I am from the UK. I am HOH and am so happy that I have found this site ..... its great to be able to read of other people's experiences, some are funny and some sad.........
I became HOH about 13 years ago, it was a sudden thing, literally overnight !!! no idea why. Took me ages and ages to get used to it - dont think I am to this day - in fact - I KNOW that I am not used to it - I am a very very very confident person and very outgoing indeed and as you can imagine - to be suddenly hit by this hearing problem at an early age ( 29 ) it does affect you.
Anyway just wanted to say HELLO to everyone out there and its so wonderful to get feedback and strength from others.....
THANK YOU
