Hi everyone, I just read this and definitely can relate. i notice that first thing in the morning when i put my hearing aids in, that everything sounds really good. But just like some of you were saying, about halfway through the day and especially at night, I hear much worse than in the start of the day. I hear a lot of distortion and static over everything. The only thing that I have found that helps is to put my hearing aids on T and hear nothing but low freq noise from the hearing aid for a while and "take a break" from hearing and then turn them back on later. I will ask my audie about this issue tm.
