I have been thinking about some things for several months. I have been asking people, "What did you say?" a LOT. I started having problems hearing people...maybe...2,3,4...years ago. Who knows? My audiogram used to be just about perfect. Well, now it ain't so hot. My loss isn't so bad. Some is mild. Some is moderate. I do a lot of guessing. Filling in the gaps. Some lipreading.
I am sick of it. Someone (at a local CSD) told me I should use an interpreter for medical appointments, etc. I thought it was an "odd" idea, but it worked. I had been so "anxious" about going to the doctor's for YEARS. I have a great doctor. I found a HoH psychologist who SIGNS. He dx'ed me with Asperger's and I also have Tourette's. I should really see a neurologist for these conditions, but I see a psychiatrist who is very easy to talk to.
I don't think hearing aids will help my problem. Nothing will.
