Hearing aid experience part 1

I'm sitting in the waiting room with a room full of people who are here for Botox injections as my doctor shares a waiting room with a plastic surgeon. I'm waiting for my first appointment where we will discuss a hearing aid. I don't want one, but what I want and what I need might be different. I'm praying that it goes smoothly, isn't too costly, and isn't super uncomfortable. I'm nervous, but I know that God is even here.

I am blessed in that I'm 23 and this is my first hearing aid. The reality is I haven't had one due to not having health insurance as a kid. I failed a hearing test in 5th grade but it was never followed. It wasn't due to lack of concern, but in reality I have learned hearing is a privilege. It's something you can live without but definitely affects your quality of life. Since its not essential to life, it got put off. In my experience I think it slowly declined from bad to worse, but there is no where to know. What I do know is where I am at now. Waiting. Anticipating. And very unsure as to what will occur next except that they will call my name and someone will direct me from there.

I wonder on how much sound I miss out on. I wonder what I don't hear that I should. I imagine the world will be different with a hearing aid, but maye what I missed is what people mutter under their breathe which maybe it's better I didn't hear. I have missed directions, people calling my name, and music playing in businesses .

But now the world will change, potentially for the better. So if you found this because u are looking for advice or information on someone's earring aid experience i will keep you updated on how this goes. And if you read this because you read my blog , then please be praying for me.
