Really late reply but i think the headaches are caused by a couple of factors. I have dust allergy so i get blocked nose in air conditioned room and runny nose so that might had made things worse. As well as the fact i sleep reallly really late due to college work. I understand that feeling...

Thisss. Let me share my experience. Growing up, I have only heard of the word "hearing impaired" and honestly it doesnt feel great at all because it always makes me feel like i have some weakness. But as I'm in mainstream schools since young, i struggled a lot with my identity and always tried...

A lot of people are not aware and ignorant. I wish schools teach students about the difficulties each and every disability people face so that we don't receive such insensitive treatment!

Welcome! Just for more information, what is your range? It'll help us to understand you better. I'd always say being hoh disconnects you from people, it takes time for you to get used and eventually you'll be more comfortable. Fret not! Things will get better!

True, considering the strong reactions from his family. But there WILL be a time where he have to eventually come out to his parents. 15 is way too young to be kicked out to fend for his own. I hope his parents will become more accepting in the future..

I agree with what others have mentioned to keep it under wraps until you are legal. You are 15 and at a very vulnerable age where you can make your own decisions but is not offically legal yet. From what i gather based on your explanation, your family will be very alarmed if you come out to...

Thanks a lot! Yes.. i went for a group outing on tuesday only to find out my right side hearing aids was acting up again.. I wanted to back out from the outing but I knew i shouldn't as it was not a frequent meeting. It was a group of 10 people and i struggled a lot with the imbalance and could...

IMO i would... I am only surrounded by hearing people and its so tough when they are tired of putting up with me.. :cry: People think they are frustrated because of me but I am even more frustrated and using more brain power than them.. On a sidenote, my hearing aids just got an issue again...

Well I wouldn't say this is a stupid comment but my ex form teacher (also my maths teacher) was coaching a small remedial class and she sat next to me but I tend to zone out a lot and she talked really really fast. So i struggled to catch her words and i think she got frustrated of repeating and...

wow.. that must have been so tough.. when I run out of batteries in my hearing aids, I basically hear very minimal and by the end of the day, i'd have headaches. Did u have headaches?

The funny part is someone who knows you can't hear well asking you "can you hear that?". Me: =.=

Being deaf or HOH is not defined as unhealthy. If anything, I rarely fall sick and I also feel blessed because I know I have it better than most. I'm HoH, my maternal side of the family have hearing loss - thus being genetic. My mum did not find out she herself had hearing loss until she had...

Being hard of hearing since birth, I had many difficulties adjusting to studying in a hearing school Losing focus after listening awhile Getting headache after listening in class for hours (Especially wearing hearing aids the entire day) Speech impairment Hard to memorise what teachers taught...

Thank you for the insight. I believe i want to look for something that rewards me. It's ironic because I'm studying IT now but I really hate it. It takes a lot more work for me and I get burnt out so easily.

Thank you for your kind advices! You said what was on my mind :\ The problem is I don't know where to start.. and I never really found something I loved to do. I do agree that I'm quite bad with deadlines though.

May I ask how was it like working with Special Education kids? Just curious as I'm looking into it as well

Thank you for all your replies! I have been considering to take ASL and speech therapy classes, but I've been really busy balancing out studies + club activities. I do have issues in classes where I am unable to hear from the back of class and I try hard to concentrate in classes. As a kid who...

Thank you for the reply. I was curious because I realised my hearing keep getting worse as I get older. I'm quite afraid of being unable to hear in the future..

I have moderate loss in my right ear and moderate to severe hearing loss in my left ear and have been hard of hearing since birth. I played in the band at the age of 13-16 and is currently 20. I'm just wondering if it is possible for my hearing to deteriorate until the point where I become...

I think you should love yourself before you love others. Give yourself a break. Don't jump into a relationship too fast. If you can't love yourself, how will you love others? It should not be a relationship where you start relying on each other for emotional support. You must be able to support...
