But plain humble brown is all I want. I did look under all the furniture to see if Elvis might have swatted it under something, but no luck. So I'm wearing my black covers at the moment. From behind I probably look like a character out of Star Wars. Aw, that’s sweet of you all to offer me techno covers, etc! But plain humble brown is all I want.

Want one of those? I have blue swirlies, green swirlies, orange, and...ah...the other color escapes me at the moment... I hate that you lost it. Those things are too expensive to replace, and mine fall off way too easily! I have no brown cover…I have the Techno caps. Want one of those?

I notice the sense of direction. I can tell which direction noise is coming from. I also found my "good" ear is not the best with bilateral. I hear clearer with my "bad" ear. Sorry, I painted "CI Hear" on my brown cover. I will look again, it could have been the silver one. My art teacher painted and decorated my covers. It is so amazing the differences in bilateral.

Hearing in noise was one of the first things I noticed when I went bilateral. . . background noise settled in the background like it was supposed to. I have Cochlear. . . but if I could, I'd help you out with your cover! Maybe the cat ate it? Mike,
