Crackle crackle...creak, whifft, shhhhhh, fwupp.
Why didn't someone tell me how loud life was?
I just got my first #hearingaids, & what a difference! <turns tv down to 10 from 14> At first, the sound was echoing & unnatural, but some audiologist fine tuning sorted that. "Me" noises are still a bit weird, but will settle as I adapt.
What I'm really noticing are background noises - crackling dry grass, traffic, thongs (feet) creaking as I walk, footsteps, touching things.
