Hi,

Yes, I suppose by the time I get these aids and wires plugged in, you could quite accurately say that I "hear differently!"  Anything but "hard of hearing" for me please!

I had been calling my hearing loss a disease (because it runs in the family and is degenerative) but my surgeon said, "No, don't call it that, call it a disorder."

In the end, call me anything, but don't forget to call!

Keepin' the faith!
