3. Sounds great. Keep us posted about you experience with these as time goes on.

We’re starting to look for hearing aids for my husband, so are very interested to know how various devices work.

10. Such a big difference.

Sounds I usually ignored because I couldn't hear them at all or just faintly are now quite noticeable.

Just my typing on this keyboard I can hear all the "clicks" the keys make!

I can hear the "clicks" from my mouse and trackball, music is especially better.

Only one gripe: Lawn mowers in the neighborhood.

Some can be pretty pricey.

6. What did you say?

Happy for you.

7. Are they in the ear canal? I can't stand anything in my ears.

My daughter is trying to get me to look into it, but if she would talk to me, face to face, instead of as she is walking away, I wouldn't have a problem.

I recently flew to Florida and couldn't believe how well I could hear. It was almost deafening.

8. Happy for you!
