I’m in day 3 of my new #HexingAid* and let me tell you, the ability to stream Spotify straight into my ear is pretty freaking cool.

Also: check it! It’s so small that you can hardly see it, even though it’s a behind-the-ear model.

*not a typo - its what I’m calling my hearing aid. Feels lovely and witchy and maybe a little dangerous. 😈 (Thanks @Agatha for the naming convention! I love it!)

Other observations:

-remove hexing aid THEN comb hair on that side

-walking next to an elementary school at recess time is excruciating: plan ahead (seriously, why are tiny humans so monstrously loud?)

-sunglasses have a learning curve

Today's observation:

My elderly father is visiting. He has age-induced hearing loss, and while he has his own hearing aids, I still have to raise my voice, speak slowly, and make sure he can see my face to lip read.

I'm learning now that this is easier for me when I keep my #HexingAid *out*, because otherwise I sound way too loud to myself.
