Good strategies. Self advocacy is really difficult for me. Sometimes i am so lost during a conversation I don’t know what statement to say to make the situation better. I try to get placement correct by arriving early and being in a spot where i think i can hear my best usually works well for me.
My wife and I speak in Spanish, not my primary language, and we were arguing several times per week. 2 months after getting my HA we realized we had not had a single argument in those 2 months. Turns out my speech clarity sucked in English. It was probably almost non existent in Spanish. Now, I dont hesitate for a second to tell people I dont here well and to SPEAK UP!
I am shocked that you didn't mention -- or maybe I missed it😂-- the importance of telling someone "I'm profoundly hard of hearing, I need to lip read to understand you." That's all I need to say and people get it.
If my husband would just put his hearing aid in at home! He wears it out but not at home which drives me crazy. I have asked him to use them for my help but he just says what did you say.
God bless you with every success in your endeavors. Thanks🌹

Hey everyone! Does anyone know that contrast showers can negatively affect hearing? I love this, but after
sensorineural hearing loss scares

Start ignoring him.. That degree of selfishness is shocking.
Or get a counselor.
Can Nasivion Nasal Spray be used in a blocked ear?
It's a nasal spray. Never put anything in your ear not specifically for your ear, unless your doctor tells you its safe!
Agreed!@@gbkworf
You might just have wax. Talk to your doctor or a clinic. Takes 10 minutes to clear both ears. It's shocking what can come out. Painless.
