Bridget; I really belive you already walked more than halfway towards improving your hearing imparement; keep programming yourself if possible 3 times a day, thinking something like you're turning up the radio volumen (meaning increasing your hearing capability), or think of something more creative, or if you have a Silva mind instructor near your hometown ask for some advice; I almost have my migranes gone I've been a silva practitioner just 4 months ago, and you can get almost any think you want. So give it a try, Don't have any thing to loose (except your hearing loss). be well Jorge
