Well, yesturday Mom asked me to change the filters in her hearing aids as she was told it needed doing every 3 months. We got all the necessary gadgets etc …and our minds just went blank. The audiologist did show how to do it, but that was 3 months ago …..crikey, a lot has happened in that time….. Anyway, I was up early and got to the centre as they opened, only to be told all the audiologists were on holiday ……thats simply bad planning if you ask me ! They have relief people going in but not every day. Luckily someone is in tomorrow. I have to go back tomorrow afternoon , then it’s a race against time to get the last bus from Moms into town to get me home again …. Fingers crossed all will be well ….watch this space !

@Fleura …..she has been wearing hearing aids for several years now and it was the first time anyone has ever mention the filters or changing them ! I haven’t looked on YouTube ….to be honest I never remember to look on there.

@Traceyjayne What does texting have to do with a laptop?

I hope it all goes well tomorrow. I've never heard of a filter in a hearing aid. Interesting.

@traceyjayne my grandad had filters in his hearing aids which allowed him to hear only what he wanted to hear!!

Trying to tie in with bus timetables must get awkward sometimes.
