Hello everybody! I'm Mindy and I have not been legally deaf my whole life, it started when I was 23yrs old. I started hearing ringing in my ears and then it sounded like people where speaking a different language(I couldn't understand them) Drs do not know what causes it but it's getting worse and worse

Hi Mindy, Welcome to the hearing loss support group at MCC. There is a great deal to learn by connecting with others who experience hearing loss. You say your hearing loss started when you were 23 years old. I was about that age when mine was diagnosed also. Since that time many things have developed that have kept me in the hearing mainstream.

It's typical for hearing loss to be progressive, so in most cases it does get worse over time.

What are you doing to help yourself? Do you use hearing aids? If so, how are they working for you?
