Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that doesn’t justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like a hippo
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

    Thanks, me too, and I’m sure Mrs Floofah will be happy as well. She gets frustrated by my poor hearing. I get them next Thursday. Already loaded the app on my phone and iPad!!

    Hopefully I will be able to report back here very positively.

      Didn’t realise they could come with an app, that’s interesting.

      I’m excited for you!

        I’ll report back, hopefully positively. My appointment has been delayed until next Monday.

            I’ve got my hearing aids, boy are they great!! Has transformed my hearing capability. The app has allowed me to tweak the settings, and amazingly when wearing them, I no longer hear my tinnitus hiss as badly. Don’t know how that works as I can clearly hear higher frequencies. Has really improved my speech understanding, it’s all so clear now.

              Hey, thanks so much for updating me!! Sorry it took me so long to reply, was taking a break from social media.

              I’m so excited for you, it all sounds wonderful. The lowering of tinnitus is an unexpected bonus! Really glad it improved your speech understanding. Made my day reading your comment.
