@asklar02492 My story and age are similar to yours. When my hearing was last tested, a little over two years ago, my "hearing" of sounds was pretty much the same, but my comprehension of words had degraded which is much more difficult to correct than regular volume/frequency. When that was diagnosed Oticon Opn1 was recommended. At that time, a little over 2 years ago, that was the most advanced in helping with that type of problem. Perhaps the others have similar technology now.
I have a Caption Call phone but it stopped working a long time ago and I never got it fixed because I can hear much better over my iPhone than with a landline phone. I don't even bother to answer my landline phone, and everyone I know knows to call my cell.

@davekoh Dave, that is probably an email fix. Find the posts in your spam folder and mark them as "not spam". From that point forward they will no longer put the spam folder.

Hmm, I guess my comprehension could be making the hearing problem worse - I think that's a way of saying my brain isn't correctly processing the sounds I hear. From what I understand, hearing is kind of a "use it or lose it" deal. I'm making an effort to listen more (more TV, more music, books on tape, etc.) - I'm hoping maybe my braincells will revive a bit.
