The cool thing about hearing aids is that you can turn them OFF.
My hearing loss is due to many years in a rock band. I am pretty sure of it.
Can’t turn these ones down ML, he ‘locked’ them! He wants me to get ‘used’ to them, lol, and I’ll never get used to the loudness. I’ll have to go in and have him adjust them. Truly, I turned my last ones up and down too much...
I agree about the band and that may have caused mine too as we once owned a dancehall, as a sideline, and I worked close to the bands!
