I had an appointment with audie today for new hearing aids. I have been using some for 11 years now. It was time for new ones. But they told me my mild to moderate hearing loss didn't qualify for my insurance. Which I have used insurance for the last 2 sets and my hearing hasn't changed. They...

I have apd on top of mild to mod hearing loss. A lot of people never mind it as a form of hearing loss. I would tell qn audie I have it so I am constantly piecing words together base upon what I heard. But not a lot understand. But hey I always ace the word recognition part of the test. I try to...

This is a very interesting condition. I never heard of it until now, ps don't Google images it with safety off. Anyways it is definitely worth looking more into for my babe. We had her genetically tested for fragile x but she didn't have that. I'm always looking for help for her to make sure I...

She is in a special class in school. 7 students max with 5 teachers. Speech at school and outside once a week each. At least 3 of her cousins are adhd and autistic. Plus her other parent is. They just aren't as severe as she is. Her cousins are in mainstream classes and doing great. We tired...

This is so true, a lot of people think it's dirty or slutty or what not to love more than one person at a time. But it's a give and take from each person. One might give you something another person can't but you love them the same way.

My autistic child can not write or read. She also have an intellectual disability making her mentally 5 and severe adhd, all hereditary. As for my daughter losing her vision it is also hereditary. My sister has it too. Both of their eyes are health with no signs of disease or anything. But my...

We don't know what is going on with my 8 year old. Her eye is completely health. It's the same as my sister's. Her eye is healthy and tracks perfectly but blind. They don't know why, just gave up when she was a child. My 9 year old loves video games, we play Diablo 3 all the time together. She...

I will look into this. I do have a blind school in my state although I don't know how good it is. It use to be an independent school. But was knocked down and the blind kids went to the deaf school. Now I don't know if they are still at the deaf school or another location. All I know is it's in...

Honestly I have never heard of o and m. I don't know much about blindness. I am trying to learn as much as I can. She can still see at the moment. So I want all my ducks in a row. I will look into o and m

I understand what you are saying. It is tricky and some times there are no other options.

Yes we have a ton of hearing people on here. Everyone is welcome here.

I 100% agree with this. I worked in a group house with elderly woman who were dumped at a facility as babies/children. They seemed to stuck in a child like state because that's how people treat them. They see them as less or child like even in older age. There is also a lot of angels of mercy...

My partner and I are hoh and my 8 year old has an eye disease. She is not blind yet. But it's going faster than expected. What's left of my hearing will be going in a few months after a much needed surgery. Knowing all of this in advance we had the same problem, but more time to think. So my...

I got with my partner almost 11 years ago. I started learning sign myself 14 years ago. When I was 15. It was amazing having another world open for me. I had mod hearing loss back them. I had a few partners in high school but all hated signing all the time. But when I meet my now partner they...
