Looking for others born with hearing loss

Posted by mishmish8 @mishmish8, Feb 27, 2022

I am looking to connect with others like me who were born with severe to profound hearing loss, wear hearing aids, do not know sign language, and were mainstreamed, but still have a lot of challenges. Are you out there?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Hearing Loss Support Group.

I’m not sure where your comment is stemming from. I am able to wear my hearing aids through the security I’m airports. I would think you can put them in the bins with your other items.

I read that my CI should not go through X-ray machines. I am thinking about the spare one while traveling.

I know I'm a little late to this thread. I was born with severe to profound hearing loss as well. It's hereditary. I've worn hearing aids all my life. I've graduated from College and have a successful career. It has not been easy and hearing fatigue is real. I've come up with several coping mechanisms along the way. I'm here if you ever want to share experiences.

When I was3 and 7 I had. Brain tumors I am now 62 and am. Deaf because of nerve damage. Thank. You very much for posting millsan 330. I have a big. Problem I. live with my sister and I can not understand her at all it’s very frustrating and you’re right tiring I need a way to. Communicate with her or I can’t live with her. I use a talk to type apt when I am not with her and rare when I am with her. She does not like captain. I also dont read lips because of bad eyes. I was hoping that maybe you would be willing too. Share Some of. Your ideas. I would appreciate the help.
