Hey Shiloh!

Thank you for reaching out! Feel free to talk to a listener or join a group support room! There is even a specific room to talk about disabilities and you can filter for listeners with experience with a disability here: www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners :)

Take care

@Shiloh23 I would message you but I have no idea how to LOL. I registered on this site literally in the past hour or so.

@Shiloh23 I have moderate hearing loss. When my audiologist recommended wearing hearing aids, I was shocked. Fortunately, it is easy to find all the needed hearing aid supplies online. I bought Phonak Lyric hearing aids that are worn completely in the canal. Yes, I had to get used to them, but I feel confident, and in most cases, people don't even notice them. I know my case is not the same as yours. But I just wanted to share my experience in the hope you will feel that you are not alone who have hearing issues here. Be free to talk to other members here.

Hi @Shiloh23! Welcome! We absolutely can be friends! *Takes a cookie and passes plate to others* I personally do not have experience with this but I have a friend who didn't talk until she was 7 and used sign language instead.

Hello!


So my name is FrenchMarbles, I have a condition called Mondini Dysplasia (rolls off the tongue!)

Basically I am profoundly deaf and I use a hearing aid and a cochlear implant.

Feel free to message me anytime, I've lived with my deafness all my life and would be happy to talk to you :D
