I have worn hearing aids since I was three, as that was when my hearing loss was first diagnosed. Grammatically, I think I am fine. Speaking, I am fine, although I have a tendency to rush my words and therefore stutter sometimes. I never learned ASL as I never felt that I needed to, even though...

My last job I had was working with the IRS as a clerk. You can apply for an IRS job at usajobs.com/gov whichever it is. The Clerk position was only seasonal, bu they can call you back to work the following season, or they can hire you on for another position that is full time. I made like 12...

Lol. No, I just never felt the need to take any pics. I worked at a casino in Henderson before moving back to CA. I wish I stayed in Vegas even if it is literally hot as hell.

Weird. I worked at both Circle K and 7-Eleven and I always had the same schedule. 9pm-5am at Circle K, 7pm-3am three nights a week and 11pm-7am two nights a week at 7-Eleven.

I lived in Vegas for like four years, but no pics. lol

Lol. I am from Fresno. lol

Personally, I wear ME 1000 RIC HAs from Miracle Ear, I believe the HAs are made by Siemens. These have a lot of features that I didn't get, I wish I did now. At least the ipod feature anyways.

Ask your Audiologist what to do about it. Maybe they can make the ones you wanted? When I would get the molds made when I was younger, I used to like the way it felt with they would inject the molding into my ear. I always it felt weird, but in a good way. lol

I have one tattoo of my Pisces sign on the underside of my left forearm. I don't have any piercings anymore, but I did have both ears and my tongue pierced.... I miss my piercings... *sniff* I really want to get more tattoos, but I kinda need to have money first.

I read that for RP, they are working on microscopic cameras to insert into the retina. Haven't heard anything on the HoH front though. I haven't heard anything about stem cells. I was approved for disability, but I am having to appeal my disability date as my opt. dr. didn't give them the...

I was just recently approved for Disability. I am one of those people that consider Deafness, HoH to be a disability. But then again, my HoH is coupled with RP, aka Retinitis Pigmentosa. RP has had a profound affect on my vision (nightblindness, severe loss of peripheral vision), especially...

I have been approved for it, but my eye dr never gave them the reports they needed for my claim. So SSDI just went off the date of when I saw their doctor, which was this last April, which confirmed my dr's diagnosis of RP. Because they say that I only became disabled in April, I won't get my...

Ah..... My HoH/Vision Loss combo is Usher's Syndrome Type 2. It says my balance should be fine, but my balance sucks. I talked with someone from Social Security yesterday and they said that I am gonna be getting $744 a month starting in October as they are saying that my disability didn't...

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to leave a post anyways. I am HoH but wear hearing aids that do help, but not still not the same as normal people. I am also afflicted with Retenitis Pigmentosa, a rare genetic defect that affects the eyes. I have met the medical requirements for SSDI...
