Hi i need help

Oh, you need help alright.

First let me clarify for you from a medical standpoint. No medical professional can tell you when you're going to lose your hearing... especially a general care doctor. You posted at that time you went to a doctor which wasn't even an ENT at the time and they said you're going to lose your hearing in about a year. Nobody can tell you when you're going to lose your hearing. The best any medical professional can do is look at the damage that is done and make an estimate if what is causing the damage continues at the rate it is continuing, how long it will take on average. Based on the fact this was not an ENT, I can only assume this analysis was either made up in your mind... or incorrect. Personally I believe it was made up in your mind based on your follow up posts.

Let us continue off of this spin as if it were fact, anyway... just to humor the situation. If you were indeed at risk of losing your hearing ( diagnosed by a general doctor who would not really do this but send you to an ENT ) and they said "Hey, you are losing your hearing because of loud music, you have about a year based off of the damage I see." What do you think that we would tell you next? We would ADVISE YOU TO STOP LISTENING TO LOUD MUSIC! Now, there are a few things wrong with this as well. 1) 90% of people ( Most young people ) listen to loud music. It definitely takes a toll and causes a degree of hearing loss but it is so minor it is rarely noticeable in younger years. So unless you're going to concerts every single day, parking your butt next to the amp speaker and placing your ear on the sub-woofer I suggest you reevaluate your statement. Your headphones or CD player in your room aren't really going to do anything much to your hearing to create that large of a difference. Most electronic devices these days when you turn them up have an annoying setting that warns you ( Loud music can damage your hearing ) and you can say *Yes I know* and keep turning it up. What you may not know is even when you go beyond that stupid warning there is still a restriction on it. It can only go so loud and is regulated as to NOT create severe hearing issues. To state your sudden hearing issues were brought on solely by loud music is asinine and laughable. If prior hearing issues had existed, I would have suspected a longer response to Botts question asking "What caused your hearing issues" than you leaving it at "Listening to loud music." No, there's no saving you now.

Now that I am done entertaining your loud music theory of complete an utter beans, we can move further to what really toasted my cinnabuns. The fact that you pity us and WANT to be deaf. Do NOT pity us, we don't want your pity. You can take that, wrap it up, eat it, flush it, shove it up your nose or whatever the hell else you want to do with it, but do NOT pity us... we don't want it.

The desire to be deaf... really? I think you have been watching a little too much Switched at Birth. I want you to sit there and think for a little bit of exactly what it would mean to be deaf... not to be able to hear anything. No music, no voices, no sound... You think good and hard about that. I was born Deaf and am quite familiar with this by now... You don't just get to turn it off as you please! Sure, I have a C.I. but I have talked to late deafened friends and hear that it is nothing like real hearing. Do you think this is some sort of choice you just get to make? I want you to think about and consider what having absolutely no hearing means when you have grown up with hearing. Vibrating alarm clocks, not realizing when people are talking to you half the time, people getting frustrated because you can't understand them and saying never mind all the time because you surely aren't going to be a gifted lipreader! I am incredibly proficient at lipreading and I still miss crap all the time. ( plus people don't enunciate :squint: ) Think about everything that you know now, and take away the hearing aspect of that... it's not a walk in the park... think about employment alone... yeah, that's a blast for the Deaf community! :roll:

Listen to what I am saying... You clearly have some self acceptance issues. My lashing would be 10 fold as bad if I didn't realize you were a kid. You're a kid... you seriously need to learn to accept yourself as is. Coming to find a community where you will be accepted for a common ground off of one thing doesn't work. Nobody is going to be your friend simply because you share being deaf. We work the same way as everyone else out there... You can be deaf all you want, but we might have the opposite tastes in everything out there so we're not going to make good friends. ( Plus I'm a 27 year old medical professional and quite frankly you're 15 and based off your posts I'm not incredibly impressed ) To come to this forum to seek Deaf friends and to be active in the community is one thing. To come here and pity us, say you're losing your hearing off things that make absolutely no sense and say you WANT to be deaf... that's completely insane! You need to learn to love and accept yourself for who you are, not try to come in here and spout off things like this... this... ATROCITY of a thread and do whatever it was you were trying to do in here... This is terrible... just terrible. You know who I pity? I pity you... I pity the fact you can't accept yourself for who you are enough to be yourself and happy with it... don't you pity me for being Deaf. I accept and embrace my Deafness.

