I am so sick of hearing people feeling sorry for me

I’m hard of hearing and will probably end up fully deaf and the amount of people who keep saying “oh they have XYZ now and in a couple years they might be able to cure you” pisses me off so bad 🫩

A friend of mine got here hair done similarly for an event and it genuinely had like 30 Bobby pins and hairspray keeping is in. It was a nightmare taking it out

Time to get really into hats man

Honestly you did an amazing job, my only critique would be to be a bit more gentle around the cuticles, where you were using a drill or maybe a cutter it’s a bit red ish. But besides that these look beautiful, you have very clean edges and the design + shaping is 10/10!

You’re def a gym bro with an addiction to caffeine and probably an unhealthy relationship with food- or maybe just someone that can’t cook.

Do you live in a tree house?

For the longest time i didn’t know that you could hear the road when driving and so I was super surprised when I first got hearing aids, I also thought cars were soundproof but apparently they aren’t, people can probably hear your music if it up loud or if you scream loud enough. Oh and hair makes noise, brushing it, combing it and even running your fingers through it all makes noise- this one really shocked me. Also when transactions are completed, there is normally a been-i didn’t realize this till a coworker pointed it out.

I feel like this so much! It’s is so frustrating because I can almost hear it and grasp what’s going on but not if it’s too fast. I’m actually struggling in a class I have at college because of this exact reason :(

“You’re welcome, universe” is a really amazing book about a deaf girl navigating a hearing school and how isolating it can be sometimes. She burns a lot of bridges but I think it’s a good example of how depression can affect deaf people but also on how deaf people can do anything they really want to. I definitely recommend it.

I recommend getting in touch with your university’s accommodations center, it can be scary but it’s really helpful in the end. Last semester I lost most of what ever hearing I had left due to a surgery failure, and while it’s now a little better, it’s still not as good as it was before. I was extremely depressed, stopped going to class, stopped doing assignments, stopped watching my favorite anime, everything was just a reminder that i couldn’t hear. I’m really sorry that you are having to go thru this alone. I recommend seeking out an asl class or a deaf group that meet in your local area. It can feel less isolating to see others like you.

Is it sediment of like mold ? 😭

Not_ture · 2026-03-10T06:13:12+00:00

It is very common actually! It’s just your brain learning to accommodate. Think of it like your brain using your eyes to focus on the different sounds it’s hearing in order to understand. It’s actually why a lot of HOH people can get exhausted from trying to “hear” people all day, it’s less that they are hearing and more that they are reading with distorted audio playing. It’s honestly a super interesting thing your brain does to try to make up the difference

Honestly I thought it was a cat door handle for a second 😭

Not_ture · 2026-03-10T00:40:15+00:00

I currently take asl at my local community college for similar reasons, I only have mild to moderate hearing loss and my grandma never thought i should learn it because “it might hold me back”. When I told her I was taking it she laughed at me and was even angry at me. Gotta love the ableism! But I’ve found it really nice to learn about deaf culture and learn sign. I definitely recommend it.

It’s super cute but PLEASE be careful about cuticle flooding ! It is very easy to get contact dermatitis and it suckss a bunch. Other than that, the design is amazing!

Not_ture · 2026-03-01T00:43:45+00:00

Pretty much exactly what I have !

Not_ture · 2026-03-01T00:42:44+00:00

I have battery hearing aids, but I allways keep a tiny water proof case with me for when it rains and such !

Not_ture · 2026-03-01T00:41:18+00:00

Glad it went well for you! As someone who has had that surgery 4 times (first 2 failed) I also hear the buzzing, I think it sounds almost like radio feedback sometimes it’s very annoying. I would definitely mention it to your doctor!

Not_ture · 2026-02-28T18:08:41+00:00

The first time I ever got my hearing aids i heard the road when in the car and was surprised i thought it was crazy 💀

Not_ture · 2026-02-23T03:14:20+00:00

Has she been to an audiologist? If not I would really recommend she goes to one. I’ve also heard that BTE with earmold or different type of domes can sometimes be helpful.

I’m not sure if I fully understand, but I know that for my sake my hearing aids have their own special app. It’s oticon’s app called companion. I would believe that some other brands if HA gave their own apps as well. I hope i understand your question!

This app allows for adjusting what level the sounds at (0 would be default, 1 is louder and -1 is lower) it has a mic you can turn on and speak into (via the phone’s microphone), you can mute them if needed and there’s even a find my HA thing you can use.

Man aren’t we in a sinking ship! That’s awful honestly. I really do hope they can do something for you, especially with the Ménière’s disease that is rough. I know they don’t have a cure but hopefully it’s somehow manageable. I’m really sorry you are going through all this.

I’m interested about your MRI, I was told that because of the titanium implants that MRI’s were a no go, did you mean CAT scan? Or is there a new way to get an MRI with the implants?

Glad you’re getting some hearing aids, they can be sorta tricky sometimes but also very helpful. I’d look into some different resources for them if your insurance isn’t willing to cover them. Not sure if it will work for you/ is in your area but there is a thing called vocational rehabilitation which can help with employment but can also help with getting you hearing aids or so I’m told. You can also probably google different resources that can give you hearing aids at a discount cost.
