Why waste your time on someone like that? If you don't like what they are promoting or advertising you don't have to subscribe to that channel. It's really not your job to tell all the hearing people your opinion. They can watch her video and decide for themselves. Just imagine how much more...

I lost my hearing a few years ago. When this first happened I isolated myself to my house. Just recently I've started to do something about it. I did go to the audiologist who referred me for cochlear implants. I didn't qualify for the cochlear because my ears are so messed up from meningitis. I...

I lost my hearing about two years ago. I don't go out and just stay at home. I have lots of anxiety and depression. Now, that I see I could get dementia it scares me. I am young right now but I don't want to look forward to dementia.

Do you ever ask how they know sign language?

I am not looking for a job yet, but I do have a question. I'm curious, if I could lip read well enough and I use my own voice during the interview do I have to tell the employer that I do not hear? Do they even ask you questions like that?

I'm not working but I worry about that too how I'll be treated and how others will view me as someone that cannot hear. I was suppose to go to college but got very sick and lost my hearing. Now, it seems like my life is on hold. I am trying to learn how to live without hearing in a hearing...

Connect is the app I have been using. What are some of the others? I just downloaded Ava to check it out. I'm not sure I get the reason behind deaf people not liking apps like this. Sure, it is easier for hearing people to talk into the phone but they don't have a hearing problem or aren't deaf...

I lost my hearing due to meningitis. Woke up from being sick and no hearing at all. I understand your fears, anxiety and panic attacks. I too have them. Like you, I was recommended to look into a cochlear implant. It could be a really great thing to help you hear again if you qualify. I found...

Thanks.

I haven't had any interaction with someone outside of my family since I lost my hearing. I am scared to go out. I don't want to look deaf and dumb. That is a big fear of mine. I can see how it would be easier for a hearing person to just talk into the app. What about texting apps? Does your...

Why does your brother hate the speech to txt app? I recently lost my hearing and thought it might be a good app to use when I need to communicate with hearing people?

Thanks. I am trying to reach out even if it's just online. One small step at a time for me. I just found out there is a hearing world and a deaf world. Then found out there is a deaf world vs a Deaf world. It is very complicated, all the break downs. I'm kind of overwhelmed with it all and where...

Thanks. I didn't know the speech-to-text app needed training. I thought that I'd just hold it in front of the person and it would work. It seems less of a chore for a hearing person then them texting me. I could get a small notepad and pen and start to carry it. That would work even if my phone...

No, I don't go to a therapist. Recently, I've decided to face my issues and start to do something about them. I've tried to ignore my hearing loss for a couple of years now and I can't do it anymore. I started the process of getting a cochlear implant but today was notified that I didn't qualify...

Hi A.K., What is Meniere's?

Hi, Curious if anyone uses speech to text apps when going out and having to talk to hearing people? I lost my hearing about two years ago and since then I don't go out any more. I'm scared someone will talk to me and I won't understand. I've recently found this speech to text app. and wondered...

Rockin'robin, Yes, to all those emotions...anger, depression and frustration. I have been withdrawn for two years since I got sick. I don't go out but to doctor's apts. and that is only recently. My parent are frustrated with me. I think they think that I should be grateful that I'm still alive...

Hello, I see your struggle. I understand what you mean by struggling with deafness. I was very sick a couple of years ago and lost my hearing. My hearing loss was not progressive like yours, it was suddenly gone. I am struggling every day. I don't know sign language and I don't lip read well...

Hi, I'm Val. I lost my hearing about two years ago from meningitis. Since then I've been in my house. I don't go out any more. I'm extremely lonely. My friends that I had all left and went to college. I was suppose to go too but I got sick. I'm angry and depressed a lot. At times I think I'm...
