So the appointment was about an hour. She put one in my ear and began to talk to me. Before she put it in the room was very quiet. But after I heard a fan, and a conversation in the hallway. It shook me a little to think that the world could change so much in a moment. But the cost of this change is a lot and isn't inline with where I believe God is leading my husband and I right now. I have some reasons for this.
1- I've been compensating my whole life and done just fine with it. I miss some things but I can hold a conversation. Hearing aids can make me lose that ability.
2- they are very very costly and God has already given us costly dreams. He has put a specific mission field on our heart that I want to be obedient to. While there are some programs that help with cost for my type of hearing loss they are very very limited.
3- even though they would help with my frustration maybe I just need to learn patience.
4- I don't have a job meaning my income is all loans. If I had one I'd feel better about getting them.
5- hearing loss isn't deadly.
6-my medical problems already cost is quite a bit
7- I don't like spending money on myself
Now some of these ill give u are duly reasons and I'm not saying never to improving my hearing but I am saying not right now when God has given us a big vision to focus on at the moment. My husband would totally support me getting them, he is wonderful, but at this time I don't feel good about it.
Ill keep you posted if I decide to get them in the future. I am going to get a second opinion tomorrow just to be sure I'm Making the right choice.
