I have to take an annual hearing test at work, my hearing has stayed pretty much the same the past thirteen years.
Has the Russian guy posted the link to his beautiful ear protection yet? I haven't been keeping up.
I've been waiting for him to set the hook in all of these BEAUTIFUL posters but no sign of the Russki yet.
LOL, BEAUTIFUL !!And there he is. :-)
You might want to think about a cochlear implant. It sounds as though you qualify, as the hearing loss has to be 30% or more to get them. They're not a panacea, as the surgery leaves you deaf in the implanted ear, but in my case, with the implant in I can pick up sounds at a nearly normal level. But voices are distorted and they sound like speaking through a very old carbon mike on a telephone. That lessens with time and your brain getting used to things.After SEVERAL concerts in my youth to shooting guns without hearing protection on in my later youth I have fairly decent hearing loss in my right ear. Its to the point wherr if im not looking at you when your talking to me from my right I can not hear you at all. My wife thought it was selective hearing untill I did a free hearing check at Sam's one day. When we got the results they showed that I've lost nearly 80-90 % hearing in my right ear and 20-30% in my left. They say I'm not a good candidate for hearing aids yet, but the tinnitus is constant. I'm partially deaf because of my ignorance. Its not all bad though, when my wife is chewing ass I just turn and put her on my right and every few minutes say uhh huh, your right, I understand.
EDIT: I have to stop trying to reply to these before I am fully awake, I can't spell, put a solid sentence together, or use punctuation at all.
