Noel brought home his spare hearing aid but only for the left ear. The amplifier for the right ear was detached so he told me to ask an audiologist later if it still could be attached. Hearing loss is hereditary according to my doctor. Noel uses them in both ears.
I am trying to practice having both ears with hearing aid so I bought a a cheap pair but it is made in China. When I have my ENT check-up this coming December, I will decide to finally buy. They are so costly here.
I’ll be back for another lab test (FBS) in two weeks. My blood sugar has gone down but it is not in the normal range yet. Normal is 5.5, mine is 6.6. Unfortunately, my blood pressure has gone up. Praying that in my next visit, everything would be normal.
Noel brought home 2 big bags of healthy trail mix for my plain oatmeal diet, several tea variants and he gave me dark chocolate for diabetics. The others have their Fererro which used to be my favorite. One bag of this trail mix costs more than 5K here which I can’t afford.
Dreams And Escapes 
I just learned a year ago that hearing loss is hereditary. I’ve had hearing aids for a year and wear them all the time I’m not in bed or in the shower. I hope you will be able to get ones that help your hearing and are comfortable.

How do you eat your oatmeal? I can’t eat oatmeal without milk and sugar, so the benefits are cancelled.

Good luck with the hearing aids, Arlene. Despite our National Health system, modern hearing aids are also very expensive in England.
Best wishes, Pete.

The audiologist quoted 28k for each ear and that is too expensive. Can’t afford that much😏
