I sympathize. As a child I had chronic ear infections. My infections got worse, I was always sick as a child. I ended up with TB in my ear, and now I have virtually no immune system. I can't travel without being bed ridden (which totally defeats the purpose of traveling) and I suffer from...

Are you HOH, hearing, or deaf?

Hey, hello!! I've noticed since my hearing loss (Im HOH) I've started to talk less and less. Is that normal? I feel as if I'm super self concious about my voice and the way I form words. I had a lisp as a child and I'm told that its significantly worse. Plus I feel really awkward in...

I've noticed a lot of people say they're ambidextrous. Is that common in people who sign?

I live in America. I was having different surgeries to remove the infection I had, and after every surgery my hearing loss got worse along with the infection.

I totally agree. I finally have mine and I'm clueless. they only sent over the newest one, so I don't know how much hearing I've lost.

I have earmolds and I like them. I purposely got brightly colored molds so that my hearing aid is easily identified. I have chronic ear infections and chronic pain in my face so I often have to leave my hearing aid out and it makes it easier for my students to know when I'm wearing it

I totally relate to this. I always feel like I'm stuck in the middle. I don't function like a hearing person anymore because I find it extremely difficult to follow conversations, but I don't know ASL very well. I have a hard time fitting in the deaf culture as well.

I had mild hearing loss my entire life, and I struggled with speech. I never identified as hearing or deaf, because I didn't struggle as much as my school seemed to think. And it was never brought up in my house hold. I also didn't learn sign language because my doctor told me I'd grow out if...

Has anyone ever had the problem of the doctor not letting you see your audiogram? Everytime I asked they would always dodge it. They'd say things like "well you have your surgery coming up so I'll go over the results after" and when I opted out of surgery my doctor RETIRED. Well finally, I had...

It does because I was being harassed at work after I lost my hearing and I got so mad. I didn't get mad for myself though, I got mad because the things they were saying could negatively affect my nephew. and then I thought to myself if it's not okay for them to say those things about my nephew...

I'm HOH, but for unknown reasons my hearing is still fading. And I had a hard time adapting to my hearing loss but my nephew is deaf so working with him allowed me fully accept my conditions

I had surgery to remove scar tissue in my inner ear and attracted a rare disease. The multiple surgeries to remove the infection caused my hearing loss in my left ear, and I was put on a PICC with 3 antibiotics that had a side effect of hearing loss, which resulted in the loss in my right ear as...

Hello guys! It definitely has been a while since I last posted, I have been really busy. I opted out of having another surgery to attempt to rebuild my ear, but my nephew has had his surgery to receive a Cochlear Implant (he's two). He will never be able to fully hear since he only has one nerve...

Hey guys! I got accepted to college!!! Today is a bitter sweet day because my doctor told me that the hearing in my right ear is failing, and I found out I got accepted!! Im both excited and anxious to begin these new chapters.

it is crazy, a million people are traveling to st louis for the eclipse

I had a guy follow me around work saying "Alligator food"and everytime I thought he was saying "I love you" lol

Actually I am pretty fluent in lip reading now! I can understand a conversation pretty well. Im helping my nephew learn, he was born deaf around the time I lost my hearing so we are learning ASL together

Hi! I had a teacher that would help me understand lips better. She had pictures with words on a board, then shed play loud music (I was stiĺl hearing) then she would say a word and I would have to find the word she was saying on the board. I found it very helpful!

Hello!! Im hard of hearing too! I lost my hearing in my left ear almost a year ago!
