It was exactly 4 months after this cleaning was originally scheduled (May 21) that Golden State Smiles was able to reschedule the appointment. I arrived 10 minutes early because I didn’t know exactly what to expect, other than being instructed to wear a mask. There were 6 chairs in the waiting room that normally held…

Repair of right hearing aid
Wednesday, November 13, 2019, 2:00 p.m. For the last 5 months, the right hearing aid has been unreliable. That is, I never know when it might stopping syncing with my cell phone. But, most of the time, re-booting my cell phone fixed it. And, if that didn’t, then charging the hearing aids overnight (and re-booting…

The assistant who came out to get me was another white girl. However, as soon as she spoke, I could tell she was not a United States white girl. Maybe eastern…

The young non-white female who ushered me into Paul Simon’s treatment room was pleasant and efficient, scheduling me for #10 on February 14–an appropriate date to end my individual…
Hearing Aids and Other Things
Today is my fifth day with my new hearing aids, so I’m still getting used to putting them in and taking them out and discovering what I can hear that I couldn’t hear before. Last night I was hearing all kinds of strange “night noises” both inside the house and outside in the dark. Tonight…
Hearing Aid Fitting
Thursday, December 13, 2018 I almost missed this appointment because I somehow got it in my head that it was on Friday the 13th! Good thing I checked my Google calendar before bedtime and thus was able to set my alarm clock. 7:30 a.m. came early and I would have much rather slept; but I…
