So my one year review of the Widex Dream is that it's still fantastic, and totally worth it! As predicted, my brain took a couple of weeks to adjust to all of the noise that I used to not hearing (a/c running, toilet flushing, car engines, etc) and stop giving me a headache by 3pm every day. Although I won't lie, I often take it out around 4pm anyway - I'm usually tired of hearing the kids fighting at full volume at that point! ;)
I love being able to hear almost everything now - no more missing out on conversations, hearing people talk when far away or in the backseat of a car, birds chirping, not having to turn up the volume on the tv, and actually hearing music the way it was meant to be heard! Even the boring noises I never knew I was missing, like the beep of the dishwasher when it's done running...and fun stuff too, like hearing the coqui frogs in Puerto Rico for the first time :)
And a special thanks to my wonderful husband (who doesn't read this, but I'll give him some credit anyway!) for pushing me into trying it out. Without him I would still be stuck in my not-hearing-but-thinking-I-can-get-by world!
Cheers to many more years of hearing!
