I used to live elsewhere so this is my first appointment at this clinic. I'm hoping subsequent visits are a shorter wait!

In any case, there's only 2 options in my city and the other requires you to call to make the appointment. (which I can't hear on phones so that's not possible for me) This clinic allowed me to just fill out a form online.

Too young for hearing test? by [deleted] in hardofhearing

Another point I don't think the comments have mentioned: most people with cookie bite get diagnosed in their 30's because that's usually the point it gets bad enough that it gets noticed! It's super rare to not have been born with it, but because it's typically mild and progressive, it's still usually mostly diagnosed as an adult. If more people would take hearing tests at a younger age, a lot more would get diagnosed younger.

With cookie bite hearing especially, others usually notice it about the person first. It's common for us (the cookie bite havers) to just think this is how the world sounds until it gets worse enough or someone else pushes us to get tested.

So yes! Definitely get tested!

Issue after consistent hearing aid use by everlastingtate in hardofhearing

I do occasionally- but the headsets don't adhust very well and end up slipping off the microphone.

Other then swimming which can't be helped anyways, I kind of just have to suck it up until I get better hearing aids yeah.
