[Leer más]Dear People, I have been having trouble hearing people sometimes, and sometimes it sounds like mumbling, but the people aren t actually mumbling. Also, when in a place with lots of background noises, like in the school lunch room, I most of the time, can t hear what others are saying to me in this situation. Also, I can hear the TV when it s on but not working, and has that high pitched ringing sound to it, I can hear this clearly, yet I still have trouble with hearing and understanding...
[Leer más]For 30 years ive been wearing hearing aids. For 30 years I did without. Which was better? As a child I always made eye contact with everyone, we were taught it was polite. It was a great way of lip reading process. Furthermore, a lot of observing was going on, and seeing what other people did not see. You are looking so serious they said to me, as a small child. I was always frowning to check what was going on. Apparently I had a small hearing loss. At school things went good and...
[Leer más]I have had hearing loss in both ears since I was about 7 or 8 years old. Ear infections and "glue ear" was common for me. I also had the mumps. I had surgeries to try to correct perforated eardrums, but was not successful. I wore an ITE hearing aid when I was a young adult. It was not suitable as it caused itchiness and I had constant "wet ear". My hearing continued to deteriorate. I developed seasonal allergies and would often get fluid in the ear. At age 48, I had surgery for a BAHA (Bone...

[Leer más]My 13yo daughter with no previous history of ear infections began having chronic infections about 10months ago. She has had PE tube surgery and they have not helped. She now has moderate hearing loss in one ear and is showing changes in the other. She now wears a hearing aid in one ear. Our local doctors are baffled as to why a child with no previous history would begin having ear infections leading to hearing loss. I am looking for a specialist preferably in the Houston or New Orleans area...
