Hello from SC!

[LuceDenis322]

Hello, I'm Luce from South Carolina. I'm 21 years old and I recently lost the ability to hear in my left ear. The doctor said that it's hereditary but my hearing deteriorated quickly because of my lifestyle. I'm a musician and I started at age 13. Well, I was young and I didn't know better. I used to listen to music at a very high volume, I even go to gigs and concerts without hearing protection. I'm having some difficulty dealing with all of this and I just needed some support.

I hope all of you are doing well!

Adjustment to late onset deafness

It seems that we have several members that are currently going through adjustments to late onset deafness. I suggested a support type group through AD, and offered to facillitate. I received word from a mod that we could go ahead and start a thread on this topic. So...here it is. How about...
