How Many Of You Are Hearing Impaired And Didnt Know it?

Post by TC6969 »

Until you had to go out and communicate with people without seeing their face?

I already knew I was deaf, but I had no idea I depended on lip reading that much!

Just for kicks, I asked my sister to say something and then cover her mouth.

Bluetooth two days ago.

I wear them, the best I’ve worn in 17 years.

I am. Tinnitus as well as loss of clarity. It's all just a dull roar now.

Tinnitus real bad, left ear basically deaf. 70s + over the ear headphones + Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Clash, etc.

When I see these kids with the in the ear buds I'm like, OK. But maybe in 30 years nanobots will fix that shit. I'll be long gone.

Been deaf for years. Wear hearing aids Siemens I think. Wife thought I had selective hearing until we went to the Dr. Once you lose part of your hearing you don't get it back.
