Willing to share about your progressive hearing loss?
Hearing Loss | Last Active: Dec 21, 2025 | Replies (13)Comment receiving replies
I got my first hearing aids 5 years I am on my second set. I got new ones 2 years ago because they were supposed to help with clarity which didn’t happen. The best thing is being able to hear the TV and telephone conversations but still have trouble with in groups. Each year my hearing gets worse and there is nothing I can do about it.

@janetexmsrrose There are some very basic hand held microphone accessories that can help a great deal in noisy environments. Did your provider tell you about them?
I have learned more about assistive technology from other people with hearing loss than anywhere else. If there is an HLAA Chapter in your area, it is well worth attending their meetings. A lot of them are meeting online via Zoom so are open to people who are not able to attend in person. The Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) has good information on their website too. http://www.hearingloss.org
