True. Those of us fortunate enough to have aids we can switch off by
pressing a button on our remote have this ability to create 'your own
peaceful room where the sound of
the fridge/kids in the street/car noises etc cannot penetrate' on
demand.
As Mike said, don't try it while your family (wife) is around or you
might suffer the blunt instrument syndrom.
I suspect that the person who started this thread simply suffered from
uncomfortable molds. Hear this everyone: You should be able to forget
that you are wearing hearing aids. I can attest that I have dived into
the sea and swum vast distances forgetting that I was wearing my
expensive hearing aids (which survived this treatment).
Dozens of members of this group will have showered before discovering
that they, collecively, were wearing megabucks worth of hearing aids.
So if you cannot forget that you are wearing hearing aids then this is
the problem.
Inserting and removing any sort of hearing hardware is not easy - once
a day is enough. To have to do it more often than that is not only
time-consuming (and possibly embarrassing) but also multiplies the wear
and tear on your ears.
