Hi. Just found your video! I am 42, born with unilateral hearing. I don't say loss because I never had 2 working ears to begin with. My right ear is completely deaf. I grew up struggling in school and with interpersonal relationships, as well as work related issues. I have a deep fear of losing my kids because I can't tell the direction of sound. I have been bullied by my former spouse for not listening, even though I am unable to listen, just as a paralyzed person is unable to walk. --To be clear, I am defining "listen" as the ability to push down one sound, while focusing on another. It has taken me a long time to become confident in myself, yet I want to learn more about the brain's processes when it deals with unilateral hearing. I'm hoping to continue my education on this, not just for myself, but also I might someday help someone.
Hi 👋 I'm also unilateral hearing from my right ear, I'm a 42 year old mom of 4 kids and gradually lost my hearing throughout my childhood. I'm sure you're a wonderful parent and despite the challenges that come with unilateral hearing you're doing your best and possibly even more than that. I wish my husband and family understood more about what's it like and finding videos like these are very helpful. Best wishes to you and yours.
