aishah - simular or not knowing anyone while, what are your thoughts
Hi aishah
I've find youtube really helpful. Able to meet others... When I was hard of hearing I was the only one in my family who was., I think in a way this delay what I need when I gain hearing, as I felt no one knew or any guide for me in a way. I had to figure it out on my own in a way. do you ever find this where anyone with challenges if not around others with simular challenges then are delay in growth, due to not having a mentor or guide who's been there... Did your dad know of others who were hard of hearing when being hard of hearing, when you were growing up? I really didn't know any hard of hearing or deaf, when I was hard of hearing... Quote:

Deaf people may seek out other Deaf people, but the hoh don’t usually seek out the hoh. Being in that grey area between fully hearing and deaf creates its own isolation, I think- there’s a pull to choose a side, and in my family’s case, they chose to present as fully hearing. Heck, even the language that describes my hearing indicates how uncomfortable the in-between place is: hard of hearing, hearing impaired, hearing challenged… or if you want to go back 600 years, Chaucer described the Wife of Bath as “somdeel deef” (somewhat deaf). All are clunky comparative phrases, while the deaf and the hearing get their own stand-alone words. (My own preference is for the phrase hard of hearing, which sounds far less clinical than hearing-impaired, and besides, Shakespeare used it ☺ ) I wrote an essay about growing up hoh, and how I live in this poorly named (both literally and figuratively) grey space between hearing and deafness. The essay is called “Hardly Heard”, and is in a recently published anthology called Deaf American Prose (Gallaudet Deaf Literature Series, Vol. 1). I’ve mentioned this on another thread, and at the risk of being redundant (or self-promoting), it really is a good anthology.

I grew up in a hearing family.
When I was little, I *was* HOH. As I've gotten older, that's not so. My family is hearing. I am not. But..according to them, I should be able to do EVERYTHING they can. It's just not possible. Not for lack of trying. I just can't do it. |

One of the biggest problems I face is vertago and ringing in my ears.At times the noise in my ears is anything from a bird chirp or squeek to a blasting fog horn..bird chirps drive me nuts after a while so you can bet the radio is on loud to drown it out,when the fog horn type noise happends it can be really painful.There is the veratgo thats can be just a slight dizzy floating to down right drunken falling down with neasua,I take antivert for it so most of the time it dose ok.How I rode horses plus did the things i've done over the years is a wonder to plane old stuborness.Not to say I did fall of a lot of times cause I did,but over time I got better at not falling off.I find the more active I am the better it is so I still do a lot of active things,once the doc said I had calcium deposits floating in my ear that causes this..whatever I wish it would go away when it hits.

I like the word chalenged better,I am not broken so impared dosent apply imhop,unfortunatly most of the world puts the impared word on anything that they dont feel is normal.You arent normal I was told onece,my reply was whats normal please define normal?? Everyone dose things diffrently to cope with life and get thrue the day so being there is no set way to live life there is no such thing as normal. Haveing the power to silence the chatter of life is god send to me,I have no clue how I would live with such noise on a 24 hour basics.Even when I turn off mey hearing aide I hear more than I want to cause being there is a hoh person near by people feel they need to ramp up the nose for some reason.Oftern I use an old trick I learned ages ago..I simply focus them totaly out of my mind buy hearing the sounds that I like in my mind..if that makes any scence..confuseing I know but it works for me. I was ask if I caould have total clear hearing would I take it,my reply was no.Why,well over the years I have ajusted to life the way I am,so even tho I do miss some things I would like to have I see more of life that hearing people ever do because I go thrue like looking at it in a diffrent way so am more aware of what comes in to my world..I can make it good or walk away. |

Hi DamonK.My audiologist has this recording of what it would be like to hear from an implant,it sounds like an old radio to me,I know folks who have them that say to them its more clear than that and they were glad to have them put in.Also I was told haveing an implant put in will destroy what ever hearing you do have..so its a trade off of keeping what you have in hearing or going another rout. |

Yes.
Generally if not done within a certain timeframe, it is not as successful. Some see it as a viable option. I don't. |

I can relate with you Rockinonahigh
Hello Rockinonahigh,
Me too., vertigo and ringing in my ears., high pitch ringing, however if ever low pitch I need to be careful as soon I'll pass out. However I've learn how not to pass out if low ringing happens; do you ever crave to rock when lying down, I crave to rock when lying down. I've had this yes, dizzy floating and feel like drunk with neasua... I'm not sure if this is relation with ears, but I can't tell my rights side of body to left... I can't tell what is my right hand or left hand... I use touch to tell me what is right and what is left. Example I touch from index finger down to the thumb to understand that's my left hand. And I make a "R" letter (sign la) with my right hand to know that's my right hand. Do you go through this, can't tell your right from your left? I've ridden horses too in my younger years: I've learn to live with floating -- I think what it is, if I can describe it feels like no compass in my body. When the nausea and or low ringing happens I know I'll pass out soon and I know I need to remain very still and if possible even lower my head where I'm upside down like... Now not sure how much this has to relate with ears, but having blood flow to my head helps in this situation... You see I have a lot to learn yet, but thinking of it, how the ears are, isn't just reaction of audio but also of air pressures, oh this reminds me, every time I swallow my ears pop... Does your ears do this every time you swallow your ears pop? Some things I'm so use to that I don't pay attention; I can so much relate with you I really can... I can go on I really can - sharing how my ears has made it a very challenging to be here on earth, making earth very uncomfortable and a challenge. Quote:
