Growing deaf. My experience with Hearing Aids

[Yamfanie]

I began to lose my hearing about 18 months ago and purchased a set of Hearing Aids. They worked very well. I could hear my wife speaking clearly once again. But to my dismay my favorite CD's sounded awful and my favorite Styles on my Yamaha SX970 sounded pathetic. I was despondent and I acted in haste and deleted all my Styles from my USB Sticks. Fortunately, I came across an article on the internet which said that the brain will be rewired after a week or so , if a person who is wearing hearing aids for the first time in their life, keeps them on . I did this and only took them off when I went to bed. I am delighted to report that it only took me seven days and my brain was re wired. Joy oh Joy!!
I recovered my Styles from my computer, loaded a USB stick and now enjoy playing my PSR 970 with or without Hearing Aids and my CD's sound great with or without Hearing Aids. Recently, someone told me that when I am playing my PSR 970 without hearing aids the listeners are probably missing out on some of the higher
frequencies but I don't think that they are correct. My life is now back to normal and I am delighted.

Birregurra. No, I don't play in a band now.. I did for a short time but when the others wanted to play Celtic music I dropped out because the tempo was too fast for my poor fingers on my acoustic guitar. John.

I wonder how many members of this Forum play their keyboards whilst using Headphones., and the reason why they pop them on. Sometimes, I put mine on--- just because sometimes I think the sounds coming from my headphones sounds better than the built in speakers on my Yamaha PSR 970. Cheers, John.
