1. Congratulations!

Your description of hearing birds sing made me smile.

My MIL tells a story about how she almost cried when she took her son (now Mr. Brickbat) to get glasses for the first time. On the way home he kept saying, "I see WAVES! On the LAKE! WAVES! Look, Mama! WAVES!"

8. That is truly wonderful!
I love hearing the birds sing! I have a neighbor who can still hear but she can't hear the birds chirping. She misses it.

12. Indeed. Mine changed my life a lot when I got them 3 years ago.
People tend not to realize that when hard of hearing people snap at them, what we are pissed off about is our own declining abilities, not anything to do with them.
