First hearing aids fitted yesterday. A new world of sounds have opened up for me. I’m reading that my brain will adapt over time to these different sounds and volumes. Hearing aids rock. Technology is amazing. My aids are phonic brand.
Thank you for this video. I agree, I’m my own advocate.
That is a great remember. And also trying to not take it personal when they forget and you have to advocate for yourself. It is so easy for me to feel bad about not having access and getting lots of fatigure and end up in a negative spiral. While the solution really is to simply advocate for oneself and ask ppl around you for some accommodations here and there.
Your conversation makes perfect sense. Anyone who is living with hearing loss can attest to that. The most difficult thing, as you've correctly pointed out, is making other people who have normal hearing abilities aware of the interrupting backgroud noises that we struggle with all the time. My family, friends, coworkers and about 99.9% of the people I interact with daily do not understand hearing loss, so I have to make people aware of it constantly. It is not easy sometimes. One of the most offensive and discouraging things for me personally over the years has been the misperception of hearing impairment being mistaken for stupidity. People sometimes think you're "slow", yet in reality, you are trying to process what you think they are saying.
Yes, well said!
Firstly there be should be no issues whatever with family functions unless the music is actually a vital element of the gathering. In that case I can only speak for myself. I just mute my aid. Thankfully I can still hear what people are saying above the din. Have you ever tried that approach? It’s easy to unmute it when the place gets quiet or you’re having a conversation in a quieter room.
Love the Gibson on the wall. Who’s the musician? In my own music room I have a Fender but not on the wall as my wife wouldn’t be too enamoured with that 😊.
If I were to mute my aid I would not hear the conversations at all. My husband is the musician.
For me there is a paradox that hearing ppl think about and ask me if I hear in very loud settings which is actually often easier than at more quieter settings where hearing ppl tend to talk so soft making it increadibly hard to hear and feeling one is always a step behind.
Have you looked into Vitamin K-2 (MK-7)? I use the Jarrow brand. K-2 MK-7 tells calcium where it belongs and helps to stop it going where it doesn't belong. There is information that seems to imply it has helped people with high coronary calcium scores which is implicated in heart attacks. Along with K-2 you should look at Magnesium Citrate and get off anything that has high calcium. The idea that once calcium has formed it's permanent may be questionable.
