Today was a day of ups and downs, meaning that we went through a lot of mountains and hills, not the least of which was Cabbage Hill as soon as we left Pendleton. Mark was amazed that we climbed it at 40 mph today! Usually, he says, we can only go 30 or 35 mph. He doesn’t know what made the difference today.

I have a new doctor who will be working with me now and he took my hearing aids to the second level. Wow!

Last month, Mark learned about a place that could help with tinnitus. The place’s name is Hearing and Brain Centers of America and it’s up north of Phoenix. He’s had tinnitus constantly for many years, so he went in and got tested and found he has Stage 2 hearing loss. They said that tinnitus comes from the brain, not from your hearing, and that it can also lead to Alzheimer’s and dementia. He was given something that is kind of like a hearing aid, only not. They set it at the lowest setting and told him to return in a week for an adjustment.
