I have hearing aids--in- the- canal type. My high frequency hearing is shot--my charts look like a ski hill.

I play in a three person band. I sing and play guitar, and there is a fiddle and Irish whistle and harmonica.

I'm having all kinds of problems. When I have both aids in, my guitar sounds incredibly harsh, and when I sing, its like being in a sound booth. The frequencies of the whistle and fiddle make my hearing aids ring with feedback, and my tuning is unreliable as I pick up overtones.

Apart from that its a barrel of laughs. I usually end up going with one hearing aid.
