    Howdy, Y'all

    Thanks for the warm welcome. I don't know what is causing my hearing loss. 2 of my sisters have the same type loss (my other sister and brother have no problems); first the high frequencies go, then the middle ones, til all we're left with is some low frequency hearing. Except for the deaf...
