i’ve had a hearing loss since birth but didn’t know until kindergarten. i wore hearing aids in kindergarten until high school because i felt too embarassed to wear them although my mom kept encouraging me too and sometimes we had fights about it. i really don’t like the kinds that go behind your ears. it makes me feel uncomfortable and embarassed around other people. i don’t think the tiny ones would be useful with my type of hearing loss. i have normal hearing in my right ear and 80% of hearing loss in my left ear. in kindergarten we went to 2 people for opinions about hearing aids. one said no and the other said yes. i feel more comfortable without them. i had a lot of trouble at a college i was at. i was on academic probation twice. im at another college now. what do u think i should do?
