FIND SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS HOW YOU FEEL

Get support from your spouse if married. Without the support of my husband who cared enough to schedule my initial hearing test I probably would have gone on much longer before been diagnosed as hearing impaired. When I got my hearing aids in and wrote the check to pay for them, I began to cry as I heard the sound of a pen moving along as I wrote a check. I had never heard that before. Later on, I took music lessons and studied the flute because I was intrigued with the high notes which I had never been able to hear before.
