    I already have tinnitus for me it sounds like "eeeeee" all the time this one kind of felt like a thumping sound but only in my left ear.

    Going deaf in one ear randomly?

    I finally found a thread about this! This is something that has started happening to me. My hearing will drop down to a barely anything and then my tinnitus will suddenly become so loud as if the volume of it wa9s turned up high I can't hear anything over it. It lasts for a few minutes then...

    What are you doing right now? Part II

    You are right it is something to think about. I always just thought or rather wanted to believe if I don't need a hearing aid for the right ear that means/qualify of the two of them it's the normal or Good ear, I was told in definite terms yesterday that's not the case. So in my financial mind...

While I know it has the potential to help when my hearing fluctuates (I can only tell because I'm not asking for a repeat of what was said nearly as much. I just wonder if it's worth it . My audiologist after looking at what he calls a bad day...

    Anyone experienced loneliness and anxiety being hoh or deaf?

    Yes, i do find it a bit isolating. I'm hoh and often times i refuse to acknowledge when i really am struggling to hear as though it will just get better. Learning ASL helps with it but with the fact is ASL makes me feel awkward. Im learning a language that also belongs to me as a HOH person yet...
