Deaf or Hard of Hearing

[Ginny Potter]

I'm not sure how many of you know about the Deaf Culture but I'm willing to share my experience with this wonderful forum! So without further do.

There's so much more to hearing loss than anyone knows. So there are alot of languages in this world. So there are alot of sign language

I have a hearing impediment. I don’t need hearing aids yet, but I’ve always had trouble with my left ear.

Interesting. I'm Deaf in both ears but wear a cochlear implant on my left side

I have chronic tinnitus. I've never known silence.

I can mostly block it out with headphones though.

My ear doctor told me last time I need a hearing aid for my one ear but I declined. The world is already loud enough for me

i also have chronic tinnitus, i have since i was little. i think it might be a side effect of having visual snow. other than that i feel like my hearing is normal? ive never gotten it checked out so i can't really tell

I have complete hearing loss in my left ear. It was like this since I was a little girl...probably since the day I was born. Since I'm getting older, I sometimes get a ring in my right ear.

I know that feeling very well. It's so annoying

My aunt has been deaf since birth. The main reason my dad’s family moved where we live now is so she could attend a deaf school.

She signs and reads lips, but also has an app that transcribes what people are saying around her. It seems helpful.
