I got mine two months ago from the VA. I had a traumatic hearing loss 50 years ago from a rocket blast in Vietnam. For most of the last 50 years analog hearing aids were ineffective because all they did was amplify across the entire spectrum. The new digital ones solved the problem because they can be tuned to amplify only the part of the spectrum that’s damaged. Thank goodness for technology. For most of five decades I couldn’t hear or understand what women were saying. Now I can hear and still not understand.

How wonderful and courageous of you to share this, Terrell. It’s humbling (and scary) when our bodies start to age and falter, so reading this beautiful, positive take on needing a little help will be invaluable to so many. Thank you for your generosity of heart.
