My name is Steve. I am a 35 year old Manufacturing Engineer living in a suburb of Detroit, MI.
I started gradually losing my hearing at the age of 2-1/2 and received my first hearing aids at the age of 3. I have Bilateral Profound Sensorineural Hearing Loss.
Eight of my aunts and uncles were born completely deaf, and oddly I am the only one of all of my cousins that is hard of hearing. Furthermore, my family lives quite a distance away so I have no personal contact with the deaf community and I'd like to change that.
In the next couple of weeks, I will be starting a new job working for General Electric as a Director of Manufacturing Engineering after working at other companies as Director of Purchasing, Director of Program Management, and Director of Engineering.
I just recently purchased some new hearing aids (ReSound Vero), but I am just not liking them just yet. Cochlear Implants have been brought up as an option and will be discussed further in the next coming week.
Please feel free to contact me about anything. I hope to educate myself and to support and nurture others if possible.
Looking forward to this,
Steve
