Jewel not so rare asked:


I wear a different kind of hearing aid. It’s a headband that’s got a beige wire that’s a few feet long to fit in your pocket or bra that hooks to a box that holds a battery and an on/off switch. No no implants or anything.

The hearing aid band won’t stay on I’ve tried it. I’m wondering if some place would have services or devices that’ll help me hear the door when someone knocks or my alarm clock?

Miss Sunshine asked:


If someone has been hearing impaired since about 5, and has had EHS for as long as they can remember is it possible that hearing can be corrected by correcting the Eustachian tube (if needed) or otherwise? Or if hearing was damaged by EHS? Or any theory regarding hearing loss and EHS? Thanks!

theonlyway8 asked:


I was told that I lost 55% of my hearing. I am aware that hearing cannot be measured by percentages. I wear high tech hearing aids. Just asking out of curiosity. I do not feel disable nor do i require special equipment. I only require hearing aids and an interpreter in some cases.

James H asked:


for over a year now. No one seems interested in hiring me. They know there is something wrong with me because I sound deaf. However, I can speak very clearly and I am understandable. I am giving up trying to find a job especially since so many are out of work now. Employers have more choices about who they hire so I know they aren’t going to hire me.
