          depends upon who is talking
          Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.

            If people would just cooperate then I could hear them.

              Not as good as it was, not so god at separating two sources of voice in a group as I was and some of the top register has gone.

                Just got my hearing aids a few weeks ago. Was amazed by the sounds that I had been missing .Only downfall so far has been that many of the songs that I liked are now whiney noise. Aerosmith for example.. First day I wore them I couldn't figure out the trickling sound ,came out into the dining room and realized it was the cat water fountain, never heard it before!

                  First thing I noticed were birds! Got home, and the dogs toenails clicking on the floor.

                  I never liked Aerosmith, but Springsteen’s Nebraska blew me away.

                    I shall go and listen to "Nebraska", that is if I don't forget why I'm going downstairs!

                      First thing I noticed with new hearing aids was how much noise I made peeing in the toilet. And that I needed a new car because obviously my current rattletrap was falling apart.

                        My hearing is still quite good, though I've had tinnitus for decades and it is always audible no matter what else is going on, even above things like the lawnmower or backpack leaf blower. Last month I had to go in and get zapped for afib (cardioversion) which worked, but now my tinnitus pulses with my heartbeat. It's like having an annoying built-in pulse monitor.

                          It is not about the music, it is more about the words. And they are way too easy to hear. Too bad no one actually did anything about what Bruce was singing about, back in the day and ever since then. He blew the whistle, but nothing ever got better. We are reaping that harvest now, with drugs, homelessness, and people finally trying to vote for something different - that just gets them deeper into the crap.

                            I honesty thought that m hearing is getting slowly worse these days but according to hearing test online I've done recently, it is not bad at the moment and it is almost at the same level it was three years ago, when I last time visited and audiologist. The only doubt I have now is about the accuracy of those online tests. What do you guys think? Again, it wouldn't be a huge difference between online and a regular testing, am I right?
