My name is Bryan, 34 years old, have moderately-severe hearing loss, and been wearing hearing since I was 4-5 years old. I decided to join since I will be getting some phonak nadia 9 ha soon and interested in seeing everyone's experience with them.
A little info about me... I have been blessed with a mother that worked with me constantly growing up so I would be on the same educational level as my peers...the experts told my mother that I would graduate high school on a 2nd grade hearing level due to not hearing for the first 3 years of my life. That motivated her to work with me and I caught up with my peers in the 4th grade.
My mother threatened to sue the school system to keep me in the local school...some people on the school board thought I was retarded or just ignoring them on purpose...
Ruined my first pair of hearing when I was five yr old...was fixing to jump into the lake from a boat...my dad said "Bryan do not wear your hearing aids when you jump in the water!" I said ok and put them in my pockets then jumped in! Hey I did what I told..
