CLICKETY CLACK

At a Convention in 2015.

“You will find it’s a noisy world out there,” the doctor said as I walked out of the Audiology clinic.

After an hour of adjustments, of fittings, of practice using my new hearing aids, and instructions with the tools they came with, I stepped out the main door of the VA. 

“Hisssssssssss,” I heard across the valley from a piece of heavy equipment.  ‘Swish, swish,” from the Valet parking guy’s jump rope.  I could hear the turn signals click, the breaks hiss when you pushed them in, and the tires of every car on the freeway.  All the high frequency sounds I hadn’t’ known were gone, had returned.   There’s a tiny clatter of the keys on my keyboard.  George’s voice causes feedback as he talks louder and louder with far away adjusters. 

Life has a new normal…I’ll let you know how it goes.  So far I am having a lot of fun.
