Using My Hearing Aids

When I first got the hearing aids it was so overwhelming and it took me months to get used to them and use them regularly. They've improved my life dramatically but they aren't perfect. Just because I have them doesn't mean I can hear perfectly. I still don't wear them in the car or at home because it's too noisy but I do wear them at work. It has helped a lot with talking on the phone and interacting with my co-workers. Now that I am back in school I am so grateful to have my hearing aids. I can hear my teachers clearly no matter where I sit in class. I can follow along better in class. I've also been more social because of my hearing aids. I am able to have conversations without pretending that I understood. I also participate more in class because I actually hear the question. I'll never have perfect hearing, it'll always be artificial but it is so much better than the muffled world I was in before.
