Lyric Update

Hi All.

I thought I would post an update on my latest experiences with the Lyric. I've had a busy summer with lots of outdoor events and sports and found some new creative ways to deal with different environments.

First off, I'm happy to say that I now go DAYS without thinking about my hearing aids. It really is amazing to think that I used to have to take them in and out each morning, deal with batteries each week and then still make adjustments a few times a day. Now I go days without even thinking about them, let alone make any sort of adjustment.

Anyway, back to the new ideas. This summer I had a few water sports activities lined up. 1st was a trip with my local Boy Scouts to a lake, then another was 5 days at Lake Powell on a house boat, (yeah, I know... tough life!). Anyway, I've been looking for more ways to deal with being around the water and this time I really put Doc's Pro Plugs to the test. My audiologist also gave me an Ear Band-It. I may have looked kind of silly, but I was able to swim, wake board, ski, etc. all while keeping my Lyrics in and working. It was awesome! I'm going to try to post up some photos and more details of the process, but it's been great to find a way to spend time with my kids in the pool without having to sit on the sidelines.
