14. I ordered a set of Rexton aids from Costco today.

They are rechargeable and what is called "open fit". They have a telecoil, and allow direct connection to any Bluetooth device.

And best of all - Costco can now do adjustments and programming REMOTELY.

So we will not have to drive to Albuquerque any time the aids need servicing or adjustment.

They'll arrive next week.

I still have mixed feelings about the whole deal, but I realized the last few days that having to pay such close attention, and put so much effort into hearing clearly, has been having a slow and rather subtle negative effect on my mental health and energy levels. So we'll see how this goes.

hopefully,
Bright
