I got my hearing aid on Monday. It's pretty good, but takes some getting used to. When I got home from the audiologist, I was shocked by how much I don't hear ambiently, especially noise I make when I move around the house. At first I thought "am I really this stupidly loud all the time?"
I wore it today at work and everything went well. It's actually more convenient because it doubles as a bluetooth device, so I can dial into meetings or call, then switch to the music on my phone very easily. Even when something is streaming, it still picks up real-world sounds, like a normal ear.
After a while I felt overstimulated and had to take it out. But all in all, so far it's proving to actually be more of a convenience than another thing I have to do to live normally.
