Judith L. Miller Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 Hey, Judith, 29, from Canada I've been wearing hearing aids on my left ear for four years now, I didn't have any problems by birth, but an accident four years ago ruined everything. I felt discomfort and got depressed after that. Now I'm comfortable with my life lots of people around me encouraged and lifted my mind from darkness thank you all.

HearPeers Heroes Kylie Posted May 29, 2022 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 HI @Judith L. Miller Welcome! I too lost my hearing suddenly, in my 30s. It is very traumatic and hard to adjust to. I now have a CI which has improved my life so much. Do you also have an implant of some sort, or are considering one?

Jared Charney Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 @Judith L. MillerI lost all hearing in my right ear when I was about 47 and three plus years later I received my CI which I'm not being hyberbolic but I know for certain saved my life/my sanity. Not a day goes by (implanted about 1.5 years ago) that Im not completely blown away by the restoration of my health. Best of luck!

Dianna Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Hi judith, Welcome to hear peers! After a high fever illness at age 5 i started losing hearing. In my 30s i started with miracle ear hearing aids which helped a great deal. I used them off and on. Late 40s seimens in the ear, 50s oticon. I was advised by ENT at that time hearing aids might not help much longer. But ha helped me enough in my accounting career. I left my life in california in 2019, worked in retail grocery until i retired in 2021. I could not hear the paging system, i couldnt clearly understand anything important, was harrassed by my boss teased, it was so depressing..i mean depressing...i understand... I retired, got medical insurance and found cochlear implants at a local university, and referred myself, and here i am. Ive searched and read volumes on ci, since i was doing this all myself it pumped me up!!! I have not been really low since then! This group and others on the internet are so encouraging! I hope you enjoy this group, they are so knowledge-sharing! You are not alone!! Hope to see/hear you around, take care! 💘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
