Hi there! I am 22 an was diagnosed about 3 years ago. Im HoH (70% gone in right ear and 50% gone in left ear). I'm getting a VNG and ECOG test done this week so we'll see what they show. I don't really understand what they are meant to show. I was under the influence that there aren't tests to...

I do wear one now, and it does help in most situations

It's not just that one nurse. Like I said, I've run into quite a few of them that act like that. The worst part is that they are trained and should be more accommodating and understanding. It's their job.

Thank you all for commenting on my post. I've been thinking about it a lot and for me, I think I understand that Most people don't have experience with Deaf or HoH people so they act stupid around us. I'm not saying it's an excuse for being rude, but I try to understand why they act the way they...

Well I'm new to HoH life so I'm learning everyday.

Anyone else have the Glide app?

Hi all, I'm new to being HoH and am trying to find people around my age bracket (21-31) who are living through the same kinds of things I am. I'm the only person in my family (extended family included) that has any kind of hearing loss, let alone being HoH, and potentially Deaf in the next 5-10...

I was diagnosed about a year ago. It can be very scary and is definitely a life/game changer. For me, my hearing went down a lot faster than my docs had anticipated. In the last year and a half I went from full hearing to now being HoH. Some days I'm almost completely Deaf. I'm the only person...
