I have tried before and I will try again to not ignore those suffering from Tinnitus.
That being said when will the discussion get back to hearing loss. Is the stigma of hearing loss preventing you from posting on this site. Is it OK to post about Tinnitus but not hearing loss? Hearing loss dramatically affects millions of people in this country and hearing aids and CI’s can give people back the gift of hearing. Let’s start talking again about hearing loss. If my six year old granddaughter can not only talk about her hearing loss but actually say she needs hearing aids and wear them you can as well. Not only does she wear them but rather than being self conscious she owns them. Kids in her class have actually gone home to their parents and said they want hearing aids like hers. One classmate asked her why she wore them and she said it was for the same reason people wore glasses. People wear classes so they can see better and she wears hearing aids so she can hear better. There is no stigma around glasses so why should there be a stigma around hearing aids.
Why don’t we listen to a six year old and start talking about hearing loss on this site again.
I have severe to profound hearing loss but rather than ignore it I own it just like my granddaughter. Hearing aids have given me my life back and I am continually trying to find out more about the advancements they are making with the technology.
Let’s start to hear from some of you on this site so we can all learn something. Share what works and what doesn’t work. Isn’t that the reason this site exists?
