Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Great diary, thanks In Wales. It can be very exhilaration to overcome limitations. And yes, the impaired hearing can also have advantages as I too found out. When in need for quiet, just take out the hearing aids and it is there - or almost, except for the chatter and noises in the head. :-)

It has only been over the last year or two that I've been able to take my hearing aids out and be relaxed about it, without constantly looking around me to see if anything is going on that I ought to know about but haven't heard.

Because my hearing aids give some sound, I forget that I don't hear most things, even so and it is more distracting trying to process sound that makes no sense than it is to cut it all out completely.

Like you say, there's always plenty of noise going on in the head!
