Hello Gaiagardener, I became deaf in 1 ear in the the late 90's and have severe to profound loss in the other. I have moved from using a hearing aid to a cochlear implant a few years ago. I am moved to write you because of your comment about being "pretty isolated and can't do any group social activities". I think that we with hearing loss are so lucky to have it during this age of technological revolution. Do you dismiss the opportunity to join all kinds of social / interesting groups through, HLAA for example, with the help of Zoom or whatever? Ironically, with the Pandemic, it is as though we can be on the same playing field as those with no loss. And of course there is the captioned phone.
