Thread Name: Musicians with hearing aids
Subject: Musicians with hearing aids
It was mentioned recently that the number of musicians using hearing aids are increasing in numbers.Many more players could do with them and do not realise the symptoms.The main annoyance for players seems to be not so much hearing the music which for me comes over loud and clear. but for people holding a conversation afterwards.Like asking the name of a tune, or where was it collected etc.Many suffer from peripheral noise,a one to one conversation is no problem in a quiet room, but in a pub with noise all around you that creates a major problem for the hard of hearing.
Get the "pardon" out of the way and please discuss.
