@bigmqama Read Books about anger management, go to a psychoanalyst.. You need help, we all do. Life is a trial.. having hearing loss is just another burden, there are many out there with worse burdens to bear..

I get very frustrated also, mostly with my husband. In spite of discussing my hearing loss many times he continues to talk to me when standing behind me, or when he is in another room. Also when he is on the computer and there are voices coming from the computer or when we are driving, the fan is on and he is looking straight ahead. Various other situations as well. He just doesn't get it. He does have the beginning of old age dementia and forgets a lot so I try to be mindful of that. But I am getting tired of having the same conversations over and over. I say the Serenity Prayer a lot, sometimes over and over and it helps. Meditating helps and going for a walk.

I know I am not to blame for my hearing loss (neither are you for yours) but sometimes when others get angry with because of it, I do feel at fault.... have been working on that, trying to remember that those who can hear well cannot possibly understand what this is like. My husband has hearing loss also so I thought he would understand but it often seems like he does not. The situation calls for patience from both of us. I wish for you good luck and patience in working on communication with your sister. Judy
