Hearing is costing me money.
I’m not referring to the CI device itself, batteries, appointments, etc….even though they do add up 
I’m referring to music.
I’m buying more songs from iTunes and on top of that I’m starting to notice how the same thing can sound differently with different speakers/sound systems. I can tell there’s a difference in the quality of music on my laptop vs iPod. I can tell there’s a difference between other people’s computer speakers.
I used to be perfectly fine with cheap speakers because I couldn’t notice a difference in sound quality. Now I’m starting to get a bit whinny about my laptop’s speakers, lol.
I could never understand why hearing people were so willing to blow hundreds of dollars on speaker systems. Now I know.
Seriously. This whole hearing thing is taking a toll on my checking account. 😉
Life Is About Creating Yourself 
There's a very very noticeable difference between tiny built in laptop speakers and a $30 3 piece speaker set with 2 speakers and a subwoofer. Beyond that I can't tell much difference in sound quality really. 🙂
Since you say something about buying more song from itune, instead doing that, go to library and check out their music CD, you can check it out and bring home to download for free!Yes, some CDs are little bit out of date but you never know you will find good/ best CD.Or, if you have $5 bucks and want to purchase a cup of Starbuck, go on Tuesday or a day after Tuesday to pick up card to download one music for free.
