Does anybody here have or had a hearing dog? what degree hearing loss do you have and how do you find it? what are your thoughts on hearing dogs? i have been thinking alot about it lately as i get older, i am almost 29 single, but still living with my mum, i have moderate-severe sensori neural hearing loss, both ears. nights have always been exceptionaly hard for me, get scared at any little noise i may happen to hear but have no idea did i hear it or imagine it, etc. did i hear a noise or is it just my tinitus. what happens if mum dosnt hear her alarm and dosnt come wake me up , or if she cant attend my appointments to tell me when my name is called , as for phones doors, all that sort stuff, not a chance of hearing it. i can not hear my phone when its right on or by me.
i have never owned a dog but always wanted one, but always had cats, but our cat had to be put down recently so i have been thinking alot about wanting a dog, not necessarily a special hearing dog, but i think any dog in general would be a great assisstance just knowing it is here and if there is anything major such as smoke alarm it would possibly make a fuss etc. of course my mum atm dosnt want to know anything about getting a dog :/ i just think my confidence level esp at night would improve so much.
