Rather than being embarassed, I feel very frustrated and afraid to open up. More often than not, i pretend i understand what others say. I was taught from a young age by my mother to hide the fact that I am HOH, because she thinks I'll get belittled and tells me to hide it from employers if i...

Hi, I have a friend who is hoh and is interested in studying marketing. She wants to get insight from HOH people who have worked in the marketing industry and the challenges face as a HOH. Any replies or views would be appreciated!! Thank you!

I was thinking if I should apply for physiotherapy in a university and emailed the university to enquire if HOH people were eligible to enrol in the course. Sadly, I received a reply stating HOH people were not eligible to apply for it due to the nature of the course. Feeling kind of...

I do as well.. i sometimes miss out small details when working in a group. I also hate to do meetings since I would miss a lot information. I was told to improve on my pronunciation by a lecturer. So i told another lecturer about the problems i faced and how my speech may not be clear so he...

Welcome back! Wow that sucks :\ is it progressing very fast?

Well I think they only bothered to inform teachers back then.. since I would only visit the school dentist twice a year. I do hope no one else experienced the same thing then. He was such a surly dentist.

Rather than focusing on whether they hear or not, i let my body or brain decides if I am attracted to them. I don't think it matters if they hear or not because if you love that person, you would be willing to communicate or find ways to work it out :)

I don't use it often but it sure updates me on what my friends do or eat. The filters are really fun! Try it! They eat a lot of mobile data though

Wow that is a really rude teacher. Sometimes i wonder why some teachers become teachers if they were never there to teach or ensure everyone learns well? I had my fair share of rude teachers. I always covered my HA with my hair since I felt comfortable without people pestering me and i guess...

I know how you feel.. more often, rather than being afraid of the job, im more afraid of the interaction between people! I guess i can say i hate being isolated/lonely. It makes me feel really down when I'm alone. Everytime its a big group, i struggle so much and everyone seems to understand...

Amazing that AD came so far and I believe it was able to keep going because of everyone here. I'm fairly new and I believe there will always be new people streaming into AD to make friends, improve knowledge and find comfort in others :)

I think its fine to use it after a shower/taking HA out since its already so hot and stuffy. I think the wax would have melted to a certain point, making it easier to clean. It gets itchy so cleaning it feels addicting when the itch stops. When i was young i didnt know better. Poked my eardrums...

Say whattt?! They have colours now?! But well.. i dont use moulds anymore :(

Welcome!

Hello! A late welcome to AD! I totally understand your feelings because I experienced the same thing growing up. But don't let that affect you! We all lose friends along the way regardless whether you are hearing or hoh. Its a process of life. Eventually there will always be those who cherish...

I get this a lot!! Just earlier today my brother in law was whispering to me and obviously it looked like he was mumbling!! I just tried to follow but urgh the frustration.. I guess this is something we all have to deal with because they can't relate or know how much we can actually hear. But...

Congrats on your new cute little addition and welcome Daxtyre!! Hurray for sept babies! Welcome to the sept gang :) I'm a proud sept baby too.

I'm really glad for you!! Its great you have such an understanding and supportive teacher. I'm sure your journey to adulthood will be smoother. :D

I'll look into it. Hopefully there will be better technology when Im done with studying!

I agree because my mum does things a hearie can do and doesnt understand her condition. I ever told her about learning ASL but she seemed reluctant to learn despite making my siblings and I having to shout at her for her to hear us. Then she goes mad saying "why are you shouting at me?!" Talk...
