What is FM?

Oh my, this is a long thread! Somebody in a few posts back asked about causes. I think there are so many different ones and some I think reinforce the problem. Here is what I think has caused/worsened my hearing loss, in chronological order, more or less: 1. Falling out of bed and being...

A few years ago my daughter started saying to me "Mommy, you're not listening to me". I always thought she wanted more attention, but now I realize that I was gradually losing more and more hearing and becoming complacent with my usual filling -- the --anks. I have caught myself guessing even...

From what you've said so far, a wise choice I'd say. You do NOT want to be with somebody clingy or who threatens to kill themselves if you leave them. One thing I try to remind myself every day is DO NOT MAKE OTHER PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS YOUR OWN. This threat is highly manipulative, childlike...

Hello and good like with your new website. Some inspiring content. I'd love to see some articles on neuroplasticity and hearing loss reversal. If you can remove half of somebody's brain and as a result the other half develops new neural networks in order to compensate, I have to believe it is...

Good to know about ibuprofen - Thanks. Hopefully somebody here can find something that works for APD, particularly for adults, a demographic that seems to me to be almost 100% unserviced.

Thanks DNM. I don't see anything for adults there, like you said it's mostly for kids. That's what I keep coming across. I did check out a blog somebody mentioned and that led me to 'top jobs for deaf people' and that led me to 'learning how to write apps'. OK, I just did a search for APD...

Thanks. I checked it out. I don't see much other than the articles by the founder. Maybe they give you more access once you subscribe.

Learning ASL while having APD...now THAT sounds like a challenge.

I'm trying to learn as much as I can about APD so I can give myself the best chance of fixing it. I'm interested in seeing what others have tried and how it has worked out. Anything goes - nutrition, supplements, brain-boosting technology or games, exercises, therapy, mindfulness, environment...

What are your favourite deaf blogs?

Have Faith, Persist, Don't Panic...that's where I'm at right now

Either your brain works to your potential or it doesn't. If you feel that it doesn't then it doesn't. It is so hard for a parent to understand what we are going through. If they won't/can't advocate for us then we must find somebody who will or try to solve our problem on our own. That is...

Thanks for the welcome. Are you doing anything to help you deal with the APD?

Back to the original question. Yes, I think those with APD should be welcomed in the deaf community because the inability to hear impacts those with APD just as it does for those with actual physical hearing loss, if not more. Also, I think that the resources (hearing aids, ASL, deaf schools)...

I said "Mom, something's wrong with me, I mean really, really wrong. I can't follow group conversations, I can't join in, I don't fit in". Mom said "Dear, there's nothing wrong with you, you're just shy". That's the conversation we had when I was six years old. I am now 54. As far as I can...
