    So Amanda is not deaf. She can wear a hearing aid that is great. I have profound hearing loss and hearing aids dont work for me anymore. In fact i get no response in both ears starting out around 1-1500 Hz and beyond. Good that she can use hearing aids still

    Oh, so it’s just another ad of hearing devices. That’s bullshit. Hearing devices can increase your ability to hear just in 5-10%. If she could’t hear kids as a teacher without hearing device, there is no way that with hearing device she can work as a teacher again. You are just a dream sellers.
