I can hear you

Hello:

I have a hearing aid finally. It is a Bernafon brand hearing aid (PRIO). It is very small and fits discretely in my ear. At day three, I can still feel it. However, you cannot see it from the front or back, but you can see it from the side if you are staring in my ear. It is not fully tuned yet. Things sound different. You have to wear it to grow accustomed to sound again, especially the sound of your own voice. It sounds like it is coming from somewhere else or from a recorder. I imagine I will get familiar with new sounds over the next few weeks. I am really happy about this-I feel like I have a part of me back.

Williamstown Fair Karaoke Contest

This is for you Melanie.

Robin and I spent two days at the Williamstown Fair, August 8 and 9th. On the 9th we spent several hours at the Karaoke Funfest. Wow. There were many amazing singers. Here is one of the most spectacular singers, Melanie. She is singing, "I'm Alive".

Find Melanie on YouTube at this link:

We just wish we had a higher quality recording. Good job Melanie and good luck with your singing career.

More to come of the Williamstown Fair, the Glengarry Highland Games and other surprises.


Regards


April and Robin
