Hearing aid

I just got my hearing aid this morning, and I feel as though I can hear everything. Every crinkle paper bag, leaves beneath my feet, whispers between strangers across the parking lot are all crisp and clear. My own voice which is been loud for a long time is now an amplified sound in my left ear and I realize how softly I can speak and still be heard. I can adjust the microphones and the volume and mute the device completely from my phone, but I'm enjoying the sounds too much to want to do anything but listen.
