@guyhemmings Just having hearing loss whether it is gradual or sudden is tough. No one with good hearing can relate to what it is like to have to rely on hearing aids. I am just happy they continue to get better and better. Hopefully they will find a cure for hearing loss but probably not in my lifetime.
There are certainly things that happen that are far worse as we age. At least that is what I tell myself when I get frustrated in a crowded restaurant.
Good luck to everyone on this site.
