With my 94-year-old mother, we found that the key was talking VERY SLOWLY, spacing the words apart. She needed that extra second between words to process speech.
Is the partially deaf person responsible for miscommunication when they don't get a hearing aid? I have several colleagues and family that continue to treat me as inconsiderate for not getting an aid when it would benefit, and thus refuse and get angry when i ask for accommodations...
Hearing aid didn't work for me it was bothering me , I continue to deal with my hearing loss im 37 yrs old . I try to avoid meetings or getting involved in situations , believe it or not now this days people wearing masks and speaking behind glass makes it very hard for me to hear theme. If i have to go somewhere i have to have someone with me to intrpiut the whole conversation? This is frustrating but we have no choice.
No. People think hearing-aids are magic, and they are not. They also have NO idea how expensive they are, or how uncomfortable--especially if you already wear glasses. And if you have some that are work pretty well, you're still going to miss things. I wore them for over 20 years but not now; they broke, and I can't afford to replace them. You have a hearing-loss and you are entitled to respect, patience and reasonable accommodation.
@@ameebohrer1889 I agree with what you're saying. I'm in my 60s and have had aids since about 3 and as I'm getting older it's becoming more and more uncomfortable. There have been times I've gone to have my tubings replaced and it hasn't been done correctly and I've ended up with blisters on my ears and I've also had times that it's caused infections. I've had that happen at least 4 times and the pain has been excruciating. Thankfully I live alone so I don't have to listen to anyone, but others have no idea how difficult they are to wear. And as you say, the aids only help to a point and we still miss heaps and much of what we hear is actually guesswork, which is usually limited to people we know. I agree we are entitled to respect and patience - it is a disability that we have no control over and we are doing the best we possibly can.
I have congenital hearing loss and this is a great video to show friends what it's like with hearing loss.
