Just got my first pair, and my life is transformed. I can here every sound. Even in a crowded room with music, I hear every word. I can even hear myself breathing, even the keyboard sounds different.
These are top of the range, big bucks, but they contain microprocessors that analyse and filter every sound, getting rid of any "noise". My Tinnitis has gone. The steamwhistle in my head has gone silent for the first time in decades. It will take a couple of weeks for my brain to catch up on processing all the new data, then back to the doc for fine-tuning.
I never knew I was so deaf. Apparently I was getting about one word in three or four and my brain filled in all the spaces, sometimes with hilarious results.
Anybody else had this experience?

Good on you Max ! I have not, but my father-in-law just got his first pair too. Transformed his life for the best with the exact same results as you have. He also tells everyone to stop screaming when talking to him We had all picked bad habits !!! Cheers, Slug

Good to hear the positive experiences. I am about 40% deaf in one ear (live music is surely to blame for some of it) and I know I will need them sooner of later.

Seriously??? I need to look into this, my hearing is a bit poor but I can live with it but the Tinnitus I would love to be rid of!
