I am a 42 yr wearer of analog hearing aids, sensorineural hearing loss from MMR in utero and born 3 months premature. Mainstreamed in school my entire life, oral/lip reader and know very little ASL. Tried digital hearing aids ( don't like all the extras) and having a break down because I can no longer find my hearing aids from any of the companies. I have two working pairs that are between 10-25 yrs old cause I can't remember what pair is the oldest. Currently wearing a custom pair of analog hearing aids and the trim pot is different and the settings are not working yet for me to be comfortable and getting frustrated. Family doesn't understand why I cry all the time with this problem. I loved my life with my other hearing aids as simple and never questioned myself or my hearing loss. Now very depressed and major anxiety every day for the last two months. I know I can keep sending them off to be repaired. Just don't know what to do at this point. Please just don't say.. accept it and move on. For me, it is like losing a baby..
Sorry if this is negative. I need a place to fit in and live again like I used to.
