Since there are so many Musicians hanging around here, I thought I would post one of what happens to old singers (Eastman School '68) when both their voices and ears get worn out (Actually the voice is just fine, the ears are just about shot and I can't sing well with the hearing aids...)

A generic hearing aid won't do that for you; essentially what I'm talking about is a hearing aid that works in multiple bands. A regular audiologist won't really be able to help you; get one that specializes in working with musicians (they do exist). It will take a little bit of looking but will be worth it. Take it from a long time (50 year+) musician.
I go to a lady who has a doctorate in Audiology and is thee best around these parts. I have Seimens Digital Music Pro(s) with 3 different settings built in. I could sing with them but the problem is it just doesn't sound right and it's not fun to sing. I sound way too loud to myself. I still can sing without the hearing aids, but as I said no longer "fun" to sing..... You are absolutely right about going to someone who really knows what they are doing, she does work with some musicians as a part of her business BTW. Unfortunately I probably would have to drive or fly several hundred miles to get a "specialist" and I really don't plan on singing for a career anyway (retired school music teacher having too much fun doing other things at this time of life). I have just purchased my 3rd. and last Classical Guitar, a Spanish Cordoba hand made with built in electronics. So I am very content to get going and get the guitar back under my fingers.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks guys, good eye Rotor...I can't really add many details that won't bore everyone here to tears. It is an all original 69 SS/RS 350 Camaro...and give Packers#1 a break, I can't tell you how many people want to know what year my Mustang is and to keep this train related I have crossed railroad tracks in it and have driven it to a hobby shop or two . Also it's the reason I won't have a layout in my new one bedroom condo...the garage is saved for the Camaro and there is nowhere else to put a layout.

Thanks Modelmaker51,
My interests are more in the scenery side of things but have been too busy and not enough room, but thankfully my son and I made room for a bit of fun, we shall enjoy making another small Diorama, with a bit of track to run the small loco and a few wagons(oops cars for you guys) on and at least I shall have lots of fun detailing everything...
We are making it so it can be extended at a later date, but it will be a hwile till we can work out extra room...So its stuck to being 12 ft long, 2ft 6 wide with an extra bit at the corner of another 3ft...
My son is the only other in our family that likes trains so we are exiled from everyone most of the time...
