Don't know where to start. In my 70's & have had a hearing problem most of my life. Have had hearing aids for 10 years & they have helped a lot. Tested for cochlear & told I am not a good candidate. So I still struggle with certain situation, places, people - you know what I mean. Have a group of lady friends who are all aware & considerate of my problem, so consider myself lucky. But...I had a situation with my son 6 months ago. I didn't hear a comment, continued talking, and was screamed at by my son to 'shut up.' I was frightened - and embarrassed as other family members were there. Our relationship has been strained since & I have not been back to their home. I asked him for a face to face conversation & was ignored. I'm a tough old bird - have a bit of pride - so telling me to 'suck it up' & move on doesn't settle well with me. I think I am entitled to a degree of respect. God forbid I hope anyone listening has not experienced this. But I really would appreciate feedback.
