Waxing Lyrically With My Sound

Having been lacking hearing since childhood not completely but without it in full remember Xrays at six showing irregularity but nothing could be done where I stood Only partial deaf on my right side which was to my detriment to learn but left school at 15, to be at work so was still able to work and earn So many years later hearing grew worse then got hearing aids from National Health at first, was helpful but never great as wax in the eardrum was a real curse Syringe my ears were now required as the wax filled my ears so much but the hearing was very inconsistent as drastic action now being retired Now I paid private and went digital waxing lyrically with my sound what a difference3 that was made as I hear words clearly now I've found So the lesson learned is don't give up even when you think it will fail maybe there's something around the corner to release you from your deaf jail

Hi Gordon, First of all, I must say your title alone grabbed my attention. I thought your poem was going to be about records. With that being said, I am glad I stopped by to read you today. Kudos to you for not giving up. I'm happy you found the device needed to help you hear, my friend-Alexis
