I introduced myself in the intro room, but thought I would here, too. I had no hearing loss until I was nearly 29. I woke up one morning with my left ear sounding like it was under water or needed to pop. I didn't think much of it, it was February and my sinuses were stuffy with a winter...

Thanks everyone! I haven't found a forum for people who have hearing loss later, but I have learned a lot already! It is nice to have so much information in one place and to be able to ask questions and have people with real life experience answer!
