my hearing seems to gotten worse again, I have my appointment this coming Wednesday but it is for listening strategies rather than my actual ears since I had been wrongly diagnosed with auditory processing disorder. Do they ask "has your hearing changed in any way since the last appointments?"? I am not sure the audiologist is going to believe me! He already thinks I am a nutcase! Help!
Anyway I am starting to struggle a little on the phone, I have to strain to hear the TV, I can't understand lyrics in newer songs, soft speaking people are hard to hear especially my mom who sits quite a distance away from me in the living room, once I turn my back and someone talks to me, I can't understand them. I have misheard people so many times and got given weird looks due to my inappropriate responses, been asked when is my next appointment by my dad after mishearing something, got told in a joking way that I am deaf, been laughed at for mishearing and talking about being hard of hearing by my classmate who doesn't understand it. I think I stopped a deaf person coming to college by getting worser hearing when I said it was fine before, actually I told her I was hard of hearing and she was understanding but once I actually got a problem, she probeily thinks I am attention seeking but she has actually told me " you need hearing aids if you can't hear the bus driver!" I feel like a nutcase and a freak! I feel like it's in my head and I am not actually hard of hearing but why am I having problems!?
