i had some work done to my ear. the doc suggested a hearing test and i agreed.

my wife thinks i'm losing my hearing. (she says my TV seems louder and louder)

i did the test, and yes..my left is diminished but not all that much.

i am a Civil engineer in heavy construction. my day to day life can be very very loud. i have a fistfull of those cheapo foam earplugs in my "man-bag" and i wear them pretty religiously. i dont find them all that comfortable for all day wear. i wear them at music concerts now.

the lady that performed my hearing test told me she wears custom plugs. she was like a Siren! maybe i want them because of her, i dont know. haha. but i do want them and i have some Flex-spending i need to burn.

i did just email my ear doc for her opinion as well. maybe her office can fit me. i hope. time to perserve what i have. i need to wear them on my motorcycle. but the foam ones are a pain in my helmet.
