    I was super paranoid I wasn't going to be able to hear my examiner's instructions and I was going to be failed for missing a turn, but he spoke very slowly and didn't have a strange accent. it only took me 7 years, lol.

    How do i explain i don't want my hearing aids?

    I would tell them exactly why you do not like wearing them. Someone who has never had hearing aids is not going to understand what it's like with them on. They're going to assume they're like glasses and a quick fix.

    How do i explain i don't want my hearing aids?

    Honestly the more I read from you, the more I think we're the same person LOL. My parental unit have now put a ban on me speaking to them unless my hearing aids are in. I'd really like the little buggers to die a painful death so that they may never grace my ears again.

    Am i being overly sensitive?

    I would be one to say that she wants to "advertise" her services so to speak. If I were you, I would allow her and her children in to see Deaf children interact with other Deaf children first hand. I have found that often times professionals have never ever ever seen hard of hearing or Deaf...

    I need your help for a project! please read

    I can answer these for you, for the small, small fee of one double cheeseburger, lol. 1) if the product was to work, I think it would be better for communication, but where it wouldn't be better than hearing aids would be environmental sounds. Unless there was a way for them to tell me there...

    Best smart watch ???

    I'm sure if I looked hard enough I'd find my answer, but I'm wondering what smart watches you folks use, that have a vibrating alarm. I need something that I can wear all the time, that'll connect to my phone.

    Hi Stacey! I'm going to answer your questions in numerical order as you asked them, adding in my own snark as I see fit :)). 1) It has its pros and cons.

    Best alert system??

    I have a dog. He also doesn't know when to shut up, so it's the boy who cried wolf with him. He knows how to manipulate us to get what he wants.

    Home security

    So last year, before I got my hearing aids, I was alone in my house in my living room for the evening, parents and my little bork of dog were out. They all come home asking me what I did to the back door to wreck it. I never touched the back door, I say, and they show it to me. Clearly someone...

    Best alert system??

    I'm trying to decide on an alert system. I need to know when someone's at my door, and be able to have an alarm clock. I'm usually pretty good at figuring out the doorbell when my hearing aids are in, but when they're out (which is as often as possible because I like my peace and quiet) there's...

    I have to give this a title even though i'm terrible at creative title giving. is this title enough?

    Hello my lovelies! I was found to be hard of hearing last year, and I've now been reading more into the culture. I have a profoundly deaf cousin, who isn't involved in deaf anything at all, so I didn't even know this sort of support system existed. It's nice to hear from other young people like...
