@dwi. Can you understand Thai and other tonal languages with your SSHL and hearing aid? I think you are doing REALLY well if you can. As a point of curiosity, what kinds of accents are you having trouble understanding, i.e. Germans speaking English? I have a SSHL and learned from people in this group there are hearing aids that will help me. I'm really looking forward to getting one when it's safe to venture out. I love traveling abroad and managed to do so with my hearing limitations. I know my experiences would have been so much richer if I had been able to hear better and pick up local languages, which I couldn't do. Where in Thailand do you live? Nancy
