Rich? Really? I might be. That shouldn't really matter though.

His problem is that most likely my hearing loss is hereditary. My grandfather and uncle went through it. He said he doesn't know how he would handle it if we had a child who was hard of hearing or deaf. So your right. He isn't worth the time. I am going to take ASL at the local library this...

I'm from long island ny. About 30 mins from nyc. Newly diagnosed with progressive hearing loss. So far it seems to be fairly quickly progressing since I feel like one day i was fine and the next day i was getting yelled at for the tv being too loud and all my students were mumbling. Currently...

I am very encouraged by the support I have gotten here. The past few weeks I have felt very alone. All of a sudden things have gotten very different. I am guessing its when it got worse. Having an idea what I am facing makes it easier to deal with.

Thanks. I am thinking it has been a few years since I started to lose my hearing. I'm just a little nervous.

So I spent some time today looking online to try to find out what to expect from the hearing aids when I get them in 2 weeks. I then thought it would probably be best to get it from people who have been there. So I am posing this question here. What should I expect? I am sure it is different...

Phonak bolero

All done. They should be in a week to ten days. The molds didnt take long at all. We talked and he said again he can't tell me what the future will hold. He did tell me that the aids will only improve my life. I'm getting kind of excited. He told me that I won't have to crank the TV all the way...

Thanks. I am heading there in about 15mins. I am guessing I won't walk out of there with the hearing aids today? He probably has to order them. You have been helpful and calmed my nerves a little. I may try for the ASL class they offer through my library. It interests me a bit and the classes...

So I was awake most of the night thinking about my new reality. I am losing my hearing. The chances are it will be fast rather than slow. If I follow my uncles pattern I have a year or two left. I've also noticed it has gotten rapidly worse over a few months. I was in denial for a while...

Thank you for the perspective. I didn't really think of it that way. I'm going Monday and will take it one step at a time.

Thanks. I finally found the info and my insurance covers almost the whole cost of 1 which isn't bad. I'm going to have him order them Monday. I just find myself wondering about what is next. In the next few years you know?

It is hereditary. The ENT had treated my grandfather and uncle. Which I never knew. I knew my grandfather had gone deaf by 40 but not my uncle. He suggested Phonak behind the ear hearing aids but they are expensive. I'm not sure what my insurance covers. It's all very new and kinda shocking. I...

They found bilateral hearing loss. Mild to moderate in one year and moderate to severe in the other. This ENT had treated my grandfather (he just told me) and me when I was small for ear infections.

I tried to post about the results of my exam. For some reason it's not postin?.

Hey new here too. Looking for friends and info. Welcome.

Results The ENT was sweet and remembered me from childhood. After a thorough exam of my ears he suggested a hearing test which he did in his office. He has an audiologist in his office. After 3 types of tests and an exam he confirmed mild to moderate hearing loss in one ear and moderate to...

Thank you for your help. I made an appt with an ent I went to as a kid when I had crohniv ear infections. He is squeezing me in tonight at 430.

My grandfather began going to lose his hearing in his mid 30s and was completely deaf by 40. He didn't know why or anything really about it. We weren't close and neither were he and my father. I am 32 and lately I have had a lot of trouble understanding my students. I find that I am asking...
