Thinking Outside of The Hearing Aid

I’ve had a hearing loss for the last 38 years, ever since I got a severe case of amoebic dysentery in Central America and was given sulfa drugs, which killed the amoebic parasites but also killed off a lot of my hearing nerve endings. That was a major loss in my life that led to a lot of discouragement and difficulty in learning to cope with a major loss of one of my main senses.

  1. Thinking Outside of The Hearing Aid I’ve had a hearing loss for the last 38 years, ever since I got a severe case of amoebic dysentery in Central America and was given sulfa drugs, which killed the amoebic parasites but also killed off a lot of my hearing nerve endings.  That was a major loss in my life that led to a lot of discouragement and difficulty in learning to cope with a major loss of one of my main senses.

  2. I did what everyone did back then…I looked into hearing aids.  And for the last 38 years, I relied on about 12 different hearing aids.   I went through times when I was very discouraged with what I was hearing with hearing aids.  I tried analog aids, and then dabbled with the digitals when they came out…felt like I was getting “too much” sound digitizing and then came back to analogs.  And today…I’m using an old Siemens Intuis SP behind the ear hearing aid that seems to be the best match for me hearing loss. Six years ago…I made an astonishing discovery…that unbeknownst to be…there was MORE than a just hearing aid.   I was ending my contracting business as a tile and marble contractor and I wanted to get into a business that would enable me to work at home and use my marketing creativity skills more.  So…I Googled Hearing Accessories, to see if there was anything else out there besides hearing aids.  That was the astonishing discovery…. for the next 3 days, I just pored over the different Hearing Accessories that were available that would ENHANCE what my hearing aids were doing for me. Who ever thought they would make a “sweat band” to cover a hearing aid and protect it from damage from destructive moisture.   I played a lot of basketball so I had a lot of sweat behind the ears and needed something to absorb all that moisture.   So my VERY FIRST item I sold from my new EBAY online store was hearing aid sweat bands.

  3. Well, I quickly found out I was going to have to sell about 2,000 of those sweat bands a month just to pay some operating costs.  So…I started to explore OTHER hearing accessories.  I was truly amazed to find out that there were OVER 2,000 HEARING ACCESSORIES I could choose from…everything from vibrating alarm clocks to shake me awake from sleep when I wasn’t wearing my hearing aids…to wireless TV Amplifier systems that would give me louder, clearer TV sound while allowing the other watchers to listen at a much lower volume.  I was seeing more smiles than ever from those who use to grind their teeth and roll their eyes when I would crank the TV volume up and drive everyone away. So today, my MyHearGear EBAY and website store sells over 1500 innovative, quality assistive listening products that have totally revolutionized my hearing experience- Yep, I still have my trusty old Siemens hearing aids helping me along…but now I’ve been exposed to about 1500 other ways to make my hearing experience more than just turn by hearing aid up and down. As a hearing impaired person who has learned to “think outside the box”,  I invite you to venture outside the hearing aid and discover the amazing hearing enhancement  products that are waiting for you to discover, try out, and be enriched by.
