Hi. I am Dotchi. I am HOH and wear hearing aids. I hate them. I think people know I wear them and assume that my hearing is perfect now. It's not. I still have trouble hearing. I've had fluctuating deafness since I was very young but my hearing is going now.
I have a feeling that in this small town, when I lose all my hearing, I will be very lonely. I am only HOH now and I already feel very lonely. I am learning ASL, although I am not really seeing the point since only one child of mine is willing to learn it and my friends want to learn but don't want to take the time to learn. Instead, they just yell really loud.
I am a bit disheartened this week. I stay at home most of the time so I don't see the reason why I should wear hearing aids all the time just so I can hear myself typing, the traffic driving by and not much more. But my audi says I need to wear them all the time. I half wish I could just be deaf, I prefer the quiet.
Not trying to sound like a downer... my life is pretty wonderful overall... but I feel like there is no one in the world going through what I am going through. I know this isn't true LOL But I just wish I had a community I could turn to.
I found this site googling "I hate my hearing aids" LOL. Anyway, I hope to find some inspiration and support on here. Maybe some advice or thoughts.
