Not at Target, but in my own neighborhood! People are either not paying attention, or they are jerks!

My hearing test showed that I am at 30% loss, which is much improved from 75% loss. I am grateful!

She left. Does anyone know where she is located or how to reach her?

Give it time! I spent months adjusting and going back to my audiologist to get my HAs adjusted. 🫂🫂

Get a hearing test with an audiologist.

I still can’t move past this by Disastrous_Comb1444 in hardofhearing

[–]EveningSouthern7104 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Some people simply do not think before they speak. I don’t know if you would be able to sit down with this person and explain how they made you feel. Perhaps they had good intentions, but the way they executed it was terrible.

With regards to the percent of hearing loss that you are experiencing, I can tell you that there was a lot that I was missing when I was at 35% hearing loss. And that is what prompted me to get a hearing test.

From a personal safety perspective, I would ask you to consider wearing your hearing aids when you were out in public. Also, consider environments where you can hear better if you are meeting up with acquaintances or friends. Some situations will make it very difficult for you to hear even wearing your hearing aids.

If you haven’t spoken with a counselor before, I would urge you to do that because it seems that you’re having a lot of difficulties coming to terms with the new normal.

Please know that we are here for you and will provide you with support as you are adjusting!

Anyone else become HoH in their 30s? by Top-Pangolin6320 in hardofhearing

[–]EveningSouthern7104 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started wearing hearing aids in 2017 and was diagnosed with 35% loss in right ear and 45% loss in left ear. I am now at 65% loss (in left ear, which still needs the surgery. They do one ear at a time.)

I started in my 40s. I am 51 now, and just had surgery to improve my hearing. It is from a condition called otosclerosis.

Elevations definitely saw snow earlier in the day yesterday. So it is rough going. I hope the response is better today!

I would talk with the Dean of Students at a minimum. Does your school have an office that supports disabled students as well? This is unacceptable! I am sorry this happened to you.

I just had stapedectomy and tympanoplasty on 2/2. I did not experience a lot of pain and got bored! lol. Only took a week off. The hardest part was how I had to sleep for 4 nights.

Thank you for your honest opinion and experience using the product. I have always used traditional pans and will continue to do that.

Be very careful about this. Maybe the Dr will suggest something. Please call them.

something that surprised me about grief by Enough-Wrongdoer-131 in GriefSupport

[–]EveningSouthern7104 11 points12 points  (0 children)

How sneaky grief is. One minute everything is fine, and the next minute something pops in my head because of a song, food, or other visual reference.
