Blowing & Drifting

The other week, I got my right hearing aid back from the hearing-aid gnomes. It's not working right (ha!). I've already had to have it looked at once, and those adjustments (too arcane to both describing) were partly successful. But yesterday and today, I've been noticing a strange and annoying phenomenon: anytime I'm near a fluorescent light - and especially when one is turned on or off in my presence - the right aid pops and hums, clearly picking up some sort of interference. It's de-light-ful! I can't wait to try to explain it to the audiologist and see her try to use her fancy computer program to make me feel less like a malfunctioning android.
