Appointment today with the ENT man. The appointment was set for 10:45 but the waiting room was rammed packed full of the elderly and the not so elderly and so I didn't get seen until 11. In that time I had the wonderful pleasure of watching 'Homes Under The Hammer' on a massive TV, just how many people actually enjoy this type of drivel?! The appointment lasted no more than three minutes - I kid ye not. Here's what happened: 1 - I was sat down, noticed a trainee gawping at me from the corner - lovely! 2 - ENT man began to speak, at this point I realised that he had a lisp - the kind where the tongue takes up the mouth and it's really hard to understand the resultant speech, I didn't clock a word of what he said so "Pardon? I didn't catch that - what did you say?" 3 - ENT man, on his wheely chair scooted the 5 feet from his desk and sat RIGHT NEXT TO ME, as in - our knees were touching - and explained, a lot more clearly the following things
Hi, I have worn HAs from age 4, and have don quite well until recently when a loud sound damaged bearing. You should be thankful you're not a CI candidate. With proper molds, and Oticon Sumo XP, the strongest aid out there, you can hear beautifully in just about all situations. This is analog, which is better than the digital junk out there. You need to spend much time on getting a good pair of earmolds. Also, do not have audiologist set power higher than 137 dB or can damage. I can help with molds as have much experience. You will hear music much better than with a CI. Good luck.
