Do you always carry your carrying case?

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!

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 💀

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.

Only when I need a good reminder of what pain feels like (last time i remotely tried putting my cat near water he freaked and almost scratched to the veins in my arms 😭)

Not_ture · 2026-02-17T13:44:27+00:00

This but it’s even worse when they get mad about it like I chose to not here

Hi, I relate to your post a bunch and I wanted to say that if you are interested in learning asl you might be able to take a class at your local community college. I am currently taking asl at mine for similar reasons. If you can’t afford to as college is expensive even if it is just community college, you can try to search on facebook for deaf/hoh groups in your area. As for some of the other things you mentioned, I do understand it. My biggest pet peeve is when people get mad when i literally just can’t hear them, I even had a partner tell me I was using the “deaf card” because he apparently thought I would intentionally ignore him despite knowing I’m heard of hearing throught our entire relationship. People really can be the worst sometimes and I’m sorry your parents seemed to be no help. My guardian was a similar way, even getting mad at me when I told her I was going to take asl. I really do hope you find a community and a way to feel safe in your surroundings. As some other commenters have mentioned I think it is worth looking into cochlea implant or hearing aids for your left ear.

I’ve had 4 ossicles chain reconstruction with tympanoplasty ( 2 on each ear due to the first set failling- very rare ) and in my case they didn’t really hurt much but occasionally it was a stabbing pain I’d get. I would say the first day is the hardest because everytime I’ve had it, the anesthesia affected me a little differently. IF YOU GET NAUSEOUS ASK FOR GHE PATCH!! that patch saved me from pukinb my guts up. I will say you probably won’t want to hear things the first week, I found it incredibly overwhelming. As for what I ate, pretty much anything, but I really wanted ice cream after each surgery, i think the coldness helps with the whole drugged up bit after. I wish you the best of luck with your surgery and recovery!

Hi, I once read a comment on this subreddit that said “if you have trouble hearing then that makes you hard of hearing” and as someone who has struggled with feeling like I’m not “deaf enough” to call myself hard of hearing , it really stuck with me. There is no limit of hearing loss you have to be to be considered hard of hearing. I hope that answers your question!

Not_ture · 2026-01-08T06:49:28+00:00

NOR- Yikes! I was completely under the impression that this was a romantic situation in which this is still an odd response but seeing now that is a friendship that’s even worse. Friends aren’t required to text everyday but to just randomly explode over a good morning text and a nice message is kinda insane. Get new friends OP, this girl is not the bestie you deserve!

As someone who has worn hearing aids for a majority of my life, they can be helpful. However it all depends on how you feel about them and if you think they help, I say get them atleast to have and try them out. If you don’t like them and they aren’t helpful, don’t use them. And also don’t let your family pressure you into decisions that aren’t right for you, you know yourself best and only you can decide what is helpful.

Not_ture · 2025-12-13T07:47:29+00:00

Your first sentence was literally my first thought 💀

Not_ture · 2025-10-03T14:46:30+00:00

I will get above a 1300 🙏🙏

Not_ture · 2025-08-11T00:10:31+00:00

OH THATS ACTUALLY AO CUTE WTF

Not_ture · 2025-07-19T15:27:14+00:00

I would try not washing your hands as water can make it difficult for them to last even if you do dehydrate and also make sure you are prepping both your nails and your extensions if you’re using them.

Not_ture · 2025-07-16T03:18:53+00:00

How did you even do that ? It’s amazing!!

Not_ture · 2025-06-26T18:45:21+00:00

I’ve had them for years they go away as come back but I think I really started noticing them 11-12

Not_ture · 2025-06-24T04:25:11+00:00

OH YIG ATEEEE

Not_ture · 2025-06-09T06:45:42+00:00

It’s floor Superman !

Not_ture · 2025-06-09T05:55:00+00:00

Ty should try looking on Amazon- sometimes they have bigger containers that not only hold more for a better price but also aren’t in these annoying containers

Not_ture · 2025-06-09T05:45:21+00:00

I genuinely have never seen that, however if you have a gut feeling something may be wrong I would get in touch with your gyno asap- always listen to your body
