Hearing Loss: Come introduce yourself and connect with others

Hello! My name is Michele and I have been born with a hearing loss. It is hereditary in my family. I had started wearing hearing aids when I was around 18 years old. Pretty much right out of high school. I probably could have used them before then. It is so frustrating to not be able to hear everything that is being said in a conversation. It's especially frustrating when I struggle to hear my 7 year old son. I always want to hear everything he says but a lot of the times that is not possible.

@mickey5909 it is especially frustrating for me when multiple people are in a room. There were six of us for dinner last night and it was extremely difficult for me because often there was more than one person speaking. They are all patient and understanding people though, so that did help.
I did not a hearing problem until my son and daughter were adults, so I did not experience your problem. I am sure the experience will contribute to your son being a patient and understanding person too.
