So Amanda is not deaf. She can wear a hearing aid that is great. I have profound hearing loss and hearing aids dont work for me anymore. In fact i get no response in both ears starting out around 1-1500 Hz and beyond. Good that she can use hearing aids still

I was also diagnosed of similar condition last week and i have been crying till now . Because am from a poor home and can't afford hearing aid.

Oh, so it’s just another ad of hearing devices. That’s bullshit. Hearing devices can increase your ability to hear just in 5-10%. If she could’t hear kids as a teacher without hearing device, there is no way that with hearing device she can work as a teacher again. You are just a dream sellers.
