Hearing Aids

[Sluggo42]

So today was my first round with my new hearing aids. A lifetime of drumming and loud jobs took their toll. Anyways, so many new sounds!

the G400lst is loud! Whack! I love it

the evnroll actually “clicks” when I hit a putt.

Cars driving by are loud. birds are fricking loud! My buddy tells lousy jokes. The cart sounds like the jetsons. Iron shots sound interesting.

its like a whole new game...

I use hearing amplification/reducing hearing aids when hunting and it is amazing the different sounds you hear that you normally wouldn't.

Enjoy all the new/renewed sounds around you.

Does the clink of the ball going into the hole sound better?

Absolutely true! 

I got my hearing aids at the start of my 18 month absence from golf, so the “golf” sounds were not so noticeable at first upon my return. I attributed most of my issues to losing “the feel around the greens”.

 

The biggest thing for me was the sound off the putter. At first I thought I was really striking the ball hard with a loud “whack” yet still coming up a few inches short. I even got a “quieter” putter and “softer” wedges. Didn’t help.

 

Then Apple updated the iPhone which shut my hearing aids off temporarily. I played without my hearing aids and didn’t leave any putt short. Lesson learned was I was not hitting the ball near as hard as it sounded.

 

I considered making a thread about that. The “Sound of Feel” that Mizuno talks about is a real think. Distance control, especially around the greens, is much different with hearing aids.

Haha! Yes. It’s really loud.

Now that I’ve thought about this I always enjoyed the sight of the ball going in the hole, but lately it has been the sound also.
