I am a writer with moderate hearing loss, which I have had since I was in my early 30's. Now in my mid 50's I want to create a blog where we can have open discussion about what it is like in the world of the hard of hearing. This may be humorous stories or poignant ones and hopefully there will be some useful advice on how to avoid the isolation which occurs when communication becomes difficult. Please interact with the site. It's for you and me to talk.
One of my fears when I was told that my hearing would probably deteriorate was that I would lose the ability to hear music. For a person who likes to dance and exercise to music, I anticipated that it would be one of the the most isolating aspects of my condition. Instead, to my great relief, I have found that I can hear the beat of most music and most of the melody. So that means that I can dance to my heart's content, if just a little off time occasionally. The biggest problem is that my hearing aids get very damp and that can affect their efficiency. Has anyone found a decent aid which doesn't suffer from the build up of damp in the ears?
