Very good video with insightful advice for Iphone users. I have the Oticon bone anchored hearing aid. I have had for years and love it. Recently rediscovered the connect clip in box and will give it a try.

Have you tried using it to connect your hearing aids to a PC or Mac? It sometimes works great although sometimes when using Microsoft Teams people on the call say I sound like a robot? Do you have any experience with this?

Sending you love and support your way. As someone who had hearing loss since age 3, this 45 yr old found your video relatable. Thank you for sharing.

One ear cochlear implant seems to be a good idea. If my hearing loss progresses to your point, I'll probably do that too. Keep us updated 😊

If you go to a frequency sweep of the audio spectrum. They’re all over KZbin and quite accurate. I’d be curious to know where your hearing falls off. I can’t hear anything above 2K. But I’ve definitely been in love with many many songs where I can’t even hear the actual lyrics. Above 2000 is completely absent in the mix for me. So that means technically I’m hearing a completely different piece of music than people who can hear all the way up to 15 or 18,000 Hz OK now I watch the video

Thank you!! Also suggest Abby Jimenez release from this year Just For the Summer. Highly recommend Abby's Yours Truly

I'm trying not to lose hope for a remedy. Every day I wake up hopeful I can hear (pun intended) the good news.

The things you were saying are so triggering to me I can’t really watch. That’s the way these things work. I have worn hearing aids since I was 16 years old. I am now 48. There is simply no way to quantify what I have been through in a KZbin KZbin comment The succinct version is , it is my life mission to get the software to my own hearing aids. Hearing aids do not work. They could but they don’t. That is my belief. It is so exhausting and I’m so sorry you were going through that. I know what you’re talking about. I can’t hear anything above 2000 Hz. If I have any advice. I do have a good bit of wisdom. I’ve done all the things you’re supposed to do in life, but it all fell apart. I ran a business at one point I was married and had three kids. Nowadays, my hearing disability limits me to being a reclusive hermit. But it’s hard to explain. I will go into a city full of people, but don’t really know anybody because I can’t because I can’t have a conversation and I have to get out of it quickly. I fake it all the time. The most important advice I have for you. Don’t get cochlear implants. There are people working in the medical field, and there are people working in the medical science field and tech science field. As we speak. Cochlear implants are made by the same companies that make the hearing aids. These are the same companies that refused to give you access. That charge you thousands and thousands of dollars to give you the same thing that a $20 pair of gas station earbuds can do for people with better hearing . These are the same people that are in cahoots with audiologist as we sit weeks at a time sometimes. You can always get cure implants later. Don’t do it that is my advice. Get it out of your head now. This disability can be so hard, but you are obviously an overachiever if you just got a masters degree. Wait it out I have a feeling technology is about to catch up in a way better way. I used voice dictation to write this, and I had to correct almost everything I said, and my hearing aids interfere with the microphones on my phone . You are too young to let these people put their device in your head OK, I watched the rest of the video. Always listen to music. Never let it go. I play like five instruments. I actually do it on the street. I can’t hear when people talk to me, but I play music to them. OK, I’m done

I found this channel when I was starting my journey with hearing aids. Conference rooms often kill me. Phone calls to my hearing aids works well for me. I am not sure how it sounds on the other end. I have been able to use over the ear headphones for normal computer Teams meeting and turn my hearing aid down a click or two to take out the feedback squeal. Drive thrus simply have bad audio all around.

I'm sorry that happened to you. I'm also thinking they could have sat you next to the speaker of whatever was playing this podcast and you could have put your phone up to it to use speech to text, at least that way you'd have had a form of transcript? :(

Great video with very detailed insights. I believe some of the activities are doable depending on the extent of your hearing loss. Unfortunately, that's not the case for me; I would never attempt to go through a drive-thru, setting myself up for failure and struggle. However, the issues you've mentioned are daily challenges for us. If you've had hearing loss for a while, I'm sure you're accustomed to it by now. For newcomers, knowledge is power. Thank you for sharing.

Well said. I find that I'm not very vocal about my hearing loss unless I'm directly speaking with someone, and even then, I sometimes forget due to the natural flow of the conversation. However, when someone has to repeat themselves, I'll mention it. These small incidents do occur, even when going through the proper channels. Hopefully, it was just a one-off and won't happen again. If you want to share your graduation experience, that would be awesome. Considering you're diving into the working world soon, you could offer insights, tips, and how you navigate the challenges, as well as what it takes for someone with hearing loss to manage a full-time job in your industry, mentally and otherwise. Also, I noticed your hobby of reading books-continue with what makes you feel fulfilled. If you're outdoorsy to an extent and enjoy sightseeing or visiting places like art galleries or aquariums, it would be nice to hear your opinion, along with footage of course.

