OK Mudcats--I know I'm not alone here... How many of us want to admit we're wearing hearing aids??? I've been wearing them off and on since I was 8. Today, I go for my first "annual" checkup--up to last year, I was on a "every five years" checkup schedule. Last year, I slipped from "mild to moderate" into "moderate to severe," a rather big jump, considering there had been very little change over the previous 30 years. I know this topic has appeared from time to time (I did a forum search on hearing aids!) but I'm looking for some detailed info. Any thoughts you have on the topic are gratefully appreciated! So here's the questions: 1) If you wear hearing aids, what are you wearing and how do you like it? 2) If you wear hearing aids, what instrument do you play, and how do the aids affect your playing? 3) If you wear hearing aids and SING, I'd like to know how you do it... 4) I've been reading that singing and other musical endeavors can actually exacerbate/accelerate hearing loss...what has your experience been? Thank you much!!! V
