hi! this is first notification - of today's responses I've got in decades - have AD changed something?
sorry, I meant 'level', from severely hard of hearing to hard of hearing, oral to almost well-spoken, hearing loss to elder, etc. etc. etc.
forgive me for answering this late.
re: some of you fear if you yourself mentioned "I'm deaf," they'll think you're deaf completely even with hearing aids.. glad I asked. never thought of that. but, maybe I never thought of that because when I look at the person and s/he (I have met plenty) has HAs on and is saying she's deaf, I cannot really say "oh, then why do you have hearing aids on if you're deaf all the way," you know? however, if you don't have HAs on at that time of the question, would you be able to tell "I can hear but only with HAs, so I'm, basically, deaf at the moment now."?
I guess it depends on the attitude of person and its stupidity who asks you. you shall not fear that.
I am not profoundly deaf, but I don't consider myself a "form of hearie" either. I am HOH. Can you clarify this for me?
