@scotdansr I understand what it is like to be your husband. I lost hearing in my right ear to SSHL in 5/2020. My left ear isn't that great either. My wife is soft spoken and naturally sits to my bad ear side: concerts, ball games, walking together, on the couch, everywhere. Talking to each other is mutually frustrating. I asked her if we can both learn sign language and use it to talk. What we are doing is not working for either of us. So we tried. We learned to sign to each other, we had to be in the same room together, we had to be looking at each other, and we had to only pay attention to each other without distraction. We realized doing those things is very hard to do. We both had to make changes. But, if we did those things, we didn't need sign language. We could talk to each other quite easily. Kind of ironic how that worked out. Anyone else ever try anything like that?
