Soooo loud!

God, everything is sooooo loud. Jesus, how can people stand it?

Yes, I found my hearing aids, and yes I'm wearing them. I'm going to see about those little beltone ones next week, I think. No promises on how long I'll wear them this time, though, because honestly I might just get frustrated and take them off in an hour.

There are smaller ones, actually, that fit inside the ear out of site, but the last I heard my insurance won't cover them. I think I'm going to try for them again, though. And yes, they have volume control, otherwise a bunch of people like me, who aren't completely deaf, would be running around clutching our heads and shreaking in pain. That's the worst part about them - they don't just increase the volume of people's voices, they increase EVERYTHING. Yesterday, downtown, I heard the trains top TWO STOPS AWAY.
