martha for 15 or more years were shocked to hear she had severe hearing. THEY never took the time to watch her.

They put Martha in the inventory area...I told my supervisor that wasn't a good choice because she wouldn't be able to hear the small lifts and cars used to transport materials. I was ignored. WELL, we got written up because on a fire drill Martha was left inside the building.

when I first got my hearing aids, I could hear the aglets of my shoelaces bounce off my shoes as I walked.

I was easy 30 feet from the printer at work and never heard it. After the hearing aids, i heard everything it does and it hummed all the time.

Restaurants or any room with high ceilings, I’m back to reading lips during conversations. Though I can hear clear the conversations behind and around me.

I have wireless headphones for my TV. when I wear the hearing aids, I hear everything but the TV.

I’ve had Hearing aids since 2012 and my brain still hasn’t identified useless noises.

I know I shouldn’t but for the most part, but the cacophony sometines is just too much, I don’t wear ‘em.
