HEY,

been loosing my hearing for a long time. it has plateaued- but i never know when i will loose more. but I am in the severe loss range. all the high pitches.

don't wear hearing aids- i'm allergic to the molds.

finally had that talk with my husband about not being pissed that i'm not hearing everything. and being happy that i hear some.
to start functioning at a deaf person who can hear some and does remarkably well, and not a hearing person who functions poorly and hears very little.

so here i am. hoping to make strides in coping as i move up in my work place, and mature into motherhood. i'm not ready for a kid yet, but i am scared to death about how to handle it.

and now I've shared a little too much for an opening "hi how are"
 
thanks. i do not have late onset. my hearing has been slowly going since i was 5. at 25 i have reached a point where the balance has tipped and its becoming more impossible to follow any conversations.
 
:wave:Hello and welcome to AD, hope you enjoy your time here visiting and meeting new people, stop by say hello anytime.:cool2:
 
:welcome: to AllDeaf forum. You still need to talk with Jillio and anyone that want to help you cope with your hearing even if you were 5 years old. Now your hearing is dwindling down where you may hear some and not hear in another environment sounds. Anyway, you will find a lot of interesting threads here and enjoy reading and posting them. See you around. :wave:
 
When you started losing your hearing, did you ever consider other forms of communication? American Sign Language?
