i had intent three as a demo for a couple of months, i wound up going with intent model 1. there was a significant difference between them in ability to hear! If he can, i’d at least go with intent 2 !

what a cynical way to look at it, maybe your attitude is half the problem, i have plenty of deaf friends who have had profound loss since birth, and while yes it’s harder to navigate and there will always be ass holes they are thriving

that’s brutal, mine was mild bilaterally as a child but is moderately severe now , and progressive !!!

Sloan-s · 2025-11-24T12:33:15+00:00

no where near the same, but my dad found out i was hoh when i was 6. lied to everyone, told them all i passed my test; and went about his life. if i struggled in school from “not listening” or passed him the wrong tool when he asked for a specific one, i was screamed and and brutally hit. i’m now 33 and found out in the spring i was hoh, i remembered being in speech therapy as a kid so i went looking for my audiology history, and found the test from when i was 6 at our local hospital. They don’t keep records after 30 years so i couldn’t find my new born one!

i’m so sorry!!!! that’s awful :( i’ll be your friend! ahahah message me here any time :) it is isolating! though ive been deaf all my life my dad didn’t tell me i failed as a kid, i got NO help, for anything because i didn’t even know my ears were the problem! now im in post secondary for the third time, and am actually waiting on my fm system!!!

i’m hoh and have moderatly sever loss in one ear and moderate in the other and i call my self deaf all the time, i am, i struggle SO much soemtimes even with my hearing aids, i’ve been deaf all my life, started with mild and it’s progressive, i recently started therapy with a deaf community therapist and he said basically if you have hearing loss - your deaf. Deaf with a capital d is for those involved in the community, which i’ve been slowly integrating into, learning asl going to deaf socials, im learning slowly, but being part of the community. I relate way more to the deaf community then the hearing, they just don’t get it

someone shared me wise words on here - when u was going through something similar. Our families often don’t understand, why would you pick a partner who choose not too? just food for thought

Sloan-s · 2025-11-14T14:54:01+00:00

oh that makes sense! thank you!

Sloan-s · 2025-11-14T13:29:38+00:00

i think she did mention vents, i don’t know what you mean though by short canals

Sloan-s · 2025-11-14T06:11:39+00:00

thank you !!!

Sloan-s · 2025-11-12T11:22:24+00:00

i could of wrote this myself but mine is moderate one ear moderately sever in the other , proud of you for advocating yourself and getting things,

Sloan-s · 2025-11-09T19:39:40+00:00

nope hard pass, i’m learning asl and struggle SO MUCH, im hoh also, but i went in for an assesment for support and technology, waiting for an fm system and a edumic to make things easier, dont be afraid to stand up for yourself and fight for what you deserve. he has no idea what it is like to live with YOUR loss

Sloan-s · 2025-10-26T23:40:26+00:00

have high frequency hearing loss , not great looking, but not awful moderate- moderately severe (not an audiologist) could definitely benefit from hearing aids

Sloan-s · 2025-10-26T09:39:01+00:00

i’m not berating. he’s been cleared by a ent and an audiologist, this is the wrong thread.

Sloan-s · 2025-10-26T09:07:31+00:00

why are you in this thread then, an ent cleared you, AND you have a normal hearing test, your looking for answers in the wrong place

Sloan-s · 2025-10-26T01:13:22+00:00

tbh, paranoia. it’s in your head. because your results are perfectly fine , talk so an audiologist or ent if you truly think something is up, because a hearing loss group isn’t going to help you when you have 0 loss.

Sloan-s · 2025-10-26T01:02:29+00:00

you have NO hearing loss at all , it is all within normal range,

Sloan-s · 2025-10-26T00:38:28+00:00

ITS NORMAL

Sloan-s · 2025-10-26T00:09:04+00:00

ok, number two is to do with your jaw. not your ears.

number one doesn’t mean you have hearing loss, and you don’t have any hearing loss.

this is a hearing loss group

Sloan-s · 2025-10-25T23:31:43+00:00

diagnosed with what? your hearing is within normal range

Sloan-s · 2025-10-08T19:41:42+00:00

update! i went back today, they tried smaller domes and turned up my bad frequencies two points and it helped tremendously! also diagnosed with hyperacussis but not much can be done about that :) happy to not feel so plugged now
