Loss of Hearing

Posts Tagged ‘Should’

- Live in a reasonably well populated and affluent suburban area, surrounded by respectable families (people who live on their own will find it much easier to dispose of your body without anybody seeing). An isolated farm area might not be ideal, because you need someone to hear your cries for help should the worse come to worst).
- No one night stands with a person you’ve never met before (best avoided completely actually, with aids on the loose).

Hello, I’m a guy who very rarely goes to barbershops. I wear a new-model “nearly invisible” hearing aid around my right ear, and by this I mean the hearing aid matches the my hair color, and has a very thin wire coming from behind-and-over my ear into the ear canal.
If I take it off, then the someone would have to talk pretty loud or close to my ear for me to hear them! (I don’t know if barbers usually communicate with their clients during a haircut or not at all). Should I:
1. Let the barber know but don’t remove the hearing aid, unless I am asked to. I don’t think I need to remove the hearing aid… or no?
2. Let the barber know and remove the hearing aid. Should I then tell him to speak close to my ear / speak loudly?
Thanks a lot for your help!
If you’re a hairdresser, please say so and which you prefer!

I have hearing aids, and I need them to help me hear.
The helmet should not be too close to my ears or my hearing aids will start whispering loud.
What kind of four wheel helmet should I get and so I can still wear my hearing aids?

i had a disease a while back, the disease was on my ear drum and i was born with it.
when they removed it through surgery, they took away most of my ear drum in the right side of my ear.
my doctor tells me i am one of the people in the world who may not benefit from normal hearing aids, but benefit from something called a bone anchored hearing aid.
he told me it will be in my skull and the sound will almost bounce to my canal?
although i find this all overwhelming, i cant decide whether i enjoy being half deaf, because when i put an ordinary hearing aid in, i feel odd and i don’t like it. i think its because i’m so used to having hearing loss.
the advantages would be i don’t have to say ‘what?’ to my friends all the time so they have to shout at me in loud places.
sometimes i feel stupid, and i don’t like it.
i don’t know what to do.
any ideas from people who aren’t deaf and people who are?
maybe someone who has been in my shoes?
all responses will be read with thought
thank you soo much
