Tried being a good hubby by grilling burgers for dinner since my wife had a bit of a rough day at work...turns out Teriyaki is flammable and I single handedly ruined today's dinner and my wife's lunch for tomorrow. Pizza it is! #dinnerfail

I used to have a full mold but those would make my ears sweat and give me a deep itch that I couldn't relieve. These newer ones only itch where that thin piece makes contact. I suppose it's the lesser of two evils but I still prefer not wearing any.

It would also be a more expensive representation, and I already know some signs whereas I do not know any foreign spoken languages.

Thank you for clarifying, I've been raised in a hearing world and did not realize there was a difference. These are the things I hope to learn from this site and all of the awesome people here. Thanks again.

FaceTime anyone? I'm open for a short while longer. I think I know enough to be conversational...maybe.

How would I be able to find the Deaf Community near me? (Just south of Indianapolis, IN) Google.com hasn't been helpful.

Been HOH since grade 2, that's when I got my first h.a. I meant I'm still hearing as in I still have the ability to hear...didn't know hearing was so confusing.

Cats and ferrets? I don't follow.

Yes, longer than 1 day. Maybe week, 2 week.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean

The h.a. I have now don't have molds. I'll have to take a picture and post it so you can see.

As of yet I am still hearing, although I've been classified as 50% loss in my left ear and 75% loss in my right ear. Would it be insensitive of me to do an experiment in which I wear earplugs for an extended amount of time (7+days) just to see what the future may hold?

I'm HOH and have always had a job (at least since graduating high school) Although there are some professions i can't do because of my hearing. I currently read electric meters for a living. I walk an average of 12-16 miles everyday m-f

Looking for an in person ASL buddy so I can learn. I'm HOH and need/want to learn ASL before I become deaf. No weirdos please. Haha

The ones I have now don't have an on/off switch or a volume control, I have to open the battery door to shut them off and the volume control is automatic. They're the best ones I've had (only ever had BTE) but the part that goes inside my ear is itchy.

H.A. in my experience make everything louder. My main problem comes from deciphering between my conversation and surrounding noise (cars, TV, other people talking) but with hearing aids they amplify everything and just make it worse for me. Not to mention they make my ears sweaty...

4+ years ago, same time I had my last test. But I don't remember exact figures. :/

I've had them since grade 2

Not directly. But I was thinking that after I posted.
