I have mad life changes that ,ale e happy

I got the UPS and its been strange. I still can't hear very much at all. I struggle in conversations and have had one adjustment that made it better. I understand my hearing with the hearing aids won't get back to where it was. I am finding they do make it easier to understand when talking to...

I'm getting the UPs. My cousin called her and said that what she wrote on the invoice was an error. She emailed me a copy of the order she actually processed. It's all good. Can someone put me in the right direction for a telephone?

Some of my family knows ASL because there is a family history of hearing loss and some of it would be willing to learn with me. Unfortunately my immediate family is not that knowledgeable about it but maybe they will learn. One or two of my friends know ASL basics. A CI is something I am...

I am not sure a CI is something I am ready to consider. My insurance is picking up a decent portion of the hearing aids. Before I would think about a CI I would want to do a ton of research. That is something on the back burner for now. Right now I am just trying to find out how to obtain a...

CIs are a long way down the road I think. My doctor or Audi didnt even mention them. This is all really new. As things stand right now I am communicating through txt messages from my friends and family. I have been using the notes ap on my iPhone when I go out. My cics are mostly useless. I can...

Assisted listening devices? Like the remote mic and TV thing? She mentioned those but my head was spinning and I was having so much trouble following the convo that she said we should take it one step at a time. Get the more powerful aids and then move on. I'm a little lost. I am living through...

Ok so things had seemed to be good for a whole. Given my family history as I said I was going to get a set of BTEs next month. I made the appointment for the fitting in the end of July. I was adjusting well. On 6/11 things changed. I woke up unable to hear anything but I high squeeling noise in...

Thanks. If u wanna chat pm me. I M usually around. Right now I have been completely e entrenched in the hearing world. I can still hear with and witbout my has. Witbout many things are muffled. I feel as though it is getting worse as the weeks go by. So far I have only had one real change since...

I have been looking online and doing some finger spelling. The problem comes with my family being unwilling and my now ex. I want to meet people who I can FaceTime/Skype with to learn. Or even people I can meet up in person. As my life starts to change I want to have people who I can...

I'm sure it will be the same stuff. But communication will be better especially if/when I lose my hearing completely. I am also just looking for friends. Maybe someone t sign with for when I learn ASL. I made contact with my Deaf and hard of hearing relatives but none of them use ASL. One uses...

I have been in a relationship for 4 years. He is not sensitive to my new hearing loss. I am loosing my hearing and if I follow the path if my family members ill be deaf in a few years. Once each of them started to lose their hearing it went quickly. He said he is torn. Not knowing how he would...

I didnt get the BTE yet. I have two cics. Things sound loud. I am thinking its bcuz I am not use to hearing these things. I am thinking my brain will adjust to hearing these things I had not heard in a while and they won't seem as loud. Today things are a little better and don't even seem as...

Got my second hearing aid today and it feels good so far. Things are loud and clear. It was like that the first few days after I got my first hearing aid then things went down hill. Hopefully things are stabilizing for a while. There seems to have been no change in the past two weeks. I am...

So as I have posted I have recently become hoh. During that time I have noticed a lot of things that I am missing but last night was perhaps the worst. I had my cellphone on vibrate on the living room chair. I was home alone. My bf was apparently knocking and calling my cell for 20 mins before I...

Got the call today and there has been a delay. We are hoping for Thu now. :-(

Going on tues to pick up my second hearing aid. It's been a tough few weeks. First getting the confirmation that I was losing my hearing. Then having a few days where things were great followed by found out that my other ear had had a fairly significant hearing loss. Im moving out of my house...

They are looking for answers but it is most likely genetics. My fathers side of the family has progressive hearing loss.
