How does hearing loss change you?

Posted by joangela @joangela, May 11, 2019

For me, hearing loss has always been a part of my life. Those darn hearing tests in elementary school always put me in the category of hearing loss. Now, that I am much older, in my late 50s my hearing loss is profound. It is so bad, even my hearing family, has a real hard time adjusting to it.
How it has really changed me?
I was a small business owner, and a top notch sales person. I was a huge people person and an excellent communicator. It’s all gone.
A major change in my life.
How about you?

Thanks for getting back to me. I have some decisions to make soon. The CI could be the way I go.

I am 85 and the CI was the best thing that I ever did. I have had no regrets at all. I had this done in 2022. It's not perfect either in noisy situations but my hearing loss in both ears it was necessary. Good luck!
