Grew up with mild and then moderate hearing until I was 12 so English was my first language. When my hearing degraded to severe (from moderate severe when I was 14) I lost all confidence in my speech. This led to me stuttering and mixing words and kids are cruel so I stopped speaking. I am now...

Hi. Wanted to know peoples opinion on headphones. I use both bone conduction and hook induction headphones and like both for different reasons. Bone conduction let me feel music which I think means I get more of it. while Hook induction are useful as I can hook them up to my HAs. I was...

I know 2 deaf musicians and a deaf sound producer. I don't think anything is off the table. (maybe some military)

I do. It's good although she is still learning

I am aware. for me it is a double edged sword. on the one hand I like them when they help but hate them when I don't need them. I also don't like to wear them on dates (which I luckily don't have to do any more)

I have severe hearing loss in one ear and moderate in the other. I got BTEs on the NHS in UK and they were great. they opened up so many new things that I didn't have even if it was just taking a bit of pressure of my lip reading in the pub.

I know 3 dyslexic interpreters (BSL) including my own they say it isn't the same as reading and helps them communicate quite well.

Ale, a llittle more ale, maybe a cider, a larger and then more ale and then a lot of scrumpy. Then maybe a doner kebab

Depends. In the pub I lip read and follow conversations where I can. If I have to ask people to repeat most of my friends are used to it. Anywhere else I tend to assess the difficulty of lipreading enough to understand and decide whether I'm going to join in. I also try to take regular brakes...

Totally Agree

Wanna make new friends

Don't worry. I have experienced all this bar the speech. My speech is okay but i trip on words and it is really irritating when I say something that comes out as a slurred mess and people laugh. The general population can be very frustrating and I think almost everyone here will understand...

Hi, I'm Adam from the UK, I have degenerative hearing loss and currently have Severe loss in one ear and moderate severe in the other. I wear hearing aids but rely mostly on lip reading. Good speech and basic BSL.
