I had a little snooze on the couch and woke up shortly before 2am. Ugh, it seems that I have messed up my sleep again! Anyhow, while texting Tina I saw something that attracted my attention on the TV. I wanted to hear it so I got up and picked up my ear. Plugged it [...]

19 Days Later
It’s been 19 days since I’ve worn my new hearing aids and I’m still using the original configuration that they have sent them in for me. As I’m sure many of you are waiting for detailed feedback on the hearing aid performance. And what can I say? The new ears are simply fantastic, yet there [...]
in·quis·i·tive
I suddenly heard a rush of air in my left hearing aid and the uncomfortable presence of someone too close behind me. And the disgusting breathing changed as a voice boomed, “What are those?” I turned in my stool to look at the stranger and put a hand to his chest to push him a [...]
The Sound of Light
At first there was silence and I waited patiently for the hearing aids to start up, while mother sat across from me waiting expectantly. Suddenly a rush of sounds filled my head; the deep silence that I have known and grown familiar with suddenly shattered, colors and light swirled into my head. I can hear [...]

Pausing Time
After a glitch in payment for the UK-based company from where I’m buying my Naida IX hearing aids. They informed me that they have received payment on Aug. 25th. And today I got an email there’s been a holdup in shipment & I will be informed tomorrow on their actual shipping date. Patience, Rashed. Yesterday, [...]
Garbled Conversations
I’m into technology. That’s an unavoidable fact ever since I was a kid, I used to love tinkering and try to get my hands on the latest tech. Computers, phones, assistive listening devices, you name it. Also, I make and take lots of phone calls daily. Which somewhat is problematic with hearing aids. Last year, [...]
The Rat Race
The past few months have been quite hectic for me. I’ve been in a race against time and nature, just narrowly outpacing both. Lately, my hearing has dropped. My audiologist claims it’s still the same since 2005 and lays the blame on my current hearing aids. I’ve been wearing these abused aids well beyond their [...]
