Judy opened hers early; her hearing aid. I waited until Christmas to open mine. My hearing assist has more to do with birding than just regular hearing.
It’s a headset with a digital processor that picks out the higher frequencies that I can’t hear, and cuts them in half (or by three or by four), to bring them down to my hearing range. Here is the processing unit. It can just drop in a shirt pocket and the controls are still accessible from the top.
Here is a link to the demo of how it can bring high-pitched bird sounds into hearing range: http://hearbirdsagain.com/sound-samples/ We were going to test it out today, do a little bird listening, but there is a front blowing through. We didn’t think a roaring windstorm was the best time to check out our new listening device, so we stayed home for a calmer day.
