Hey there,

I'm Scarlet. From Canada, Vancouver.. Right now I'm in Montreal though gonna go back to van after few days.. :roll:

Kinda new here, though am not deaf, nor hearing..

7 years ago some major changes happened to my life and a short while after that I lost the ability to hear. I was 11 by the time. The Doctor said there was nothing wrong with me, that I was all good.. few months later I got my hearing back not all at once though.
The theory from the Doctor was that it was probably just High Blood Pressure and things are back to normal.

Few months ago another life crises came by, So my hearing wasn't as good as it was.. Omg it's like a TV when you lower the volume and it get stuck..
which is Scary cause I had no idea what happened..
You can't raise up the volume!!!!!!!

Went to some ENT specialist, Nothing was wrong with me, but he suggested a doctor who "could deal with these kinda things" I didn't know what he meant. But I Took the doctor name and address and went there the next day.

Long story short he was a PSYCHOLOGIST!

I never looked at things this way, that I could be the one doing all of this to myself.. and I have no idea how to undo it!

In a way I'm kinda glad that I don't hear them, Cause I don't wanna know what they know I don't wanna hear what they have to say..
But I do hear things in a normal volume when am dreaming.. that must be good right?!

And here is the thing while I was googling all of what's going on.. I ran through this site, and I read a lot of subjects, and some of them were written by some amazing people.. Some Brave people..

And couldn't help but notice how everyone of us categorize the other.
And it's easy.. But I don't know where that leave me..

Am I deaf?
am I hearing?
or Am I just Mental?

I admire this site and whoever wrote in it.. I just hope you don't cast me out =)) Nice meeting everybody, and sorry for the long intro :ugh3:

Hi I'm Twiggy,
I am a hearing 23 y.o. mother and only learning ASL due to my love and job choice. I feel that people on this site don't have an issue with judging others. That is why I like this site over others. I feel what you have is selective hearing lol Anyways on a honest note, I hope you are able to work through what is going on in your head. Or at least learn how to deal with it. It may just be your brains way of dealing with your stress.
 
Welcome. your story is interesting! Hope you do read the whole forum to see if it applies to you.

:)
 
It's called conversion disorder, and if you look around you will find you aren't the first person to show up here who is suffering from it.
 
are you having trouble hearing or finding it hard to listen there difference

Is it similiar as CAPD or something? it got my attention that there are more than one people who stuggle with this kind of disorder.
 
I had the same trouble as a baby, my parents became pretty worried and it turned out I had some hearing loss (was mild/moderate loss, now pretty moderate/severe borderline to severe)
anyways welcome to AD!
 
Hiya, welcome.

I'd suggest you visit an audiologist and get some hearing tests done.

And if you are neither deaf nor hearing... you could be "hard of hearing."

Not really. The conversion disorder is a form of mental illness.

It's kinda not that Simple cause people around me ain't giving up just yet.. :shock:
Which they should, cause I mean, I did!
 
There is hearing things and actually understanding what is said. Discrimination.
Can you hear that someone is talking, but not be able to make out what is being said.
