So I was able to get a test run of hearing aids and holy crap! It was hard not to get emotional with what a difference they made; i had no idea how much i had been missing out on. Not only that, but these were a cross over type--that is, the one in my deaf ear transmitted the sound to my functional ear, so that i could hear from that side again as well (no weird tilting of my head this way and that while talking to people).
When the hearing aids were taken off, everything was muffled and muted in comparison.

The problem is, the ones that I need cost multiple $$$$

So, this Sunday I'll be opening for commissions through private notes. Prices will be posted in the journal (and any included tips will reflect in the finished piece!), and any shinies will be graciously accepted ^_^

Thank you for your help in advance :)
