I can't believe he didn't schedule a whole series of tests and Xrays just to 'cover his A%%!'

Hey GB. I think you made the right decision. I bet you will get used to all the new sounds pretty quick and really enjoy it, especially the music. And I think you should post all you need to if that will help you get through this. That's what we're here for, to help and support each other. I'll be praying for you and hope everything goes well.

this post is reminding me to take better care of my ears. I am not one of the young people with the music too loud (although my husband is in that boat) I do spend many hours a day in a nosiy woodshop filled with 12 year olds.
good luck with the insurance and keep us posted with everything.

Tough part for you Katie, is you have to be able to hear the kids.
You might try and see if the school budget could pop for some noise canceling ear muffs they are designed to block high DB sounds but still be able to hear speech. Wouldn't hurt if they could provide them for the students too but that is probably a stretch. Do a search and see how expensive they are, maybe you could at least get them for yourself the kids are only exposed for the better part of an hour, but you are exposed much longer, and the damage to the inner ear is cumulative.
Food for thought.

For my 2 cents, I think you are doing the right thing GB. Looking forward to how it all comes about. You will enjoy being able to hear what you are missing and if music is one of them that's a big plus. I enjoy it too, having been singing since I was little, with an appreciation for good music and quality.
