Paul's appointment included a brief visit with Dr. Shelton before meeting with the
audiologist to get his new aid. It was very interesting.........first they tested with

so loud that it was uncomfortable for him.

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

what 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.
