Hearing Information

Raquel asked:


Say someone has perfect hearing since they were a baby, and then later on in life they experience some terrible accident that makes them go deaf. Would this person have a bigger chance of going insane because of the huge change? What if this person had a sever case of OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder)? Would that increase the chance of that person going crazy?
ha I’m not planning on making anyone deaf! I was just curious….I didn’t know this question would spark so much suspicion.

Lakely asked:


I have a friend who is complaining that her hearing aid is not working well. She can a afford to buy a good hearing aid and that is what I suggested… but I want to ask…

What is the best way to go about buying the best hearing aid for her… Should I do it locally, so she can try them out… or should I look online… what are we looking for??? A certain brand or type or what is best?

It should work good for her when she uses the telephone, since she is living alone.

SayWhat? asked:


grew up with perfect hearing. No one in my family nor any of my friends were deaf. However, a brain tumor caused me lose ALL of my hearing in both ears 5 years ago;I am 30 and healthy now. I met my husband a little after losing my hearing.

Despite wonderful relationships with family, friends and husband-we are all taking ASL classes together-Even fun things lack luster these days.

For instance, I’ve just started my own catering company (no easy task for the newly deafened). I am tremendously proud of myself when difficult events come off successfully….but don’t enjoy it as much as I should. When you can’t hear what’s going on around you, it doesn’t feel “real.” EVERYTHING seems anti-climatic to me.

Also, my husband has pointed out that I frequently arrive at the wrong conclusion by reading his non-verbals. This makes me worry I have lost all perspective & freaks me out!

I’ve heard both yes and no and haven’t been able to get a straight answer. If you have worked for VA or did an intern for the army anything would help. Thank you.
