Sudden Hearing Loss: Want to connect with others

Yup. That transmitter thing you mention is exactly what I ended up with back in around 1973. The wire behind my hair at the back of my head. I waited for my hair to grow long enough to cover it up. It did help. Those devices are all wireless BlueTooth devices now. In all my work and social life I have tried very hard to gently explain my unique needs to others. Most people are helpful; some are not. We are dealing with an invisible disability so people forget. Educating others and advocating for ourselves without being nasty about it is the way to go. You are very fortunate to have one 'good ear'. 🙂

What a good point re having one good ear! I hadn't even thought about that and what a blessing it is and has been. Thank you for reminding me and thanks for mentoring on this site. I didn't know about Mayo Connect all the years I lived in southern MN and received medical treatment at the Mayo Clinic but found it recently when doing an internet search for a lung problem I'm having (paralyzed left diaphragm). What a wonderful resource! I have really learned a lot of valuable information from various discussion groups. Thanks again! Nancy
