Yesterday, I went to have my hearing checked, which was the first time in about 5 years. I knew my hearing had been getting worse, which is why I was there getting it checked. I went in thinking my hearing was workable, I walked out realizing that I have severe (close to profound) hearing loss. It is interesting how knowing something for a fact can mess with your mind. The only thing that has changed since this time yesterday is I now know for a fact how bad my hearing is and will perhaps become worse as times goes on.
The fun part is the place I got my hearing checked is pushing for me to get hearing aides. The ones I looked at were nice, but the only problem with them is the price of $5,000. Linnea and I thought about how that would help us buy a used car or pay for ministry needs. To be honest I am having a hard time seeing the need for that costs. Besides that I am a deaf Church Planter, so it isn't like my job is threatened by my hearing loss.
So far the only real problem is my cell phone. I am to the point that unless I know the person very well, like Linnea or my parents, I may not be able to talk with you on the phone.
