So my brother in law comes home last night and decides he too is now deaf. He announced that he's also going to get a Cochlear implant for Christmas and new hearing again for the new year. He has never even been to an audiologist and has never shown or mentioned any signs of hearing loss. I...

As some of you read my post earlier about my dog and brother in law, I was out doing some shopping and when I came home my gerbil is missing.

It's been awhile since I posted here but thought I'd reach out. My brother in law is staying with us because he and my wife's sister are not doing well. He is not blood related and honestly I don't care much for him. He will spend hours in the bathroom and always manages to clog the toilet. He...

I'm 41 years old and have been hearing impaired since 5. I had spinal meningitis. From 5 to 13 I could hear without my hearing aids but at 13 I had to rely on them all the time. Just another thing a 13 year old needs to go along with puberty and middle school ;). I've never learned to sign and...
