Things I Can Hear Again

Today is my first day with hearing aids. Suddenly I'm rediscovering sounds I didn't know I was missing. Here's what I heard within the first hour after I had my hearing aids in: · the intake of breath (my own or another person's) · tires going through the slush on the street · the cat toy that jingles when our cats chase it

Here are some things that I can suddenly hear at full volume: · our dog's nails on our hardwood floor · the click of the mouse · keyboard noise · our ferrets walking on paper
