Hi everyone,
My name is Stacey. I am currently taking an Audiometry course and even though it is only a twelve week course, I feel like I am learning so much from it. I recently became a school nurse and wanted to take this course to conduct hearing screens for the children and to assist them in anyway that I could to promote their wellbeing.
One of the assignments is to wear earplugs for a few hours and make observations of "life as a person with hearing loss". I am currently doing this part of the assignment right now and it has been an eye-opener.
Another part of the assignment is to interview a person who wears a hearing aid. I do not know anyone who has a hearing aid, so I googled hearing aids forum and I was happy to come across this thread. If anyone is interested in being interviewed, I would greatly appreciate your time!
1. What are your feelings about being hearing impaired?
2. What are your feelings about wearing hearing aids?
3. How has hearing loss affected your communication and your life?
4. When did you first experience hearing impairment?
5. What are the pros and cons in your opinion of having a hearing aid?
6. How has the hearing aid affected your family and loved ones?
7. I watched the Sound of Fury documentary. If you had a child with hearing loss, would you get a hearing aid for them and why?
8. From the documentary, they said there was a hearing world and a deaf world. How has each world treated you?
Thank you,
Stacey
