I positively hate my hearing aids, not because they don't work, but because they make it so I hear everyyyything. I think I went without them for so long that now that I have a 20 year old unaided loss, it'll take me that long to get used to them, but because I don't like them I never wear them...

I was fitted for hearing aids last year at 20 after many years with an undiagnosed hearing loss. The majority of people I'm with are above 50, so the old, "you're young and don't have medical problems" is a very real issue. Due to this, I'm often accused of having a "listening issue". For an...

I have the approximate hearing capability of a lightbulb, and because of that, I'm not always aware of alarms, and other such things. I'm just wondering if there's some system out there that would alert me to noises at the door (I won't hear it open and close so if there's someone in my house, i...

I start school in the fall to become a mortician (which is another discussion in and of itself) In order to get my full acceptance, I needed to complete some work experience in a funeral home. It'll take two full days to get my hours in. First day goes swimmingly, not much for me to do so I...

I'm signing up for membership with my provinces deaf and hard of hearing service thing and on the forms it asks you to identify as Deaf Late deafened Hard of hearing Hearing I have no idea what they mean, help lol?

So last year, before I got my hearing aids, I was alone in my house in my living room for the evening, parents and my little bork of dog were out. They all come home asking me what I did to the back door to wreck it. I never touched the back door, I say, and they show it to me. Clearly someone...

I'm trying to decide on an alert system. I need to know when someone's at my door, and be able to have an alarm clock. I'm usually pretty good at figuring out the doorbell when my hearing aids are in, but when they're out (which is as often as possible because I like my peace and quiet) there's...

Hello my lovelies! I was found to be hard of hearing last year, and I've now been reading more into the culture. I have a profoundly deaf cousin, who isn't involved in deaf anything at all, so I didn't even know this sort of support system existed. It's nice to hear from other young people like...
