Just an update. I haven't tested. Don't have any tests. But I got it.
COVID hit harder than I expected. Three days of wracking chills, four days of a bad sore throat (could barely swallow),dizziness, weakness, needed help from Lori to just sit up in bed. And this might be too much info , but I self-catheterize these days, which sounds like a nightmarish thing to do several times a day, but I'm finding it very tolerable. The thing is, I didn't have the balance or coordination to do it, needed help from Lori. And all while this is going on, I'm fearful that thiat this has allowed my condition to worsen, and I won't bounce back.
But I'm back. Just like Jack Nicholsen in The Shining.
Where's my axe?
BTW, I did get my hearing aids at Costco, but they're worn out. My experience: A sound room where they test your hearing, see what you're missing, then boost those sounds until close to normal. Then adjust the hearing aids for that. Youtube promotes a list of best practices, and Costco met a lot of them. But this was in Mountain View, Costco stores might vary, and also the technician. For me, it seemed worth the reduced cost. But lately they'e done some hanky panky, and i'm not certain of them. But I'll definitely be considering them.
They're definitely a step up from over the counter.
