I went and had my hearing checked the other day. Turns out I have 50% hearing loss in my left ear and 20% in my right!
Basically, the lady I spoke to said I need hearing aids. It wouldn't bother me if there wasn't such a long waiting time on them and getting them privately in this country is expensive! Does anyone happen to be a millionaire with £500 to £1500 to give me?
Looks like I'm going to have to put my university course on hold or go into something else! I need good hearing to go into 'teaching English as a foreign language', and to rely on if someone says 'worm' or 'worm'. Right now I couldn't tell if they said 'war' or 'were' or 'worm' or 'warm'!
I'm thinking of going into Deaf Studies. I'd learn BSL. Either way I've just wasted three years of my life because I'm Hard of Hearing and Hard of Hearing teachers of English are 'useless'. :rl:
