i've been taking notes for nearly two months. first of all - hearing people do like LiveTranscribe better, i see a lot less of jumping away now that i switched to it, thank you guys for recommending it. and second - i've discovered that people split into roughly three equal groups, about 30-35%...

For me it's not that stress causes my hearing to get worse, it's that I rely on non-audio cues a lot. Such as reading lips, guessing from context, from gestures, facial expressions, etc. Sometimes I myself don't realize just how much I rely on these thing. For example, since everyone started...

i'm late deaf i guess (still not sure if the label fits lol), am on disability for other conditions, unrelated to hearing loss. if disability is defined as requiring accommodations - yes, i believe hearing loss is a disability. like i need captions on movies, cuz i can't hear sounds. need a...

it's kinda similar to one of the reasons that brought me to alldeaf.com - but i (perhaps naively) thought its a miscommunication rather than anything else. e.g. when i tell someone im hearing impaired and cannot hear them, they can write on my notepad instead - and they roll their eyes and...

guys, thank you so much for the Live Transcribe tip, i was using another app, just installed Live Transcribe and i like it better. i hope hearing people will like it better too, fingers crossed :D it was happening before covid19 too, but i think i might need a better phone. i can't just place...

hey :) i'm completely deaf in one ear, +100db in the other. however, i only started losing hearing around 10-15 years ago (43yo now), so i was born and raised hearing & oral. i have no problem continuing being oral, at least for the time being, when i have to. but the issue is that hearing...

thank you very much for responses! glad i asked: my doc never mentioned audiologists, im going to an ENT, will ask them for a referral. @Reba - you're absolutely right, i haven't been given any information, don't know what my options are, don't know whom to ask - if it's my doc who should...

hey :) im 40yo, have been losing hearing gradually for the past 15 years, by now im "fully deaf" on one ear and got "severe hearing loss" on another, according to my GP. i still hear some things, but am finally getting over my denial and admitting that i just cant function as a hearing person...
