Over on Mrs. Brown’s Blog, she has posted a list of things she can hear with her new hearing aids.

So I made a list of things as the days unfolded…some big…some not so big…here goes…

• seatbelt makes a click sound
• raindrops on the windshield
• melody/harmony…never heard it, BEAUTIFUL!
• water splashing on the sink
• ice machine…crushed…yummy
• my kids in the back seat, talking, singing, arguing, all of it!
• my oven timer, even from another ROOM!
• the prelude to the Chuck series has a bunch of background sounds that I never knew were there
• birds chirping
• the sound of the steamer when my dirty chai is being made
• the sound of paper ripping and scrunching
• had to turn down the ringer on my cell phone
• at the park w/ the kids and heard all these adorable little voices w/ wind and falling leaves
• the carousel was annoying loud
• music played from the ipod or in the car does not have to be full blast
• people whispering…both ears and from all kinds of distances
• my friends and families voices as they really are…tears…lots of tears…
• the sound of Ally’s id tag clinking against her collar (Ally is our chocolate lab…first born)
• annoying talking/noise toys that our family buys for our children! thx grandparents!
• the sound of someone eating a banana…loudly
• my feet hitting the ground as I run…and all the feet around me too, so I don’t do that anymore!
• knuckles cracking
• cymbals…you know…like w/ the drums…never heard those before
• zits popping…love that sound
• discovered “background” music levels
• cereal hitting the bowl
• hearing people WITHOUT reading their lips and seeing their faces
• egg shaker – thought those were for the people who could not sing but wanted to be on stage
• tv shows w/o captions…and I can hear everything!
• egg shells cracking
• finger nails being clipped…cool sound that goes w/ that gross job
• i never understood why there was keyboard AND piano at the same time, turns out, they are different, layering i think is the fancy/music word
• church/worship/teaching was AMAZING!!!
• hearing my hubby sing, fully and completely, I was a mess, it was/is beautiful! more to come on hearing my man talk and sing…its gonna be a tear jerker…stay tuned!
