I give up. I can’t find my hearing aids anywhere. And it’s breaking my heart.
For all the complaining I’ve done about the way the open fit feels in my ears, they were really good hearing aids. They made life so much simpler! They covered a huge range – all the way up to 10kHz – and I could hear so much better. It was really cool how they communicated with each other, too. Made everything so much more natural.
And now they’re gone. It’s just terrible. They cost $5700 in April 2008. They were top of the line. I had nifty pink and purple covers that my wife got me. I just feel so stupid for losing them. How can you lose something that costs so much money?! I don’t wear them every day during the school year, because I don’t need to. So I just lost track of them. I have no idea where they are.
I am bidding on replacements on eBay, but they won’t be as good. I want to stick with Oticons so my programming will transfer easily. I want at least one to be fairly new so it will work with my bluetooth kit. It won’t be binaural bluetooth anymore, but it’s better than nothing. Ugh, this makes me so sick. I keep thinking of new possibilities for where they could be, and they keep not being there. Everybody in my life is tired of hearing about it. My wife tells me not to brood but what can I do? I am so stupid for losing them. I just keep punishing myself. It’s not the money that it will cost for new ones, that’s secondary to the pure sadness I feel at being so careless. I really have looked everywhere.
I’m just sick over it. That’s all I can say.
