My name is Alex Clay, I am 28 years old and live in Denver, CO. I have suffered from progressive hearing loss for most of my adult life and was implanted with the Esteem, a middle ear implant developed my Envoy Medical (www.envoymedical.com) in August 2011. This blog captures my experience in learning to hear again.

Hearing Aids In The Shower
The weirdest thing has been happening to me recently. I am still not 100% used to hearing different sounds so every time I get into the shower, I start to freak out when I hear all of the noises of the shower. I scramble to pull my hearing aid out and then realize that I do not have my hearing aid in. There is nothing to "take out" because I am hearing this out of my "real" ear. I am hearing with my Esteem! There used to be so many occasions when I would forget to take my hearing aids out when I got in the shower and would realize 30 seconds after that they were still in. I would frantically scream for Fraser to come get them and put them in my dry box. I am actually surprised my hearing aids are still working…I am so thankful that I no longer have to worry about this happening!
