Sorry in advance but none of my actual friends understand the pain I have due to the fact that they can hear perfectly.
For years when i was a kid, I had OTE hearing aids and when I got into high school I received a gift from an Aunt. CIC hearing aids from Starky. I have them up until recently when I hit a patch of bad luck with them.
Seems a year ago when they finally broke (dog knocked over my table and ate them) everything has gone downhill. I'm wearing a loaner OTE hearing aid that isn't suitable for me. I haven't had insurance since high school because I just can't afford it. When they broke, I went in and got a hearing test done and to talk about new hearing aids. I figured I would be able to pay for remoldings and whatnot. Bad news strikes again, my hearing went down significantly.
Since then almost everyone didn't understand what was so difficult to accept. I fell into a bad depression due to having one hearing aid which didn't really help me. I lost job after job after job. Now again, I'm at the same point in my life again where I lost my job because I didn't hear the boss tell me to do something.
I'm not looking for pity or sympathy. I'm just overly fustrated right now with everything. I hate not being able to do stuff. I was suppose to move back to Boston and those plans were completely ruined.
Again, I'm sorry but I know most people here understand what pain i'm talking about so I figured here would be the best place to talk about it.
