That's a great idea. I'd like direct connection with the offices. I'll ask them.

Thanks. I am downloading the program to see how to use it.

Thanks. I am going to sign up now.

I have two questions. Right now, my mom makes all my calls for me. My therapist said that I need to start making these appointments and doing for myself. Doing for myself will help me feel better about myself and I will feel like I have more control of my life. I don't know how to make these...

My parents think it's time that I start driving again. I haven't driven since I lost my hearing. I have a high level of anxiety and I do have panic attacks when I go out of the house frequently. I am not sure I am ready. I did go over the weekend and sit in my car. I sat there for 30 minutes...

Thanks for the encouragement Reba. I've been thinking about hiring a personal trainer. I'd have to go to a different gym than my brother because his gym doesn't have personal trainers. He goes to Planet Fitness. I am still looking online to see which one is the right one for me. At the house...

Thanks. I want to get to the point where I am comfortable in my own skin and am able to be me. This morning I went in the pool. I didn't swim. I just sat in the water and then I decided to see if I could float on my back. It made me feel so peaceful. I let my self go. I've been holding myself...

CI Implants? No I don't qualify. I have already went through that process. My ears are really messed up from meningitis.

Hi Bear, Thanks for the encouragement. I did go back and found your post. It is interesting how it takes so much time to accept things. Are you still wearing your CI? Does your CI implants help you hear well? or do you still need to sign and lipread? I tried for CI implants but did not qualify...

Hi, I'm Val, 20 years old. I had meningitis back in 2016 and lost my hearing. It has been and still is very hard for me to accept. I'm angry and depressed a lot. After a lot of isolation, two years or so, I decided to do something about it. Mostly due to my mom begging for me to join the world...

Hi Samantha. Welcome. How long have you had a cochlear implant?

Going to the gym with my brother.

I went to Europe with my family. TPBM: What is the most important lesson you have learned in life?

Thank you.

I talked to my therapist about money and getting job. I'm really worried about these things with my hearing loss. My therapist suggested that I apply for SSI until I find work. I didn't even know about SSI and am still not sure what it is and how it works. How does the process work to apply and...

Thanks.

Yes, I know of masses in other languages. At my church they have Latin, and Spanish Masses. I think when I was younger I went to one or two in a different language. Is that where they chant in the Latin Mass? I used the missalette too. I was wondering do you know of any online Catholic churches...

I lost my hearing a couple of years ago due to meningitis. My ears do have something wrong with them. I will freely admit that. I went to see if I qualified for cochlear implants and I didn't. It is hard losing hearing and living in a hearing world. I haven't done it long but I am challenged and...

Hi, I went to mass for the first time since I lost my hearing this Sunday. I was so anxious, but I prayed before I went. I didn't have a panic attack and I stayed for the whole mass. It was fine. I don't know what I thought in my head but I guess I thought it was going to be awful not hearing...

No, I am Catholic.
