I'm getting hearing aids. The rehabilitative program will pay for about 60% of the cost. I'm pleased with that. It's more than I expected.
However, I'm still wishy-washy about the whole idea. Part of me is super excited, and another part is terrified.
I probably picked the wrong day to wear eye make-up.

why are you so terrified? what is the hearing aid exactly? like an earphone?
A hearing aid is a small device that goes into your ear to amplify sound. I'm not sure what an earphone is, but I'm guessing it's the same thing, just a difference in language terminology.
I honestly can't explain why I'm terrified. Maybe I thought I could go through life and just get by, and it's kind of like admitting defeat or failure? I don't know.
I cried at my hearing test because it was so hard. Thankfully the technician didn't see me. I pinched myself really hard, in the hopes of distracting my fear with physical pain. ;)
Well, I don't know if my feelings will change if I end up qualifying, but right now, I think I'll be pleased with hearing aids.
If I don't qualify, however, I may cry.
If you'd heard the difference that cheap amplifier at the psychologist's office made, you'd feel a lot more at ease. It's HUGE.
