Very relatable project for those of us with some hearing loss ❤️☺️ very much enjoyed! I hate always being told “you’re so loud quiet down!” It’s embarrassing but I really can’t hear myself or others well. I am really a resilient person but some others are so mean about it I’ve even cried once.
I have moderate hearing issues but it’s very unique because it doesn’t effect frequency as much or decibels it’s more having a hard time with hearing with background sounds and I can’t tell where noises come from a lot of times
I have moderate loss (my worse ear is almost completely deaf, it has like -60 dB up until 1.5k and then it nosedives into -90 dB) and have aids and while for the most part I can cope fine, the absolute worst are random encounters of people in street or shops, who ask or say something. I ask them to repeat what they say, then again and then it gets awkward. Sometimes if I feel that situation is hopeless I don't bother at all. I usually just say yes or no and hope that they will go away. Sometimes I don't do that and try to painfully figure out what they say, but every time I did that those people just stopped bothering and walked away, leaving me feeling just as much shit as always. I honestly still have no idea what I should do in such situations.

This was very well done. As a person who has hearing issues and wears hearing aids, I really appreciate and relate to many things discussed here.

I relate to these situations, as well, being who has hearing loss who uses hearing aids.
I totally relate since the age of 3
I’m severe to profound hearing loss it’s interesting. To get an understanding of those with mild hearing loss .
I have used the machine with hearing loss in both ears
