I am from Canada and just recently stumbled upon your website and found some of your stories quite interesting. I would like to get to know to people who suffer severe hearing loss like myself. As where I am from i know nobody with a situation like myself. A little about myself..I am 20 years old and have a profound hearing loss. I wear hearing aids in both ears but do not know sign language at all. I am told i speak well but i took speech therapy when i was younger and that played a huge role....I am about to attend a business program starting in January.. I am currently working at a building centre and play hockey for the local junior team..I am a big guy 6"4 220 pounds and like to party but have struggled with my hearing loss as all my friends are "normal" and do not really understand me as sometimes they may take my behaviour the wrong way haha..As situations like in a bar where it's loud and i have a hard communicating but i am an avid lip reader so that helps out...I also relish quiet enviroments such as sitting on a back patio having a beer opposed to being in a highschool cafeteria where 200 kids are flapping their gums a hundred miles per second. If anybody wants to know anything else just give me a shout.

Hi Jason! welcome!!
I have a severe profound hearing loss too, and have a very hard time being room with a lot of noise . I do not like being in a room with a lot of people talking all at once, it sound like a giant bug buzzing around the room! How old were you when you got your first hearing aids? Did people realize right away that you were HOH or was is when you were older?
 
Welcome Jason - what part of Canada do you live in ?

I was about two or three. My parents noticed I wasn't responding to certain sounds and not acknowledging their voices. They then took me to a doctor then i been wearing them ever since.
