Pet Peeve, no longer being able to hear some of the tones in music,. Because of it, the music kind of died when my hearing loss worsened, I tried ear buds, headphones, total silence, Turning up speakers often don't help, the singer screech their sound, no longer able to hear it clearly...

Do you have volume control on your phone, maybe if your hearing loss is mild, you might want to try to turn the volume up, and hopefully you'll be able to hear him? I have one of the volume controls on mine, and for the longest time, I was still able to take calls when I turned it up? Now I...

No, I usually sit there and take it. Then my husband hears all the venting when we get home? I never was much of a potty mouth, but since my hearing worsened even I let out a few F-words. It's just not me. After I say it, it surprises me, then I feel guilt and ask what is happening to me, it...

Yes, she said after all other options have been exhausted, and then even after being put in the program and going through the motions, it still doesn't guarantee I will end up a candidate. Yes, I am in Canada and apparently there is a long waiting list for the implants in our Province, don't...

Had my appointment with the Audiologist. I requested no more tests because I'm not ready to hear that it's worse. and the test would confirm that. What am I going to hear on a Hearing test if I can't hear anything without my Hearing Aids and can't make out the sound of my own voice? She said...

Thank you for the replies. You've all been helpful. I think before I get anything I will have to research it first, but for now, getting ideas is good. There is so much I have to learn and accept. Not doing good with the accepting just yet? My husband and I went to the dentist...

Thank you.

Thank you, all this captioned stuff is a little overwhelming to me, I have it on my TV but setting it up is as easy as pressing a button. With the phones will a non cell phone work, or is there a special phone for closed captioning. I have very little use of the phone because of my hearing but...

How do you learn to lip read? Think I would rather do that than signing because no one around here understands signing?

I don't think the talking louder does it, it's the actual yelling that becomes verbal diarrhea to the deaf person. For me, I can't make out the words, sort of like one word blends in with another. Hubby use to do that a lot in the beginning and others would jump when they heard him, but he's...

You really were put on the spot with that one, well tragic as the news was, you really did do a good job impersonating Blablah's boy. Lets hope you never meet up with her again or blablah's boy, LoL?

LoL, that's funny, well sort of. Before I lost my hearing, a neighbor who was obviously hard of hearing was passing on something she heard about another neighbor, and I guess she didn't hear much of the conversation except the name and that the woman had died. News travelled fast. I was...

You speak my language lol, I feel so bad because I do know. I don't think anyone does it deliberately to us, we are just easier to miss, because we can't jump into conversations like we use to, so when we don't speak out, we don't get heard. Think the hardest for me is when there is a...

Being excluded...even some of my family members are contacting me less telling my husband that they didn't share with me because I have trouble hearing...well hello, I'm still here!

I'm not sure what you mean by deaf accent, but as my hearing loss is progressing, I am starting to fail speech tests. The Audiologist said, it's because I can no longer hear those tones, so I don't make out words like I use to?

Thank you for relating that, I was wondering about taking some control back as well when it comes to appointments? . I am having my husband come along to my appointments, but I asked if they would email me if the doctor had something important to pass on or send word of new medication, they...

What bugs you about your hearing loss? My pet peeves are: doctors who face the the wall writing away while asking you questions with their back and faces turned away from you. people who think yelling helps a person to hear. people who phone when they are asked to email, or text and...

Thank you, I will find out more when I make my next appointment with the Audiologist. Guess she can refer me, if she thinks there is hope for CI's. Think the last Specialist came up with that diagnosis because I told her that my mom lost her hearing later in life (60's) , so she...
