The first week with Chris and new hearing aids was pretty interesting. He would stop short, listen, look at me and say, "has it ALWAYS sounded like that?" He said the first time he put the aids in in the doctor's office, he heard what sounded like the ocean. He asked the doctor about it and the doctor told him that it was only the normal office "hum"...he'd just never been able to hear it before.

Yeah. Life was sounding like that annoying Maxwell House commercial where they make every sound of making coffee amplified and "sensualized." The sounds aren't that annoying, but come on... It's Maxwell House, fer cryin' out loud! No one gets aroused by drinking that sort of domestic swill.
Eventually, I got used tot he roar and was able to walk on a street with lots of traffic without hitting the mute button.
