    relative quiet

    What is wrong with me? I got my first ever hearing aid today and I love it, I mean it's absolutely wonderful. But it makes me appreciate the relative silence I've grown used to. I now have a moderate hearing loss in both ears which is progressive (Meniere's). Every time I have an attack...

    "Tone of voice" and being deaf/HOH

    Oh no this is not "hogwash"! As my hearing loss progresses I can hear tone of voice less and less! I usually end up offending people because I ask if they're upset because I can't read their facial expressions and then they get mad and say "why do you think I'm upset??!". It's strange listening...

    Oh my gosh!!

    Yeah that's why I'm thinking BTEs might be the way to go for the next one. Since my loss is progressive within a couple years the tiny aids won't help a whole lot. Thanks!! :dance2:

    Blind Dog = Dead Dog??

    I don't! Dogs rely so much on the sense of smell that I've known people who never knew their dog was blind until the dog's vet checked the dog's eyes. The dogs navigate just fine. I even know of someone whose guide dog was mostly blind but continued to guide them; the only reason the dog's...

    Oh my gosh!!

    OK I'm over the initial shock. I'd forgotten what summer sounded like ~ all the birds, locusts, the sound of the wind from an open window, the sound of people talking across a parking lot. This is amazing. I kept taking the aid out and then putting it back in to compare LOL In a strange way...

    Wolf is now sneaking into someone's yard next to the forest and swimming in the pool because it's 95 freaking degrees outside. The wolf is now very mellow and won't chase anyone.

    Blind Dog = Dead Dog??

    That is so sad and wrong! I agree those animals deserve loving homes. The potential home might have to be a certain way, like to place a blind cat in a home with dogs ready to pounce wouldn't be fair, but there are so many homes where these animals could be very happy!! My dog Sadie lived to...
