I'm nearly 65 and have been having the usual trouble of problems understanding conversation in noisy places, and find it more difficult to understand female voices (except of course the wife!!) at checkouts and nearly always have to ask them to repeat the amount.
Well, I went along have a hearing check by an outfit who do not have a fixed office but rent space at various venues. My audiogram result is:
R 20 15 10 5 10 5 10 10 30 40 45
Hz 125 250 500 750 1K 1.5K 2K 3K 4K 6k 8K
L 15 10 5 5 0 5 10 10 20 40 45
He programmed some aids for me to try and yes, some sounds and music sounded better, but has anyone with a similar loss found aids really help them. I'd be interested to know and have booked a test with another company to see what they say. And by the way I do suffer from tinnitus.
