Hi,

Your question: What make are your hearing aids and have you alweays worn this firm's?

I do not really understand your question but I hope this will answer to your question. If not, please feel free to ask again in different method of question.

Anyway, I forgot what my previous hearing aid made from because every 5 years I have to update the new hearing aids and throw away the old ones. Audiologists have their own opinion and preferences. I have been visiting several different Audioligists because I moved many different places (it's same with doctors). Anyway, this time that hearing aids I am wearing right now are from Denmark (I think).

I have wear those hearing aids since I was 2 years old. I was "training" to hear from the hearing aids. As a child, I listen to the tapes from many different sounds. I have to able to names them such as srien sound from police/fire truck, bird sings, car honk, door knock, door squeaking when open or closed, door slammed, water running, dog bark, cat moewing, thunderstorm, footsteps on stairs, and many more. It is something that hearing people hears everyday. So, I grow accoustm (habit) to wear hearing aid every day and night. Only time I take off hearing aid is when I go to bed. I learn to listen when people talk. I learn to listen my own voice. There is speech threapy to teach deaf people to speak the right way. I notice that my parents listen to music (mostly country music) I learn to listen music from my parents and hearing friends. I have my own taste. At first, I listen to Christians music. Now I don't.

I have to read of what words that said and listen to music at the same time. If there is no words then I could not understand what the person says in his/her singing. I have to have words for me to read and follow the music. It is only way for me able to understand better. I feel like wasting my time trying to find words when there isn't providing one. It's one of my pet peeves that there is no lyric words. Since I am no long listen to Christian music. So instead, I listen to classic and instrumental (such as panio, flute, harps, drums, and other) music sounds that have no words. I've really enjoy listening. So, that's why I couldn't resist hearing aids. I've already been raised to wear hearing aids for long time (since 2 years old).

Oh by the way, I've listen and know most words of Chirstmas music. I enjoy singing those Christmas songs from the CD's with my family as we decorcate Christmas tree. We do that every year during Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I hope that does answer to your question.
