everyone is so different.

Thank goodness. Life would be pretty boring if they weren't.

But remember...... Everybody's beautiful......in their own way.....

It was the opposite for me.

And for me. When people hear me talk, they think my hearing must be normal so they don't do as I request so I can understand them most of the time.

Just curious what is your secret that you dont find it to be exhausting? From what I have been around with people who have hearing losses and always told me how exhausting for them to read everyones lips.

Exactly. I usually end up headachy after a full day of lipreading.

My 2 year old just took the sedated abre test.They said she can hear whispers but higher frequency sounds she has trouble hearing and therefore can't talk that well.She is going to need 2 hearing aids and speech therapy.I am 25 and I myself am hearing impaired.no, not deaf, because with hearing aids, I can hear.Im curious to see if anyone else has a high frequency hearing loss?....

I won't be doing ASL with her.No offense to the deaf culture,but I had speech for 6 years and now you can't even tell there is a problem with me bc I speak so well.

IMO,using speech is more helpful in the real world,from my experience hanging out with deaf friends in the past......

And you are telling us this because ????
