Paul's appointment included a brief visit with Dr. Shelton before meeting with theaudiologist to get his new aid. It was very interesting.........first they tested with
the computer the implanted device and then they tested the aid on him.
This first picture they are testing the device........parts of the testing was
so loud that it was uncomfortable for him.
In this picture the audiologist is showing Paul thehearing aid and telling him all about it.
On it goes! Paul can hear with it, but it sounds like a bunch of
mumbling to him. He will go in again in two weeks for an
adjustment..........I don't know how many times that will be
required. Paul was dissapointed that it wasn't immediatly
similar to his life long experience with the other aids. This
is a different kind of technology and he has to relearn how to
process what he is hearing.
This is after we got home and he is watching tv.......trying to understandwhat they are saying. After fiddling with it for a while he said it got
better, but it will take time for him to be completely comfortable with
his new hearing aid.
