Hey, Jwillisbarrie I checked the link you sent..
It was very interesting but it's not like the one I have cause mine just drop like 70 volume down.. just like that..

Right now is worse than it was 4 months ago..
but again right now is waaaaay better than how it's gonna be 4 months later..
I have an appointment after a week and if things were headed that way I'll start taking some pills..

In the link you sent me the person had a problem for 10 minutes and it comes and goes,
which I believe is a hearing problem more than it's anything else.. What do you think?

"I am pretty sound great not bad!" What does that mean?
And I'm gonna be honest with you I have 0 experience I don't know anyone deaf in my circle.. Which is bad in a way..
I had a phase when I was 16 in translating songs to ASL!
does that count?!

I know no one in the deaf community but I would love to! I mean Why not?!
You're honestly the first one.. :fingersx:

Fluctuating Hearing Loss (like we were talking about in the FHL thread) is actually very different, an entirely different condition than pycho-symatic or conversion disorder hearing issues.

Conversion disorders are psychological in nature - it's a way the brain deals with stress but there is actually nothing "wrong" with the ear or processing.

With fluctuating hearing loss is actual changes is ones hearing loss caused by environmental or physical changes - the person has a confirmed physical hearing loss at all times though.

APD - is a different neurological condition which is also "physical" in that the brain actually incorrectly processes sounds (more obvious in noisy backgrounds, but there all the time).

APD, like SNHL & CHL doesn't have a psychological component at all. In contrast conversion disorder hearing issues are psychological in nature.

For this reason conversion disorder hearing issues aren't treated with hearing aids (because there's nothing wrong with the actual hearing) , instead it's treated with therapy and medications which treat the underlying mental health causes of the conversion disorder (anxiety, trauma etc).

What about me? I am the mother of two and grandmother of four all of whom are under age five. I am deaf, and I understand you are Smithtr both just fine.

And yes he is patient, and he is also one of the nicest young men you could meet.

And if he doesn't understand you, I translate that also! :lol:
 
the audiologist told me that deafness different from unable to listen.unable to listen was a brain disorder due to illness or brain damage even mental,what ever it very real problem

Umm Caz I never talked to audiologist I went to a ENT specialist who sent me somewhere else..
I could understand the difference between them is "unable to listen" means
is that you can hear people but not know what they said?
Cause mine is not like that

Did you check "Anij" comment? it was very helpful!
 
sorry i meant e.n.t.i picking up lots of americanisms,i not sure myself the difference well i do but i cant put it in words..i think audilogist deals with hearing aids that sort of stuff ,i use see e.n.t but little point now i go to audoligist sort hearing aids but hate wearing them so little point going
the hear and listening thing i can see how but hard put into words

I think conversion disorder is what in "the old days" was called hysteria, manifested in hysterical blindness, hysterical mutism, hysterical deafness, etc. In fact, I think that was the idea behind Tommy.
