Hi @contentandwell. I am sorry to hear about both you and your daughter. I remember the hard times I had in school...I had to ask the teacher if I could sit up close, as well as hid my hearing aids with my hair. But at least I had better hearing then as compared to now.
I have always used hearing aids. I am not a candidate for cochlear implants, since the hairs in cochlea are dead. But, technology is changing, and maybe one day I will be a candidate.

Thankssssss, @samt My daughter is 37 now and of course completely accepting of her hearing loss. Her loss has been quite stable for a long time now. She wears ReSounds and I wear Oticon Opn 1 hearing aids. She loves hers, but our hearing problems are quite different from each other.
I have a hearing test next month and I have heard more and more about the advantage of Real Ear Measurement which is something they have never done at my audiologist. I was thinking about changing audiologist to one who does but I called mine first and they can do it, but they generally only do it on children! I have no idea why they would do that, but they have scheduled it for me when I go in. I am hoping that they may be able to program my HAs in a way that will better help me.
