Can you hear me now??

They're virtually invisible!

We had a little something to celebrate this week!  Larry has suffered from hearing loss in his right ear for more than 40 years.  A little souvenir from his Army days.  He sustained so much damage that he's always been told there was nothing that could be done, that he would forevermore be profoundly deaf in his right ear.  So naturally, he relied a lot on his left ear and that caused a lot of frustration and aggravation, especially on the telephone or in a crowd.  He got pretty good at reading lips, though!

We got him an appointment to see an ENT here in town and thanks to the Good Lord above and modern medical technology, Larry now has a brand new set of Phonak Audeo hearing aids!

They are pretty amazing, too.  The first day he couldn't believe all the sounds he was hearing.  He could hear leaves rustling in the wind and the birds singing really, really loud.  :)  It was such a blessing to experience this with him!  I know all too well the struggle he's endured all of his adult life with this handicap and for him to be able to hear all the sounds in this wonderful life God has given us just means everything to me.
