“I closed my eyes and summoned the prayer that had carried me here, one I would continue to repeat every night I was president. A prayer of thanks for all I’d been given. A prayer that my sins be forgiven. A prayer that my family and the American people be kept safe from harm. A prayer for guidance.” Barack Obama
Turned up for my ENT appointment today and tried a hearing aid for the first time. It is not as noticeable as I thought and the features it comes with were pretty surprising as well. It cost S$1500 each ear, which is still surprisingly expensive for me. Apparently, this is already a discounted price by more than 50%. Meaning, the original cost is more than $3k. I also asked to do another hearing test and, just as I have guessed, there was a slight improvement to my hearing in my left ear. This was a huge surprise, or a slight miracle, as many doctors told me that my hearing would never get better. Unfortunately, just as I have feared as well, the test result also showed that my hearing in my right ear is worsening.
