I Wear Hearing Aids?

Author: I was wondering, do you think it would be easier to just give them back and learn sign language? Sometimes they get so frusterating and I cant hear what people say anyway most of the time.

Last year my son who is 2 years old started to wear hearing aids too due to profound hearing loss.The doctor said it will help him hear but not 100 percent sure.If you can attend a special school where they can teach you lip reading and sign language,it is much better for you dear…
The audiologist who tested and fitted you needs to do some adjustment to eliminate the factors causing your frustration. Quality aids can be adjusted for distant noise elimination such as noise from across the hall. Volume on many can be adjusted to eliminate feedback whistling. Your basic hearing issue determines how well you hear using aids. Sometimes they help but just do not accomplish the task. You need to be sure you are inserting them correctly. They usually have a mark of some kind to indicate right and left side. The mark may be a colored dot: red for right and blue for left or vice/versa. When they are working as they should they will be much more useful to you.
im the exact opposite, i get frustrated when people sign and prefer to use my hearing aids, i am in denial, i think i can hear, but i cant, i only have about a fourth of what normal people hear, going, and im supposed to learn sign, but im holding it off.
I have a 50/50 chance of going deaf. I am 46 now. Hearing -aides made things worse for me. Over the tears i ask people to speak up plus i learned on my own to read lips.I never wear mine. People talk about all these annoying sounds as beeping etc.. i cant hear them . LOL
Griz has got your problem solved.
Sound advice & most worthy of your consideration.
I learned sign language in High School its an amazing language and culture. I would keep the hearing aids until you learn sign language, then decide. I hope this helps
