I lost my $10,000 hearing aids

[nefertiti]

This is why whenever I get engaged I am telling my fiance to return my nice ring for a piece of junk from claires.

I can function fine without them till I can get replacements (which will probably take about a month) as I didn't get them till I was 21 and in that time learned how to block out background noises and focus my hearing on a specific voice as well as reading lips, but it still BLOWS. I am SO PISSED at myself for being so careless.

I'm confused.. why do you have hearing aids? what does this have to do with rings?

 

[calveless wonder]

whoa....that sucks.

how did you hearing deteriorate so badly when you were little?

you basically were half deaf growing up?

maybe they'll turn up.......probably in a random spot.

How did you lose hearing aids? Did you take them out somewhere and you forgot where? Lose them swimming?

 

[stilleto]

that sucks! how did you lose them? at home?? at the gym??
maybe they'll turn up?

I have a friend with a congenital hearing loss and i know her hearing aides cost a fortune for her and her son.

i hope you find them... did you have insurance, either renters or medical that will cover it??

Hon, do you own a home? Your policy might cover the loss.

Sorry!I hope they turn up soon. Pretty pricey lesson!

Clockwork, I have hearing aids because I'm hard of hearing, doofus. 70% loss. It has to do with rings because I obviously cannot be trusted to keep track of small things. They are tiny.

Caveless, born that way, but I adjusted so well that I didn't even know how bad it was till I got my hearing checked when I was 21.

Mr. Black...I took them out over the weekend when I went to the pool and LEFT THEM SITTING THERE.

I have them insured, thank god...Won't cost me tooooo much to get the replacements. I'm just really pissed at myself for being careless.
