Such a beautiful, relatable, wise and eye-opening presentation. I was so thankful and teary-eyed hearing someone else describe so perfectly the almost daily struggles my son and I go through with our hearing loss. The whispering in the ear part, was so on point! Thank you so much! I will be sharing this with friends, family, and co-workers.🙂
Thank you SO much ! All so very true and I will have my wife watch this. I have Profound Loss due to Meniere's Disease and was implanted with my first CI 5 yrs ago. About to have my second one done as well.
I am deaf too. I have sent the link to my own wife, who is blessed with excellently keen hearing, to better understand my problems. She gets my attention when I am immersed in listening to other things like music and video, but she then starts to talk before I have time to pause it or turn around to face her and listen. Often I get up from bed whilst she is still sleeping. I don't need the aids in for anything at that time of the day, so when she comes to where I am and starts to talk, she is somewhat rapid in her speech, I say slow down please, I don't have my aids in! "Well you'll have to DO something about that!" she says emphatically. I have "Oh they don't do any good! You need to get better ones" And so it goes, back and forth, the same old, same old, day in and day out. Some people never understand what we have to put up with. I worked in a very noisy environment, headphones helped, but the invention of active noise reduction was a really good addition to the 'phones and ear protection. So why not include "white noise" into hearing aids?
My sister is 32 years old and she has suffered from meniere disease for years and she always complains to me that I had to bought her Dr Madida herbs I saw on RUclips and she is telling me last month that she is cured completely and don’t long have the symptoms like vertigo or dizziness, feeling of fullness in the ear or ringing, hearing loss, imbalance, motion sickness, nausea, or nystagmus//
I will forever credit Dr Liam Ogbebor on RUclips for playing a vital role in curing my tinnitus ear ringing infection , and menieres diseases he is indeed a dedicated and compassionate doctor , you'll forever have a place in my heart Am grateful doctor Liam Ogbebor❤
Thankyou for this conversation!!! I have a task to help create community based programs for youth with hearing impairments, of which to date I have none. I could use a great partnership along this journey. I would love to correspond with you! Be blessed!!!
Mehh i Like the whole Thing but blindness is worse... Blind people have a hard time to go out even if its only a grocery store, its hard to Find the products they want to buy without touching them, they cant drive cars or decide to go on a walk through a forest or Any landscaoe because they dont See whats around them. This Disconnets them not only from the outside World but also from other people especially people who are not blind, they cant See the other Person which Disconnets a bit because the dont See facial expression, i could really go on Like that...
Yes and no. They have sometimes much more developed hearing. I have 4% of hearing left. One of my friend is totally blind. He is able to do things which are very hard or almost impossible for me and he is very communicative person too. Basically, everyone admires and adores him. He speaks several language and plays on several musical instruments. He doesn´t have problem to hear an approaching car too (I should be a dead meat now :D ). To the contrary, I have ability to do things he can´t do. I don´t know what is worse... However, it´s hard he is dependent on an assistant if he want to go outside (however, deaf people are dependent on interpreter too). There are deaf people who know just sign language too. It depends on individual person. There is no point in comparing it. We have to live with that. :D
I could also go on to write a passionate book on how hearing loss is much, much worse. But thankfully after a quarter of a century living in this difficult world, I’ve realized that downgrading another persons struggles is irrelevant. All of our struggles are unique but in the essence of those struggles difficulties, they are but the same. Therefore, we should all be aware that we are all fighting a battle and however different, we can help each other in our triumphs.
This is a beautiful presentation! Thank you Linnaea Mallette! I will remember my CPR!
My mother has hearing loss. She brought me here. I am hugely encouraged by this lady's story. Thank you. For sharing. 🙏
I hope the CPR tips help keep connection with your mom....

Thank you for telling the world about us.
Thank you, Francais. Sorry for the late reply. I did not realize I could reply to comments!!!!

This is a great video! To bad it is not properly captioned. The automatic RUclips caption got some words wrong.
Super salad of a talk Linnaea. So proud of you. Edwin
Thank you, Edwin!!!!
Wonderful! I would like to this with family, friends and colleagues. I have to do better to be my own advocate.
Great presentation! Just coming to terms with hearing loss am a singer
Thank you so much!
Excellent Talk!
Thank you, Dr. Polucki.

Great talk, but terrible closed captioning on a video about hearing loss. So ironic (and irritating).
Ironic....

I'd be happy to a resource in your worthwhile endeavor!
"Super salad!" Ha! I've totally done that! 🤣

The volume comes and goes on this video.....for me. Is it on purpose? Or am I the problem?
Not just you, Jane. I noticed, too.
