I like captions. But then I also don't, your in a public place they have a TV on. It's closed captioning, you think oh wow who needs volume, but then you realise, it makes no sense, you don't get the correct captions for (BBC News) in the UK public places are allowed to have a TV if it is the...

I do like having hearing loss sometimes, it can make a normal conversation weird, especially if someone around you is acting a bit worried. *Oh your deaf so erm now I don't know what to say so I will just stand/ sit here and Make things more awkward.*

Beowulf, did you say 'the russians are coming' or something else? i got my hubby to say this to me and i heard the russians have mummies

Today has not been a great day. I have had a little bit of stress. Appointment have been swapped and changed and things in general have been a bit up and down. I actually could not physically cope with my aids the longer I wore them the more I felt like everything was shouting. This has never...

I don't use Fb I find it makes me depressed, I keep away from news and FB. But thanks for posting the link :) much appreciated

Oh I posted it on another forum. To help I just wish I could more for the person :)

I have not updated this post, really sorry but I sometimes lose track of my posts and who replied where. My appointment went great. I love my new aids. I no longer have issues with hearing the phone (unless I'm having quiet time) (I was only aloud clear mould) but they Work which is a massive...

A thing I have noticed is my go to phrase. 'No your alright' no matter who is in the wrong or right, no matter if I don't hear or miss understand. 'No your alright' is my go to thing. I suppose it is me apologizing to whom ever or for what ever. We apologize because we know they don't 'get it'...

60-70 range but I know I have a lot of low end tones missing. I can't understand the graph properly. What does this say about my hearing loss?

Sorry I am unable to help but, we'll done for posting here for others to read :) I hope someone would do this if it was me in need.

I finally understand that feeling of having a hard day of hearing and the 'ahhhh' feeling when I remove my aids after 8hour-12Hour days. I honestly think that feeling alone is worth the hearing day.

I love my new aids, it has been a few days and I feeling so much better, I can hear more clearly and ear moulds are so much easier to deal with. I also now have the much needed Tloop and noise cancelling with loud noises so bleeps and emergency vehicles don't hurt or make my ears 'whistle or echo'

I love posts like this where you learn about the people you chat with. I feel a bit weird with this question because most people are either born with hearing loss or trouble of have some medical condition to name. I myself and just Hoh I only found out this in 2016, I have discovered that me and...

I know right, ear wax candles would be a better use for the stuff. But imagine the smell, 3 days and still no wax built up. I still give these a quick wipe. I recommend ear moulds if you are able to get them.

I now am able to look into getting Bluetooth accessories for my aids. I have Phonak Nathis S+ According to my audiologist I can get things to help with talking on a phone. Any suggestions on what I should get that will help me when I am either out and about or talking on the phone

Yes first ear moulds, I do have the hole too and they are quite hard plastic but still much better than my old domes, I also like the fact that they are not deep in my ears, so I don't get wax issues no more. I used to have to clean my domes every hour otherwise I would no have any hearing. I am...

I myself am classed as Hoh and according to English welfare I am classed as having a disability due to my hearing loss, I can hear without my aids and I can hold a conversation too. You can not fake deafness. Geez I wanted my hearing to be better than what it is :p

I do not use trains much, I have never had to use an airport but I have been to a shopping mall /centre and they have tannoy systems that sound so distorted. Sometimes even 'hearing' people struggle to understand some of the announcements. Shops people talk so fast that I have to ask them what...

I have just seen this post, can you please direct me to whom this person is. I do not think this is a good thing for anyone. I am new to been Hoh but I live with 2 complete hearing people so they could help us get this sorted. I have 100% speech but I have a strong slurr and I also get muddled...
