There is nothing the matter with me, I'm healthy as can be, I have arthritis in both of my knees, And when I talk, I talk with a wheeze, My pulse is weak and my blood is thin, But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in. Arch supports I have for my feet, Or I wouldn't be able to be on the street, Sleep is denied me night after night, But every morning I find I'm all right, My mem'ry is falling, my head's in a spin, But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in. How do I know that my youth is all spent? Well, my "get up and go" has got up and went, But I really don't mind when I think with a grin, Of all the grand places my "get up" has been. Old age is golden, I've heard it said, But sometimes I wonder as I get into bed, With my ears in the drawer," my teeth in a cup", My eyes on the table until I wake; E're sleep comes o'er me, I say to myself: "Is there anything else I should lay on the shelf?"

New technology developed in the past several years can help most people with hearing loss to achieve improved communication. Today's hearing instruments have evolved from simple devices to remarkably sophisticated and technologically advanced personal hearing computers. In just the last few years, more advances in hearing aid technology have been made than throughout history. In many hearing aids, there are no longer knobs or controls, because the instruments automatically adjust loudness. Some hearing aids are programmed so that they require only the push of a button either on the hearing aid or on a wireless remote control to switch to different listening situations and provide balanced sound in the office, at home, on the telephone, or at a concert. Digital and digitally programmable hearing aids have been introduced that amplify signals in new ways and make the benefits of hearing aids even more customized. Many hearing aids are virtually computers with flexible and sophisticated processors that analyze and respond to specific sounds. Some advanced hearing instruments process sound more than a million times per second. To find out more about these latest advancements call... The Georgetown Creating confident smiles since 1982.
