Oh I meant for him ;)

Nope. None of us know it. Years ago I talked to my soon to be ex husband about learning ASL with me, he flat out refused. Then when we were talking about divorce, well fighting about it, some how that got brought up, and he's all "If you want me to I'll learn it for you", no too late now, stfu...

I haven no idea I have never watched that. I'm not real big on watching TV.

When I get a hearing test done, sometimes when I hear the beeps I'll think, wait, was that a beep? Or are my ears just ringing again?

yep otosclerosis, and cochlear otosclerosis (that's a bit more rare). For most people that get it it stays out of their cochlea and just causes bone conduction, I have a mixed bag bone conduction and sensorineural. I think most of my loss is sensorineural.

people were playing frisbee...

I was 27. My hearing in my left ear started going when I was 20 though. But I actually managed fine just being able to hear out of my right, as long as someone wasn't sitting on my left trying to talk to me anyway :p I had my son at 23, my daughter at 25, it was right after I had her that my...

Agreed, I just think about different things :) I don't know sign so that doesn't usually cross my mind, but I do get a moment of "hey!! they have HAs too" I've never asked someone about theirs though. I want to ask to this girl that works at the pizza place in the same plaza as my plaza. She's a...

oh I meant just anybody. I don't think people notice mine unless I point them out. Other people that wear them though? We can spot them from a mile away ;)

I was watching Son's of Anarchy last night, and Lumpy the old guy that owns the boxing gym was wearing a hearing aid. But he's an old guy, guess it's kind of expected ;) I do wonder if most people would even notice or think about it. I don't think people do.

Yep, at least 40, there could be 50, I'm not positive. But my Costco has a hearing aid center, that is not where I got my aids though they don't have anything nearly powerful enough for me. I don't know if Costcos that don't have a hearing aid center sell the batteries, they might. They probably...

I think 40, maybe more, they come in a big sheet, but there's perforated sections with 10 each, and I've already ripped it apart. I think there was 4 sections, not positive. The packs of 13's are $10 also, but I'm pretty sure there's more of them than in the 675's. I used the 13s for my other...

Has anyone had a pet get a hold of your hearing aid? About a week after I got my first digital aid I went to take a bath. Took my aid out and put it on a shelf in the bathroom, well it fell, probably immediately, but since I'd taken my aid out i was deaf and didn't hear it hit the floor. Got in...

I have mixed feelings about analog vs digital, they both have pros and cons, but for the most part the pros for digitals outweigh the pros for analogs. I always feel like I had a little more control over volume with the analogs. Or maybe my first set of digital were just never adjusted properly...

Hi I'm Amber, I'm late deafened. Started losing my hearing at age 20, I'm almost 38 so I've now spent almost as much time being hoh as I spent being hearing. Although it's only been in the last couple years that I went from severe/profound loss to profound, in my right ear anyway. Left one has...
