It doesn`t sound very hopeful.
My loss is congenital and I have tried since childhood to get help.
The audiologist said it`s worth trying an aid in one ear but it`s doubtful it will help much if it helps at all. We can forget about the other ear .
A cochlear implant was mentioned but that too is unlikely to work in someone my age, where the workings of the ear have never received any stimulation.

I am so sorry Sylvia. What a lot you are having to contend with after losing Dirhen. Life can be so very unfair. x
Oh yes. That doesn't begin to describe it!
This is one of the photos they shared with me.

Thanks Izzy.
It was interesting to note how the audiologist`s speech and demeanour towards me changed after my hearing test. Because it has been a problem since birth, I`ve developed strategies for coping and no one realises the severity of the problem until they see the results of a hearing test. [or until they try to talk to me in a car]

The ant season is here again and I arrived home yesterday to find them crawling all over the kitchen floor.
I used half a tub of ant powder over the floor and doormat and sprayed with a greasy ant spray and had a very disturbed night dreaming they were crawling throughout the house. I hate them so much, if I`d had anywhere to run I would have gone and left them to it.
When I went into the kitchen this morning, thank goodness there was no sign. I`ve swept up the powder and mopped the floor with bleach , vacuumed the doormat and am keeping everything crossed they will stay outside.
These are the times I feel a absolute wimp .

Oh i don't think you're a wimp. I would feel exactly the same.
I've noticed flies appearing recently. I often have the balcony door or the windows open in the apartment and end up with a fly or two buzzing around. I was trying some aromatherapy oils in a burner but I think my electric burner is broken. Flies give me the creeps!

Sylvia I am right there beside you. I had ants on the drive, by the time I had finished it looked as if we had a snow shower. I then took the powder container back into the garden and was firing it at every individual ant I saw there. No sign of a nest in the garden but definitely one on the drive. I hate those flying ants as well.
Do you remember my problem with flies a couple of years ago. I think I was told they were called cluster flies. For a few days every morning there were hundreds ( no exaggeration) of them all over the windows in the kitchen. Where they came from I don't know but I sprayed fly killer and closed the door. Then I cleared them up did a thorough clean and used bottles of bleach only to have to do it again the next day. Only consolation I had was they were not flying in from outside so they all had clean feet
I shudder now thinking of them.

Send it this way Spamar. Please!
I haven`t seen any inside the house today but there is an army of them outside. I`m going to spray again soon.
One of the (many) advantages in having cats is that insects that make their way into the house are soon quickly dispatched.
I loathe and detest all insects. I realize they have their place in the ecology but I just don't want them in my house. I feel anything with more than 4 legs is unnatural and horrible. Let's not talk about spiders!
