A couple of years before I retired, I bought some very expensive hearing aids. I never got used to them - my ears were sore by the end of the day - and once I retired, I quit trying. This has been a point of contention at home, so once a year or so I break them out and try again, but I have never been able to wear them more than a few hours at a time.
Then, something happened.
About five o'clock yesterday morning, I woke up hearing noises outside. It sounded like a flock of blackbirds had landed in our back yard. I knew it was still a couple hours until daybreak and the chances of noisy blackbirds outside my window was next to none, so I ignored it and went back to sleep.
Once I got up, I was hearing things I hadn't heard in years. I discussed it with Honey, and she confirms that the things I'm hearing aren't imaginary - she hears them, too.
I have no idea what happened, or how long it will last, but for the last two days my hearing is as good or better than it has ever been.
