I'm 15 with mild hearing loss and what the doctor explained, is exactly what I experience

I'm 46 and at the suggestion of my therapist I got an appointment with audiology. They started with a screening which indicated hearing loss so then they did a full test. Based on the results and history they found I've probably been dealing with mild hearing loss and tinnitus for most of my life. I didn't know any different. My therapist made the suggestion after I was telling her about the difficulty I had with group conversations and the resulting frustration and anxiety. Like you said in the video, I've had trouble with relationships as a result of hearing loss. Now I'm in the process of getting hearing aids!!! I can hardly wait to find out what I've been missing.

Best of luck to you! And kudos to your therapist for recommending hearing testing.

Went to ENT specialist for ear infection suction and told him about my hearing test which showed hearing loss(no surprise at my age and I have tinnitus) and his response was did they try to sell you expensive hearing aids-they sure did unsuccessfully.

I am looking for a hearing aid for one ear-- to match the response in my good ear. The problem is hearing aids do not reproduce 3 dimensional spatial information. How well does the current technology perform in this respect. In my case, as a professional sound engineer the aural input of both ears must be matched or the program I record is totally inaccurate producing a lopsided mix.
