Well this afternoon while decorating along with Mrs P i went deaf in my left ear.So thinking it was a faulty hearing aid i did not think anyrhing of it.Not a battery problem i put new ones in thursday.So home tonight both aids a good clean out took to pieces and new batteries.No a thing on the left side.So i tried both in the right side and i can hear the beeps as you take it through its different levels.Very strange and why only one side.I wonder if i have got some debris in it from painting,going to try and get an emergency appointment Monday getting up early and going down to the surgery.That will bugger them up they like you to ring,but by two mins past all the phones are busy and naff all gets you in.I dont mind a bit of blurry eyes but not having deafness.
