Hearing Loss: Come introduce yourself and connect with others
Hearing Loss | Last Active: 3 hours ago | Replies (1519)Comment receiving replies
Hi!! I am new to this group, and I am looking for help and suggestions. I suffer from moderate to borderline severe hearing loss and work in the healthcare field. I use an amplified stethoscope and can hear well with same but have to remove my aids to do so. Looking for other suggestions/options for healthcare workers such as blue tooth capable stethoscope, etc. Also would like opinions on the best aids/treatments currently on the market now. My hearing loss stems from severe ear infections as a child. Thanks for any information

Hi @godogsuga and @kronberg, welcome to the Hearing Loss group on Connect.
@godogsuga, you asked specifically about challenges with hearing loss and working in healthcare, for example the challenges of using a stethoscope and hearing aids. I wonder if @lioness @julieo4 or @nurseheadakes might have experiences to share with you.
There are several discussions on Connect about hearing aids and devices:
