I wish you the best and encourage you not to give up. Hearing loss is very frustrating because it hits us hard in so many ways. Are you familiar with HLAA? The Hearing Loss Assn. of America has chapters in many locations. It promotes peer support, education, information sharing, etc. Just meeting other people who are experiencing what you are experiencing can be a big game changer.