I'm sorry things didn't work out, maybe a more comfortable environment would be better, like a board game cafe/used book store?

That coffee shop date story had me laughing out loud! Honestly, I'm grateful you shared it. Life is indeed about perspective; we grow and improve through our experiences. Considering this is online dating, it has its pros and cons. I'm excited for you, especially as someone with hearing loss, and it's great that your date was accommodating-that's a huge plus. It's also wonderful that they respected you, your time, and saw you for who you are. You're knowledgeable, wise, and beautiful. I enjoy your content and, as for the future, if it's meant to be, just don't get married without letting us know! Sending warm regards from Florida🌴🌴🌴

Good morning

Thank you for highlighting Daisy! I really enjoyed your recap.

this was amazing left a like

19?!

Any updates? Have you decided to get them? Wishing you the best!

You have my full support <3

I hope you're okay now sending love and strength ❤

Thank you for sharing! I’ve had a hearing loss since I was 3 too! Went through so many of the things you’ve listed. It’s an interesting life to live for sure haha. I’d like to consider that hearing loss gave us the gift to be adaptable. It’s also gives us a unique perspective on life as well as empathy for others. While it has brought us many challenges throughout the years, it has also given us many gifts that make us who we are today!

Interesting topic and intelligent take, definitely support system matters, foundation as well whether it be having hearing loss from a young age or older , I’ve heard success stories from those with disabilities you being one of them, it’s important to distinguish ourselves with the accomplishments we achieve and let not what we have hurdle us, cause looking back what we have today did not existed some many years ago, Thank you for your message, God bless.

appriciate your decision..keep it up with self study👍

you got this. Working and working on your masters is rough. I hope that this will give you some peace so you can focus on your studies <3

Hi friends! Happy 2024! I am so excited for all that this year has in store and I have been working hard on making consistent content for you all!

The Best book to read is what your necklace represents. Jesus. I personally can’t get into fictions but glad you are finding it entertaining. God Bless.

Is your iq dont drop after having hearing loss

Is your iq dint dropped after having hearing loss

Do you think people should ask you about whether or not you have a relationship with Jesus. ?. I mean the topic is far more important than people’s opinions about minor things. I’ve lived over 50+ years with a hearing loss, so I do understand some of our struggles we have with the hearing community. Good you’re sharing some of your experiences, it may help others in some ways. Merry Christmas to you and your love ones.

I’m 50+ years experienced in what you are experiencing. I have always been in the hearing community and don’t really know others like myself. It definitely can feel isolating being as we are. Just want you to know, you’re not alone in our struggles. God Bless you in your journey. Steve.

I’m totally with you. People need to live their own lives and mind their own business!

Hi I'm❤❤❤❤

I’m not much of a reader anymore but I love your energy ! Makes me wanna read again :]

Happy, relaxing holiday reading!

The focus , dedication and energy you put into your life is amazing!

Holiday Romance caught my attention, it seems entertaining and cute despite the cliché plot🩷

Same, Same🙃

Relatable, most situations, if not all i inform the individual i'm better with 1 on 1 conversations vs a group and also it depends on the environment, needless to say i don't have much friends, but each individual i encounter, i try to spark up a conversation, whether it be compliments, tattoos, something noticeable about that person, as well as profession.

I'm not a fan of Cassandra Clare but those books look gorgeous. I love the golden typography on the cover, it gives me a lot of 80's epic fantasy vibes.

Have you ever thought about phonak audeo lumity? It’s waterproof.

Hello🙋‍♂️ 💕

I wanted a set of these in aqua with matching earmolds. Too bad they're not being made anymore!

Hello where you are

Hi😊😊😊😊

i start reading the twisted books 5 days ago and im already at the final book its really good

Agree with you about Babel. Although, I also DNF'D The Poppy War too. For me, it's her writing style. I wasn't invested in any of the characters and she's one of those author's that uses a "mallet " when she's trying to impart her "lesson". 😏 If I wanted that I could watch an ABC After School Special, which was the bibe her book was giving me. Plus, was she getting paid per footnote or something?! 😂 It was like SJM and her endless ellipses, who I also can't read. (Mostly because of her poor writing and lack of editing) I knew Spare was going to be a train wreck. 🤨That whole family is Messy. If the Brits were smart they'd boot the lot of them out and put their overly large salaries back to the people, where it could actually do some good and serve a purpose unlike the royals.

This might be the longest video I have ever posted ahah let me know what you think!! What is your latest 5 star read?

Same here. 2 weeks ago I just got new phonak hearing aids but I think I might get cochlear implant too. Cochlear implant is so expensive than hearing aids.

just found your channel and i love your videos) mad respect for finishing shatter me series, couldnt get past first book but if it really does get better i might give it one more try haha