Is there an applause emote?

The very first post in this thread I thought "Switched at Birth". Also at 15 her doctor would have discussed this with her parents. I think all 15 year olds have heard from someone that they are going to go "deaf" if the keep listening to loud music. I still don't get why young hearing people want to come on this site and even worse pretend to be deaf. To say jokingly or not that you wish you were deaf is awful. You have no clue what it is like not being able to hear your loved ones voices, movies, tv, phone, rain, wind and apparently a big one for you MUSIC!!

I get that you are young and I think you seriously need to talk to someone about how you feel. Remember the people you may meet on the internet could be totally taking advantage of your lack of knowledge.

You have to remember we are in public online, members or non-members. For me and others here on forum, we are being blunt to let Lee Grace know that we are being insulted by her comment about feeling pity or sorry for us.

I agree with Mew that a 15 years old girl is listening to loud music. I don't understand why medical doctor instead of ENT specialist had to tell her and predict that she was going to lose her hearing in the future. Was her hearing damage or less hair in her ear canal? It could be wax in her ears for all we know. This is far fetch diagnosed coming from a medical doctor who did not sent her to the ENT specialist.

Most medical doctors don't know everything about anatomy especially in the deaf, blind, handicapped and Down Syndrome. That is why there are different specialist for every medical problem and will pass down to the family medical doctor to explain what cause this disability. After the ENT, Lee Grace will have to go to the audiologist to test out how much hearing loss she had lost. If necessary checking out the audiograms, she might need hearing aid(s) so that she can hear environment sounds. It won't be the same like normal hearing, not even CI. Those devices are just tools for us to use sounds only, not pick up words at all. Maybe some mild hearing loss can make out picking up words, but if they could not make it out what a hearing person is saying. That is why we need ASL more than trying to understand by lipreading.

I was agreeing with Mew and I think you posted some good information for some others. "Lack of knowledge" and people taking advantage is a good reminder for all young girls.
 
Switched at birth is a bad influencing on young hearing teenagers. Me think,,


Mew. I can't stop laughing about the huge hand printed the ground within a tiny human lying down . :rofl:
 
Hey stop making fun of me

Believe me kid, I am just ignoring you and hoping to find some fun in this embarrassing disaster. Lucky the tree hugger has intelligence and a bit of a sense of humor.

That is my trademark and favorite face palm ever... :laugh2: I about peed myself when I first saw it back when. :laugh2:
 
Hey stop making fun of me

She wasn't making fun of you.... Bott tends to ignore drama... because she's mature... I however don't have that ability yet and call it out... :D So sorry for you....

You're... a drama pit... Personally speaking off of your posts I can't really believe a word that comes out of your mouth... You seem to spread drama more than ants cover honey at a picnic mid spring in the park by a tree. There's my opinion. Basically, I stick by my first assessment. I think you are unhappy with yourself and are creating a fake persona to get people to like you, or pity you... probably both. I'm not falling for it. I don't like drama, and I don't enjoy it... Spreading it everywhere you go is not a good start to making friends, that is my advice.

*sizzle* Yes, I can be blunt and mean... but I can also be sweet and nice as long as you're an honest person and treat others with respect. I understand you're 15, but this is when you learn life lessons that stick with you for the rest of your life. If you don't talk to anyone, you really don't. This is my advice that you need to take to heart.
 
Well, since Mew has this handled... :popcorn:

But I just want to state... people can see through the bullshit the longer you try to hold up this "help me I'm going deaf because of loud music and my parents don't know" front.

:slap:

Good luck.
 
Can we just lock this and call it a day? I went nearly deaf at almost twice your age. Do you have any idea the hell that is losing your music? I'm not going to be mean and spout the venom that's fermenting in my guts right now but suffice it to say, you need to grow up. And for God's sake figure out a coherent sentence.
