A couple of years ago, I flew with a cold and ended up with one clogged ear and one ruptured ear drum. I could hear very little for several weeks, it was horrible. If I put the TV on “100,” literally, I could barely hear it.
We don’t go to many shows, but of course we had tickets for Jerry Seinfeld during this time. I used the assisted listening device the theater provided for free and it meant I could hear maybe 80-90 percent of what he was saying. I just had to put headphones on. I would definitely use it again if I needed to.
