Nice! Glad you're getting yours fitted soon! Honestly, mine have been literally life changing. I truly didn't realize how bad my hearing had gotten because the change was so gradual. The sound generated through the hearing aids is much better than an external speaker, and after the adjustment period, I sometimes don't even notice it's playing. The brain learns to filter it out, along with the tinnitus. It's different than trying to block or mask it with a speaker. Not a cure, but much better. I hope yours work well for you!
