I have just received a small pair of hearing aids and its changed my world.
After 84+ years I did not realise how my hearing had fallen short of what is required when out detecting.
The new micro hearing aids arrived yesterday after only a 6 weeks wait.
At home using the test bed I was able to drop the full WS5 headset to only number 2.
Today out in the fields its a whole new ball game.
I could hear the coil passing though the grass and tiny whispers that over the years I must have missed without knowing it.
These problems creep up on us as the years pass bye without realising what is going on.
Yesterday I could also hear the leaves rustling in the larger trees with the evening breeze.
I would suggest that older folks take my experience on board while the NHS is still there to help us.
Happy Hunting,
Jerry.
