Mine's straight-up hearing loss (on top of the tinnitus); right in the range of human voices, making conversations in crowds nearly impossible. Hubby is
still learning to turn the TV down if he wants to talk to me. Hearing aids are definitely in my future.
I don't have black on hand, but I might be able to find some. What fiber are you looking for; heavy wool, light wool, cotton blend, acrylic? I do have some silvery grey, and possibly a dark grey, in the light cotton/acrylic blend. PM me and we'll talk.

Interesting is that when listening to some music, particularly string, like a violin in the very high notes, the sound comes thru fine along with the 'character of the sound.
But speech is somewhat affected. I'm ok in conversation, issues arise in places with very high ambient sound/noise, which is when I have distinction problems - like restaurants which do little to control the reverb acoustics...
Not feeling isolated - I've always chosen my engagement with others, rarely enter into chit-chat for the sake of it.
But I do appreciate your advise, and doing newer tests (last done 2 yrs ago when under heavy Chemo), it's prolly time - and then have a discussion of possible remediation.
Thanks for the nudge .
On to your crotched ear flaps - do you do them in black or slate blue ???? for sale ???? LOL!
Ride On
